What to Do When You’re Afraid

What to Do When You’re Afraid

Author: Jennifer Hadley January 21, 2026 Duration: 54:20
What do you do when you can feel the pain of the whole world? In this episode, Jennifer Hadley shares what happened when she sat down to read the news and found herself crying — not from despair, but from feeling the collective fear, worry, and anxiety so many people are experiencing right now. This led her to one of the most powerful sections in A Course in Miracles: the Special Principles for Miracle Workers. Jennifer explores the difference between "pushing density" (trying to fix things in form) and "working in the invisible" (shifting consciousness at the level of the mind). She unpacks why responding to error with anything except a desire to heal keeps us trapped in confusion. And she reveals the one prayer that changed everything for her — the prayer she now calls her life's purpose. If you've been feeling overwhelmed by what's happening in the world, this ACIM teaching offers a different way through.

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.
