    Sunday Sermon: The Course's Simple Formula

    Feeling overwhelmed by the complexity of A Course in Miracles? You're not alone. From the moment we open the book, we often find ourselves searching for a clear, simple way to understand and explain its teachings. In this Sunday Gathering sermon, Robert Perry dives into Lesson 297, where the Course itself offers a "simple formula"—a single sentence broken into three short, practical, and memorable parts.

    Our Sunday Gatherings are open to all and take place each month on the 2nd and 4th Sundays at 11 a.m. ET (4 p.m. UTC). We invite you to attend - and to bring a friend - to be in fellowship with other Course students.

    The Social Vision of A Course in Miracles

    In this episode Robert and Emily dive into A Course in Miracles' powerful vision for social change—one fueled by divine love entering our minds and flowing outward to others—as well as the clear, practical steps the Course outlines to bring about this transformation. You'll also discover the beautiful imagery the Course uses—temples, havens, gardens, treasure houses—to illustrate this journey. If you’re asking yourself, “How can I do my part to bring love into a divided world?” this episode is for you.

    This podcast is based on an article Robert wrote, which you can find here: https://circleofa.org/library/the-social-vision-of-a-course-in-miracles/

    Peacemaking as a Spiritual Practice with Jer Swigart

    Here at the Circle we are actively seeking to engage in dialogue with Christian leaders because we believe there is much overlap between the values of A Course in Miracles students and those who identify as reconstructing Christians. Namely, we both want to bring forth a world that sides with love in accordance with the teachings of Jesus. This is why we are thrilled to be speaking with Jer Swigart, cofounder of Global Immersion, this week.

    Global Immersion is a nonprofit that focuses on equipping leaders - particularly those in the Christian church - to become peacemakers in the world. In this podcast, Jer and Emily Perry talk about making peacemaking a spiritual practice, applying peacemaking principles to real-world settings, dismantling harmful ideologies, healing Christian nationalism, and finding Jesus in the middle of the storm.

    Why Does God Allow Suffering? (Sunday Gathering Sermon)

But this is also where A Course in Miracles can help, because the Course offers a series of teachings that - when you put them together - provide an answer to this long-standing question that actually makes sense.

    Osheta Moore on Living Jesus' Love Ethic in a Divided World

    In this week’s episode, Emily Perry interviews her beautiful spiritual teacher and friend Osheta Moore for a powerful conversation on living Jesus' love ethic in a divided world. Emily and Osheta explore how practicing love, compassion, and radical kindness can heal our relationships and communities. They also dive into the concept of Shalom—God’s vision for the world, where everything is healed and whole—and how it aligns with the Course’s teachings on being an embodiment of God's love in all spaces. Osheta also shares her inspiring vision of modern beloved community, a vision that mirrors the Course’s call to unity, forgiveness, and recognizing the divine in everyone without exception.

    Raising Children in Light: Parenting Lessons from A Course in Miracles (Sunday Gathering Sermon)

    A Course in Miracles contains a beautiful picture of what it is to be a parent. The Course speaks of parents as being in service of the spiritual development of children, with the major themes of instilling wisdom, providing emotional, and physical safety, and love. If we do this well, we can deposit what the Course calls a "reserve of strength" into the hearts of our children that can both prepare them for and repair them from the damage inflicted by this world. If you're interested in what the Course teaches on the topic of parenting, you won't want to miss this Sunday Gathering sermon from Emily Perry.

    The Priestess in A Course in Miracles

    In the months before A Course in Miracles started coming through, scribe Helen Schucman had three different Priestess visions that all appear to represent a past life of hers. One of those visions would continue to recur for years and even makes an appearance in the Text and the Workbook of the Course. But who is the Priestess, and why does she matter to our own spiritual journey? In this conversation, Robert and Emily discuss a little-known but very important element of the Course's story that has the potential to transform your entire prayer practice.

    The Forgotten Material - Upcoming Series Preview

    In this episode of Exploring A Course in Miracles, Robert and Emily Perry focus on two of the most important but little-known writings from Course scribe Helen Schucman: The Gifts of God and the Special Messages. The Gifts of God is Helen Schucman's last authentic scribing, taken down just three years before she died, and contains beautiful teachings on how God loves, the "secret place" in everyone where His gifts are laid, and the undesirability of the world. Special Messages are a series of personal messages Helen received that also contain beautiful and important teachings on our personal functions, as well as the function of A Course in Miracles more broadly.

    In this discussion, Robert and Emily offer a preview of their upcoming 11-week series "The Forgotten Material: Exploring Helen Schucman's Final Dictation and Special Messages," which begins on August 12th and is open to members of our Course Companions program. If you are not a member of Course Companions and would like to join us for this special series, we invite you to visit coursecompanions.com.
