The Night Gratitude Saved My Life

Author: Jennifer Hadley November 25, 2025 Duration: 42:14
In this powerful Thanksgiving week episode, Jennifer Hadley explores ACIM Lesson 195, "Love is the way I walk in gratitude," revealing how gratitude transforms even our darkest moments. She shares a deeply personal story when heartbreak kept her awake all night and what she discovered. Through vulnerable revelations about her past struggles with murderous rage and revenge fantasies, Jennifer demonstrates how gratitude without comparison lifts us "above the battlefield" and why we cannot wish punishment on others without experiencing it ourselves in this time of "instant karma." She emphasizes that true gratitude makes no exceptions and recognizes our unity with all living things, teaching that when our forgiveness is complete, we'll see that everything has earned the right to love by being loving.

Jennifer Hadley hosts A Course in Miracles, a weekly conversation that explores the practical application of spiritual principles in daily life. This isn't a theoretical discussion; it's about the real, often messy work of aligning actions with deeply held beliefs when faced with traffic jams, difficult conversations, and personal doubts. Each episode offers a sense of companionship for anyone who has ever felt a gap between what they believe and how they manage to live it out in real time. Jennifer grounds the teachings in her own ongoing journey of transformation, sharing candid stories from her life that listeners often find mirrors their own struggles and aspirations. She regularly brings in guests who contribute their unique perspectives and experiences, creating a rich dialogue about moving from a place of internal suffering toward a more consistent experience of peace. The podcast serves as a supportive guide, breaking down how the core ideas of A Course in Miracles can directly influence our relationships, work, and inner world. Tuning in feels less like attending a lecture and more like joining a thoughtful, compassionate circle where the focus is on living the love we wish to see. It’s for those seeking tangible steps and heartfelt encouragement on a spiritual path, making profound concepts accessible and immediately relevant to the ordinary moments that make up our days.
