Many of these relationships run on unspoken bargains, where one person holds the power and the other pays for it in silence. She looks a...

In this episode of A Course in Miracles: Walking the Talk, Living the Love, Jennifer Hadley explores a word that keeps coming up right now. It can be tempting to label people evil for what they do. What does that even mean? After a stranger's online attack over a simple question about her dog, her curiosity led her back to the teachings of A Course in Miracles. How does ACIM define evil? Along the...

In this episode of A Course in Miracles: Walking the Talk, Living the Love, Jennifer Hadley welcomes Keith Kavanagh, joining from just outside Dublin, for a conversation on ACIM, forgiveness, and true identity. Keith reveals why he carried the book for nearly thirty years before he'd say he was actually doing it, the surprising truth about the woman who scribed it and never practiced it, and the c...

You've said the forgiveness lines. You've read the passages. Underneath, you're still boiling, and you've started to wonder if you're doing this wrong. Neda Boin, A Course in Miracles teacher and voice liberator, took that exact question into two months of counseling with God, and what she found underneath her own beliefs is not what she went looking for. Most ACIM students stop one layer above it...

Someone gets upset and tells you it's your fault. That happened to Jennifer Hadley with a family member on a recent visit, and what she didn't do next is the whole teaching. No attacking back. No defending herself. No making him wrong. What she felt toward him instead is the part that's hardest to believe. Chapter 29 of A Course in Miracles, on the gap between you and your brother. To learn more a...

Jennifer Hadley says she doesn't have bad days anymore. Not fewer. None. Challenging days, yes, and recently a fractured finger that hurt plenty, but the whole category is gone, and it didn't go because she got better at pretending. Longtime A Course in Miracles teacher Maria Felipe hears the claim, recognizes it, and names the one thing that makes it possible in a single word. Most ACIM students...

One ordinary morning, Leon Joel Russell opened A Course in Miracles and hit a single paragraph that stopped him cold for six days. This week Jennifer Hadley sits down with her fellow ACIM teacher to follow where that paragraph led them, into a question most of us spend a lifetime avoiding: what are we actually afraid of, underneath all of it? Where they take it is lighter than the question sounds....

What if the person who irritates you most is holding the light you've been looking for? Jennifer Hadley picks up where she left off in Chapter 13 of A Course in Miracles, where ACIM makes a claim that sounds backwards until it doesn't: we find our own light only through the people we give it to. She's candid about the years she believed certain people deserved to be punished, and that she believed...

What if what's keeping you from love isn't what happened to you, but where you keep looking for it? Just back from a week of teaching at the Quantum Counseling Training Intensive, Jennifer Hadley opens A Course in Miracles to Chapter 13 and finds a claim that's easy to read past and almost impossible to believe: the Course doesn't say we should let the past go, it says we can't see it at all. So w...

Jennifer welcomes back her friend Tama Kieves - Harvard Law honors graduate turned best-selling author and longtime A Course in Miracles teacher - to talk about the one thing Jennifer says trips up nearly every ACIM student: trust. Her latest book, Learning to Trust Yourself, is the heart of the conversation. They get honest about the inner critic, the voice that says be practical, and the quiet k...

Jennifer Hadley and Mark Anthony Lord met as Agape Science of Mind Practitioners in training in 1999, and they've walked the same road ever since: prayer practitioner training, becoming ministers, starting their own ministries, learning to counsel and to train counselors. Both came up through their own dark night first, so this is also the story of how the work itself became the healing. Two longt...

Our earthly fathers are a challenge to us, and we’re a challenge to them.  In all of our primary relationships there’s a call for forgiveness.  No one does it perfectly and some of us really fail - but we can begin again.  It’s about being willing to Love without conditions.  Jennifer Hadley sits with A Course in Miracles Text Chapter 1 and the story of her own journey with her father, where ACIM'...

You believe in God. You also believe somebody is a sinner, that someone deserves what's coming, that you're being punished. The contradiction doesn't show up because everyone you know carries it too. The depression. The feeling of being judged. The joy that keeps slipping out of reach. Jennifer Hadley sits with A Course in Miracles Text Chapter 10, the section ACIM calls the denial of God, naming...

You've been waiting for your life to look different before you'd let yourself feel joy. Until the body heals. Until the relationship resolves. Until the news stops breaking your heart. Many of us have lived this way so long it's stopped feeling like waiting. Jennifer Hadley sits down with A Course in Miracles teacher Lisa Natoli, author of The Joy of Being, for a conversation that quietly question...

You've worked the lessons. You've tried harder. Somewhere underneath, a quiet voice still says you're not doing A Course in Miracles right. Maybe the forgiveness you thought you'd finished keeps circling back. Maybe the guilt of falling short has become its own weight. Jennifer Hadley sits down with author and teacher Michael Mirdad for a conversation that gently questions what ACIM is actually as...

Spiritual students who who pour themselves out for everyone else, then feel a flicker of guilt the moment they pause to care for themselves. They say yes when they’re already running low. When they finally rest, a quiet voice calls it selfish. For anyone walking a spiritual path, the line between devotion and depletion blurs fast, and most of us were taught to honor the wrong side of it. Joined by...

What if you've been studying spirituality your whole life and quietly missing the actual experience? In Episode 739 of A Course in Miracles with Jennifer Hadley, Jennifer welcomes bestselling author James Twyman for a conversation about his latest book - and an inheritance that traces back to 13th century women mystics most of us have never heard of. Why does the path to direct mystical experience...

What if waking up doesn't have to hurt? In Episode 738 of A Course in Miracles with Jennifer Hadley, Jennifer continues into the second half of one of the most foundational sections in ACIM “The Dreamer of the Dream” - and turns from diagnosis to medicine.

What if life isn't happening to you at all? In Episode 737 of A Course in Miracles with Jennifer Hadley, Jennifer opens Chapter 27, Section 7 — one of the most foundational sections in the Course — and walks listeners into a teaching that takes a few years of willingness to fully accept, but quietly ends the suffering of victimhood when it lands. Why does almost every problem feel like something t...

What if the very thing you love most is the thing that's hurting you? In Episode 736 of A Course in Miracles with Jennifer Hadley, Jennifer discusses Chapter 26, Section 6 and shares the personal story of her own bottoming-out moment when something she'd poured years into didn't go the way she hoped. Why does almost everything we strive for eventually disappoint us? Who is the friend ACIM says we'...

Most of us think we know what justice is. Then the word stops making sense. Chapter 19 of the Manual for Teachers offers a definition that has nothing to do with punishment, fairness, or getting even — and it quietly reorders what forgiveness requires of us. What IS justice, then? Why does forgiveness depend on it? And what's the one word we use without thinking that may be silently blocking every...
