  • Who Was Jesus Before Christianity?
    Sep 20 2026

    Before Christianity became a religion, before centuries of theology and doctrine accumulated around him, there was a man named Jesus with a distinctive—and revolutionary—message. But what did he actually teach? What did he believe about God, about us, and about how we are meant to live? And for students of A Course in Miracles, there's another fascinating question: Does the Jesus we can recover from history sound like the Jesus we encounter in the Course? This episode of Exploring A Course in Miracles focuses on Robert's new book, The Teacher: Reclaiming the Original Message of Jesus of Nazareth, and what decades of research have revealed about the teacher behind Christianity.

    Order The Teacher and join us for Walking with the Teacher, a 14-day journey through the book with Robert and Emily, beginning October 12. https://jesus-theteacher.com/

  • Who is My Brother?
    Sep 6 2026

    The Course tells us that our brother is our savior. But what happens when we've decided that someone is guilty, dangerous, or undeserving? In this episode, a sermon from a recent Sunday Gathering, we'll explore the Course's laws of chaos section and the striking progression by which the ego turns a Son of God into an enemy whose suffering seems justified. At the heart of the episode is a question worth asking ourselves:

    Who have I decided is not my brother - and why?

  • Did Bill Thetford Edit A Course in Miracles?
    Aug 24 2026

    For decades, the Hugh Lynn Cayce manuscript—sometimes called the "Sparkly"—has been described as "the Thetford Edit," based on the belief that Bill was its primary editor. But does the historical evidence actually support that claim? In this episode, Robert and Emily Perry examine eyewitness accounts and the Course's early manuscripts to ask who was really making the editorial decisions—and offer a clearer picture of how the Course came to be. Read our full article and see the evidence: https://circleofa.org/library/did-bil...

  • The Jesus We Lost: Recovering the Teacher Behind the Savior
    Aug 17 2026

    For two thousand years, we've known Jesus as Messiah, Son of God, Lord and Savior. But somewhere along the way, another Jesus largely disappeared from view: Jesus the Teacher. In this message from a Sunday Gathering sermon, we explore what happened to that Jesus and why recovering him matters now. Drawing on Robert's forthcoming book, The Teacher: Reclaiming the Original Message of Jesus of Nazareth, we'll return to the Gospels and encounter a Jesus who taught an astonishing vision of how to be in this world and why it matters now.

  • 202 - Miracles: The Essential Course of Action
    Jul 27 2026

    What is revelation, and what is its place in a course in miracles? In this talk from a recent Sunday Gathering, Robert addresses the relationship between revelation—the experience of oneness with God—and miracles—interpersonal expressions of love. He discusses Helen and Bill's very different relationships with revelation. And he answers the crucial question: why is this a course in miracles rather than a course in revelation?

  • You Lead, They Follow: Leadership in ACIM
    Jul 6 2026

    Whether or not you think of yourself as a leader, someone in your life is watching you - and you're influencing them. In this Sunday Gathering sermon, Emily Perry explores what A Course in Miracles says about leadership — not the "command and control" model most of us distrust, nor the "nobody's in charge" alternative many of us have romanticized, but something truly rooted in love instead. How can you lead in a Course-based way?

  • Freedom from Anger
    Jun 16 2026

    In a world that constantly demands our outrage, most of us have never stopped to ask whether our anger is actually working – or whether it's working against us. In this episode recorded at a recent Sunday Gathering sermon, Emily Perry looks at what A Course in Miracles teaches about the true roots of anger, and why the Course makes the radical claim that anger is never justified. If you're tired of carrying anger you don't know how to put down, this message is for you.
