I used to be one of those people who tried to convince everyone around me to “get spiritual.”
I’d recommend books to my family.
I’d share teachings with friends who weren’t interested.
I’d try to get my coworkers to listen to podcasts about consciousness.
It was exhausting.
And it wasn’t working.
Here’s what made a difference for me: I stopped trying to convert the people in my life and started asking Spirit for a powerful community that shared my interests.
And that’s exactly what I got.
Instead of trying to convince friends and family members that they should do this spiritual work—instead of coming at people with “Their life would be so much better if they could see what I see”—I started joyfully living the Love.
And then something beautiful happened.
People started asking.
“So what is that thing you’re doing?”
I remember when my brother had kidney stones years ago. He doesn’t believe in God, so I asked, “Would you like me to pray about this?”
He said yes.
I prayed, and the kidney stones and pain stopped immediately.
I didn’t have the power to dissolve kidney stones. But I have access to the One Who does. We all do.
That’s when my brother said, “So what is it you believe about God?”
Spirit opened the door.
Not my preaching. Not my pushing. Not my trying to convince him.
The demonstration opened the door.
A Course in Miracles teaches us that “Prayer is the medium of miracles.” And I’ve learned this is absolutely true.
The most powerful aspect of our spiritual community isn’t the teaching. It’s the comradeship.
The prayer partners. The small groups. The support. The tremendous love and friendships that people develop for each other.
In Masterful Living, people come from all over the world—every continent, it seems—to share and practice these principles together. And because we’re broadcasting this constantly, because we’re living it together, people in our lives naturally become curious.
We don’t have to tell everybody what we’re doing. We become living demonstrations.
When we seek NOT to change the world, but to change our minds about the world, then we can be truly helpful.
And here’s the really powerful part: When we do this spiritual work together, we create what I call a vortex of energy that inspires people to finally give up clinging to their attachments that cause their pain and suffering.
It’s such a deep and powerful practice that it requires tremendous support. But when we have that support, people experience much quicker success than they ever could alone.
Because in spiritual community, everyone who participates fully has to give up:
-
Hiding
-
Feeling ashamed
-
Feeling unworthy
-
The patterns of lack, attack, limitation and separation
in order to really experience the healing.
This isn’t about studying more books or collecting more information. This is about embodying these teachings, walking in the world as living demonstrations of Love.
I’ve seen people find relief from chronic physical pain, chronic illness, and chronic depression through the spiritual practices we do together. Not because I have special powers, but because we’re all perfectly designed to represent the One Who sent us.
And we bear witness to the innocence in each other. We support each other in remembering who we really are.
All of the causes of suffering are things we’ve made up—whether we’re conscious of them or not. And they can be dissolved and resolved permanently when we have the support of true spiritual community.

LATEST ACIM PODCAST EPISODE: Accountability Is My Power Tool.
In this episode, I explore a word that doesn’t even appear in A Course in Miracles — accountability — and uncover its surprising connection to what the Course calls the second characteristic of God’s teachers. I share why most of us are already consistent… just in the wrong direction. And I reveal the three-legged stool that transformed my practice from oscillating chaos to grounded peace.
I get honest about years of being “consistent in judging, attacking, complaining, worrying” and what finally shifted. I tell the story of Susie’s birthday party — and the meaning I made for years that turned out to be completely wrong. Plus, a real-time demonstration of what it looks like to feel invulnerable when life throws a curveball.
If you’ve ever felt knocked off balance by the “windstorm” of life, there’s a better way.
