In this episode, Jennifer Hadley explores ACIM teachings on happiness, certainty, and trust.

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 counterintuitive request Chapter 2 makes of anyone who's afraid. There's one step almost every student quietly skips, and there's a reason it can't be skipped.

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. The resistance isn't the obstacle you think it is.

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.

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 stop just short of it without ever noticing they've stopped.  Two longtime friends are telling the truth about living ACIM.

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. Two friends who love the truth, going somewhere worth following.

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 she was the one to do it, and about a thirty-hour journey home from Asheville that tested every word of what she teaches. There's only one requirement for any of it, and it isn't effort. To learn more about ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠A Course in Miracles⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ please visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Powerofloveministry.net⁠⁠⁠⁠.

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 what are we looking at, every time we're upset? Jennifer gets honest about the years she taught forgiveness before she was willing to forgive, and shares what she does now with the hardest seasons of a life. It asks almost nothing of us, which is the part most of us can't accept. To learn more about ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠A Course in Miracles⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ please visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Powerofloveministry.net⁠⁠⁠⁠.

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 knowing underneath it all. They answer the question: how do you tell guidance from fear? To learn more about ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠A Course in Miracles⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ please visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Powerofloveministry.net⁠⁠⁠⁠.

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 longtime A Course in Miracles teachers on what it really takes, and what ACIM keeps giving back along the way.

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's teaching on the atonement met decades of conflict head-on.

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 what's quietly closing the door.
