In this episode of Exploring A Course in Miracles, Robert and Emily Perry take a deep look at the Course's system of practical application—the concrete, daily instructions Jesus gives for meditation, guidance, forgiveness, prayer, miracle-mindedness, and the steady practices that allow the Course's promises to become real in our lives. The Course is not vague at all—it tells us exactly what to do—but most of us don't realize how practical it truly is, or how much power is hidden in doing what it asks. If you've ever thought, "If I really applied myself, I know I could live this teaching more fully," this episode is for you.

In this sermon, Emily Perry explores A Course in Miracles' radically different vision of gratitude—not as a reaction to circumstances or a comparison of blessings, but as a way of seeing grounded in the unchanging gifts God has already given us. Drawing on Lesson 195 and the powerful list of promises in Lesson 123, Emily examines why our usual forms of gratitude are so fragile, and how a deeper, steadier gratitude arises when we recognize our true identity, God's constant love, the Holy Spirit's guidance, and the shared holiness of everyone we meet. This message is an invitation to let gratitude become a way of being and ultimately a "song of thanks" that transforms how we see ourselves and the world.

In this episode of Exploring A Course in Miracles, Robert and Emily Perry take on one of the most influential ideas in all of spirituality: the Last Judgment. They explore what the Bible says about it, how this concept has shaped Western culture and our view of God, and the enormous harm created by the traditional "saved vs. damned" framework. Most importantly, Robert and Emily show how A Course in Miracles offers a radically different and healing perspective – one that replaces fear with an invitation to deeper trust in a God who has never stopped loving us.
