In this episode, Emily and Robert Perry from the Circle of Atonement reflect on what they learned from their recent 28-Day Relationship Challenge. This challenge, hosted for the members of the Circle's Course Companions community, focused on applying the ten characteristics of a spiritually advanced teacher of God from the Manual for Teachers of A Course in Miracles to transform relationships.

The challenge was inspired by the realization that when we want change in our relationships, we often focus on changing others rather than ourselves. Emily and Robert took on the task of embodying the Course's definition of a spiritually advanced teacher for 30 days, trusting the Course's methods and principles and letting go of the usual impulse to control.

Here, they share insights on how characteristics like trust, tolerance, gentleness, defenselessness, patience, and generosity can deeply impact how we show up in relationships. They discuss the challenges and rewards of applying these traits, such as how embracing defenselessness can bring peace to difficult situations or how practicing patience stems from trusting that the outcome is certain. Tune in for a deep dive into how these profound teachings can transform your relationships and lead to the ultimate goal of the A Course in Miracles curriculum: forgiveness.
