What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

If you are looking for direct, authentic, always-based-upon the-actual-course* answers to the challenges you face in your life, then you have found your new source: Robert & Emily Perry. They are refreshing! Honest. Share their own struggles. Admit when they don’t know and/or the course does not address a topic. Robert, having edited the CE course edition, knows the course inside out and backwards. And he lives the humble that the course teaches. Emily says what the challenging voice in my head often wonders. Perfectly paired are they! Fortunate are we who find their simple path through all things course related. * (from Helen’s handwritten notes…later edited into the “complete & annotated” or CE version)

Carolyn the traveler · Jul 2026

I’ve found this podcast and all of the Circle of Atonement resources to be the most illuminating and resonating because it refers to The Course in every point for clarification and avoids purely personal speculation. I feel confident when I’m listening that the content of the Course is being prioritized in its authenticity, which is so important to me as a student. Also Robert and Emily’s dynamic is engaging and inspiring in an of itself. They have such a respect and value for each other that’s apparent and shines in the conversations, acting as an example we can aspire to or learn from ourselves in relating. It’s clear how much the Course truly means to them in their lives and in their relationship, which to me is a mark of integrity that I want to see in my teachers. Thank you so much for being yourselves and skillfully bringing the Course’s teachings into our lives in an understandable, relatable way. Love!! <3

SerenityJLee · Mar 2026

I had been studying A Course in Miracles on my own since 1999. For years, I wrestled with the text, drawn to its depth but often unsure whether I was truly understanding. Discovering this podcast was like turning on a light in a dark room. Through their careful, disciplined approach, Robert Perry and Emily Bennington crystallize the Course’s philosophy in a way that feels accessible. They walk directly through the language, sentence by sentence, clarifying context, intent, and structure. Complex passages become coherent. Dense ideas become navigable. What sets this podcast apart is its commitment to the Course itself. Robert and Emily continually return to the actual wording, helping listeners see what is truly there. The result is a grounded, text-based understanding that builds confidence and depth over time. For anyone who has studied alone and longed for clear, faithful guidance through the material, this podcast provides it. It has significantly sharpened my comprehension and strengthened my engagement with the Course. It also led me to join their deeper dive, of Course Companions which has made all the difference in the world for me, literally and figuratively:)

There are no words adequate enough to express how thankful I am for both of you. EVERYTHING you two speak of resonates in my heart as pure truth and the greatest of spiritual blessings for myself and my family! God has surely showed Himself to you both🙏🏻❤️🤗

Xxxddsrgefv · May 2025

I was excited to find this podcast until it was very quickly revealed that this is a Jesus version of a course in miracles. Of course in miracles is open to all higher powers so I found this podcast to be offensive. I’m looking for a podcast that studies the course of miracles as it is presented originally not with a Jesus spin.
