·52 min·4 clips

Jennifer sees her younger selves clutching a vow: 'I will never forgive you.'

1. Miracle Voices - A Course In Miracles Podcast (ACIM) centers this episode on Jennifer Hadley's buried grievance and forgiveness work with her father. 2. Host Matthew McCabe and co-host Tam Morgan interview Jennifer Hadley, a minister from the Agape community in Los Angeles who teaches A Course in Miracles. 3. The episode asks what happens when a long-held grievance surfaces during winter caregiving and has to be released through prayer. 4. Jennifer says she spent about nine years in Agape, Science of Mind, practitioner training, and ministerial school before picking up A Course in Miracles in 2006. 5. She names Gary Renard's Disappearance of the Universe as the book that helped her move from curiosity into study. 6. She says she started doing the workbook lessons and then launched a study group within weeks because she wanted to talk about the material all the time. 7. Jennifer explains that her practice formed around nonviolence, Gandhi, King, and Jesus, with a daily focus on choosing the loving response. 8. She says the episode's turning point came while caring for her mother, who had terminal cancer and lived for three years after the diagnosis. 9. She describes staying with her parents on an island off the coast of Maine during winter and losing patience with her father while trying to be helpful. 10. She says she would get down on her knees and repeat, 'These are not my thoughts,' while asking the Holy Spirit to remove judgment, negativity, and attack thoughts. 11. Jennifer says her breakthrough came on a walk to a stone quarry in the snow after an upset with her father. 12. She says she prayed to Archangel Michael, Gabriela, Raphael, Jesus, Mary, Sananda, Lady Nada, Buddha, Maitreya, and other helpers for maximum assistance. 13. She describes seeing little versions of herself from ages three through sixteen standing with clenched fists and declaring, 'I will never forgive you.' 14. She says the hidden pattern was revenge, because her younger self had learned to answer 'There's no reason for you to be upset' with more force. 15. Jennifer says the release worked when she told those inner children that they really wanted perfect love, not revenge. 16. She says she collected the grievances, put them into the ground, and later got a sign when her father told her the problem was completely over. 17. Jennifer and Matthew both frame the story as a practical example of how forgiveness can happen without full intellectual understanding. 18. The conversation stays reflective and conversational, with Tam Morgan and Matthew McCabe prompting examples, humor, and Course references. 19. People who practice A Course in Miracles, forgiveness work, or inner-child healing would likely value this episode. 20. Listeners wanting light spiritual chat without personal testimony may skip it.
