Episodes

  1. What Am I Doing? | August 10, 2026 | Wisdom Dialogues @ Kehena Beach Estates

    Send us Fan Mail Jealousy hits, the mind starts building a case, and suddenly you are replaying texts like they are evidence. We start there, with a listener story about a turbulent connection that surfaces honesty, trust issues, manipulation fears, abandonment triggers, and that brutal question...

  2. Love's Guidance | August 3, 2026 | Wisdom Dialogues @ Kehena Beach

    Send us Fan Mail Guidance is supposed to make life simpler, so why does it so often feel like pressure to choose the perfect words and make the perfect move? I sit with a surprising realisation: the Holy Spirit doesn’t “do words” the way we think it does. The deeper guidance is wordless love, and...

  3. Let the Dream be Changeful | July 27, 2026 | Wisdom Dialogues @ Kehena Beach

    Send us Fan Mail Joy is not a reward for getting life “right” and it is the measurement. From Kehenna Beach Estates on the Big Island of Hawaii, I walk through a simple but demanding question: am I listening to the voice that frees me, or the voice that shames me? When you start using felt…

  4. Possession Fallacy | July 20, 2026 | Wisdom Dialogues @ Kehena Beach

    Send us Fan Mail The scariest kind of “possession” is the one that feels true. A spirit in your room, a craving you can’t stop, a partner who seems to control your mood, a memory that still runs your life. We start by challenging the assumption underneath all of it: the idea that anything outside...

  5. Boundaries, Intimacy & Oneness | July 13, 2026 | Wisdom Dialogues @ Kehena Beach

    Send us Fan Mail “If all is one, why would you need boundaries?” That question sounds holy until you test it against real life: your body gets tired, your time runs out, your nervous system flares, and someone’s “need” starts to feel like pressure. From Hawai‘i, we talk through the difference...

  6. Concern Makes Peace Conditional | June 6, 2026 | Wisdom Dialogues

    Send us Fan Mail Concern is one of the most socially approved forms of anxiety, and that’s exactly why it can be so hard to see. We talk about the moment “I’m just worried about you” stops being love and starts becoming pressure, projection, and control. When concern turns into rumination,...

  7. Interdependence | July 3, 2026 | Hawaiian Sanctuary

    Send us Fan Mail Independence sounds noble until you notice what it quietly implies: separation, competition, and a world full of threats. Hope Johnson takes that assumption head-on, using Independence Day as a doorway into a deeper spiritual idea of interdependence rooted in nonduality and the...

  8. Stop Trying to Change Anyone | Wisdom Dialogues at Kehena Beach, HI | June 29, 2026

    Send us Fan Mail The moment someone comes at you with blame, jealousy, or anger, your body wants to brace and your mind wants to build a case. We go straight into what happens when you do the opposite: stay open, drop the defense, and let compassion do the work. Laurie T. joins me to share what...

  9. Body is not Your Report Card | Wisdom Dialogues @ Kehena Beach, HI | June 22, 2026

    Send us Fan Mail Your body is not a problem to manage, and your mind is not here to run the show. We take on one of the most persistent spiritual myths: that if you just think “right” you can control habits, health, and outcomes. From an A Course in Miracles perspective, we explore why that…

    more

  10. Beyond Manipulation & Bypassing | June 15, 2026 | Wisdom Dialogues @ Kehena Beach, HI

    Send us Fan Mail What if the biggest source of stress isn’t the weather, your partner, or the latest text that hit your nervous system like a freight train, but the meaning your mind assigns to it? From the shores of Hawaii, I walk through a grounded A Course in Miracles approach to forgiveness...

  11. Acceptance: Form vs Experience | Wisdom Dialogues @ Kehena, HI | June 8, 2026

    Send us Fan Mail Trying to “accept everything” can sound holy, but it can also become a quiet form of self-attack. From Kehenna Beach Estates on Hawai‘i Island, I walk through a blunt, practical A Course in Miracles perspective: we are not asked to approve of war, sickness, aging, or death. The...

  12. Mercy Restores Vision | June 3, 2026 | A Course in Miracles Deep Dive | Chapter 3, Section 3, P.11 S.6 - P.13 S.3

    Send us Fan Mail Podcast Description What if the entire spiritual framework of guilt, payment, and sacrifice is based on a misunderstanding? In this ACIM Deep Dive, Hope Johnson explores one of the most radical teachings in A Course in Miracles: sacrifice is completely unknown to God. From there,...

  13. Grief is Not Proof of Loss | Wisdom Dialogues @ Kehena Beach, HI | June 1, 2026

    Send us Fan Mail Nothing real can be threatened. If you actually try to live that, it collides with everything the ego uses to scare us: job loss, rejection, politics, sickness, aging, and even death. From Hawaii, we sit with the central teaching of A Course in Miracles and ask a blunt question:...

  14. The Cosmic Ledger is Canceled | A Course in Miracles Deep Dive | May 27, 2026 | Ch 3, Sect 3, P.11, S2-S5

    Send us Fan Mail Support the show 🕊️ Go deeper with me Book a 1:1 Session 🌸 Give and Support my Ministry: Donate 📙 Read, Watch, or Listen Substack

  15. Peace is Proof | Wisdom Dialogues @ Lake Whatcom | May 10, 2026

    Send us Fan Mail You can spend years chasing “evidence” that you’re healed, loved, chosen, safe and still feel the same knot in your stomach. We take that knot seriously, but we stop taking the ego’s story seriously. From a Mother’s Day reflection on “mother energy,” we move into a practical...

  16. Seeing Through Innocence | A Course in Miracles Deep Dive | May 6, 2026 | Ch. 3, Sect. 3, P.10

    Send us Fan Mail If you have ever felt like pain makes you “better,” like sacrifice earns love, or like God must punish someone for the world to make sense, we take that belief apart from the inside. We are reading A Course in Miracles in the section “Atonement Without Sacrifice,” and we follow…

    more

  17. The Shock is The Opening | Wisdom Dialogues @ Lake Whatcom, WA | May 3, 2026

    Send us Fan Mail A single sentence changes how we interpret everything from traffic to trauma: nothing can threaten you. We start with a driving moment that could have turned into panic and anger, then slow it down until you can see the mechanics of the ego mind in real time: projection,...

  18. Truth Cannot Be Destroyed | A Course in Miracles Deep Dive | April 29, 2026 | Ch. 3, Sect. 3, P. 8, S.1 to P9, S6

    Send us Fan Mail Nothing shakes us faster than the feeling that something real just got threatened: our image, our relationships, our safety, our future. Today we take a single ACIM statement and push it all the way into lived experience: “The resurrection demonstrated that nothing can destroy...

  19. Choose Certainty Now | Wisdom Dialogues @ Lake Whatcom, WA | April 26, 2026

    Send us Fan Mail Your mind can turn anything into a fight for meaning, even the shape of the Earth. I start with big, attention grabbing topics like symbols, astrology, flat earth debates, and “are aliens real,” then bring it back to the only place change actually happens: the instant a thought...

  20. God Is Not a Symbol | A Course in Miracles Deep Dive | April 22, 2026 | Ch.3, Sect.3, P7, S1-9

    Send us Fan Mail If you’ve ever felt like spiritual growth requires suffering, this one will challenge that belief at the root. We’re deep in A Course in Miracles Chapter 3, “Sane Perception,” and we keep circling a single correction that changes everything: God does not demand sacrifice, and the...

  21. Seeing The Pattern Behind The Problem | Wisdom Dialogues @ Lake Whatcom, WA | April 12, 2026

    Send us Fan Mail A single tech support call turns into a surprisingly clear mirror: the moment I believe a goal has to be met for me to feel OK, my tone tightens, my mind starts fighting reality, and frustration feels “reasonable.” From there, we slow down and name what is really happening. The...

  22. Karma is Not of God | A Course in Miracles Deep Dive | April 8, 2026 | Ch:3, S:III, P.5, S1 to P.6, S.3

    Send us Fan Mail “Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord” might be one of the most fear-loaded lines people carry around, and we pull it apart carefully through A Course in Miracles. We’re in Chapter 3 on sane perception, Section 3 on atonement without sacrifice, and we stay with what the text…

    more

  23. Seeing Beyond Linearity | Wisdom Dialogues @ Lake Whatcom | April 5, 2026

    Send us Fan Mail A livestream cuts out, a glass suddenly splits in half, someone hears the word “cancer” from a doctor and the mind immediately tries to build a prison out of it. We sit with all of it and ask a sharper question: what if the disturbance isn’t the event, but the thought of…

    more

  24. Pain Has No Purpose | A Course in Miracles Deep Dive | Ch. 3, Pt. III, P:3, S:3 to P:4, S:6 | April 1, 2026

    Send us Fan Mail If you’ve ever tried to merge “God is love” with a story that treats suffering as holy, you’ve felt the mental strain we’re untangling today. We go line by line through A Course in Miracles (ACIM) in “Atonement Without Sacrifice,” exposing how the sacrifice interpretation of the...

  25. Rape Culture and Forgiveness | Wisdom Dialogues @ Lake Whatcom | March 29, 2026

    Send us Fan Mail “Forgive him” can sound holy while it quietly protects harm. From Lake Whatcom, Washington, we start with a real controversy in a spiritual community where forgiveness language gets used to pressure people who still feel traumatised, and we slow it all the way down. We talk about...

  26. Reframing the Crucifixion | A Course in Miracles Deep Dive | March 25, 2026 | Ch.2, Section III, P:2, S:1 to P:3, S:2

    Send us Fan Mail The crucifixion has been used for centuries as a lesson in sacrifice but what if that “lesson” is exactly what keeps us afraid of God? I take a close, line-by-line look at A Course in Miracles (Complete and Annotated Edition) and land on a simple correction: suffering is not...

  27. Sensuality | Wisdom Dialogues @ Lake Whatcom, WA | March 22, 2026

    Send us Fan Mail Sensuality is not what most people think it is. I’m talking about the raw, simple ability to feel what’s happening in your body without shame and without a story, because that felt sense is the fastest way I know to notice when you’re gripping a thought. When we grip thoughts, we...

  28. Atonement Without Sacrifice | A Course in Miracles Deep Dive | April 9, 2026 | Ch. 3, Part II, P:7, S:5 to Part II, P:1, S:4.

    Send us Fan Mail The fastest way to exhaust yourself on a spiritual path is to treat awakening like a deadline. I slow that whole momentum down by leaning into two lines from A Course in Miracles that completely change the feel of practice: time is under Jesus’ direction, and timelessness belongs...

  29. Every Trigger Is Love Choosing You | Wisdom Dialogues @ Lake Whatcom | March 15, 2026

    Send us Fan Mail Love is not a paycheck you earn, and peace is not a prize you win after someone finally says sorry. From Lake Whatcom, we walk straight into the heart of the “earn it” program and question the belief underneath it: that we have to prove our worth to receive love, safety, support…

    more

  30. Be of One Mind | March 11, 2026 | A Course in Miracles Deep Dive | Ch.3, Part II, P6, S7 to P7,S4

    Send us Fan Mail Two short lines from the Bible have carried centuries of argument, ritual, and longing. We slow them way down and let A Course in Miracles do what it does best: strip the surface meaning, return the cause to the mind, and reveal a practical path from conflict to peace. We explore...

  31. Relax Into Presence | Wisdom Dialogues @ Lake Whatcom | March 8, 2026

    Send us Fan Mail Relaxation sounds passive until you try it as a discipline. From the first minutes, we make the case that spirituality isn’t about becoming a better persona, it’s about relaxing into the presence you already are. When you soften the inner grip, desire stops feeling like a problem...

  32. Error Produces Nothing | 3/4/26 | A Course in Miracles Deep Dive | Chapter 3, Part II, P:4, S:4 to P6, S4

    Send us Fan Mail The mind loves to insist that what happened “out there” caused what we feel “in here” but ACIM turns that whole chain of causation upside down. From Lake Wacom in Washington, I walk slowly through A Course in Miracles, Chapter 3, Section 2 (Special Principles for Miracle Workers)...

  33. What If Every Relationship Is Already Complete? | 3/1/26 | Wisdom Dialogues at Lake Whatcom

    Send us Fan Mail Dating advice often sounds like a war plan: optimise your profile, control the outcome, secure the relationship, get the relief. We go the opposite direction. From the first minutes, we question the hidden belief driving so much modern romance: “When I finally find the right...

  34. Special Principles for Miracle Workers | 2/25/26 | A Course in Miracles Deep Dive | Chapter 3, Part II

    Send us Fan Mail Your mind keeps insisting there isn’t enough: not enough time, not enough space, not enough money, not enough safety. We slow that whole reflex down and look at a line from A Course in Miracles that cuts straight through it: “The miracle abolishes the need for lower order...

  35. Stop Trying to Fix | 2/22/26 | Wisdom Dialogues @ Lake Whatcom

    Send us Fan Mail You can feel unity and still hate what you’re feeling. That’s the tension we walk straight into, and then gently unwind, as we explore why the self-of-form you “made” is not bad, not broken, and not in the way. I talk with Natalie about the wanting self, repetitive thinking, and...

  36. Revelation Requires Preparation | A Course in Miracles Deep Dive | February 18, 2026

    Send us Fan Mail One ACIM line changes the whole direction of the journey: “The next step… does involve the direct approach to God Himself.” We take that sentence seriously and follow its implications all the way through. I’m reading from the Complete and Annotated Edition (2021), and Wayne and I...

  37. From Manipulation To Miracles: Choosing Vision Over Strategy | Wisdom Dialogues @ Lake Whatcom, WA | February 25, 2026

    Send us Fan Mail What if every trigger—family tensions, romantic chemistry, even a head cold—wasn’t a problem to fix but an invitation to wake up? Coming back from three lively weeks in Hawai‘i, I walked straight into a field of patterns: subtle manipulations, the rush of attraction, and a…

    more

  38. How Relationship Reveals The Self We Hide | Wisdom Dialogues @ HPP, Hawaii | February 2, 2026

    Send us Fan Mail You can feel it when it happens: the tiny flinch, the breath you forget to take, the story you tell so you won’t have to say the truth. That’s the moment the pattern takes the wheel. We dig into those moments and show how relationships—romantic, friends, family, even money—are...

  39. You Already Have What You Seek | Wisdom Dialogues @ Lea's in Kapoho | February 2, 2026

    Send us Fan Mail What if the joy you’re chasing is already here, waiting beneath a few stubborn stories and a shallow breath? We explore how desire isn’t the enemy but a faithful pointer to your one true longing and how relaxing into an even, present breath can unravel fear, scarcity, and the…

    more

  40. Direct to God | ACIM Deep Dive — Chapter 3, Section I Paragraph 6 (Sentences 1–4) + Footnotes 11 & 12 ! January 21, 2026

    Send us Fan Mail Ready for a pivot that changes how you relate to God, Jesus, and your own mind? We unpack why A Course in Miracles starts by training perception before speaking directly about God—and how that protects us from turning the divine into another ego defense. We explore the...

  41. Thought Watching | Wisdom Dialogues @ Lake Whatcom, WA | January 18, 2026

    Send us Fan Mail Ever feel like your mind is running a loop you didn’t sign up for—catastrophizing, chasing intensity, or quietly agreeing with stories about scarcity and safety? We pull that thread all the way through: from thought to feeling to perception, showing how unwatched narratives put…

    more

  42. Body As A Device, Mind As Cause | A Course In Miracles Deep Dive | Chapter 3 · Section I · Paragraph 4 · Sentence 4 to Paragraph 5, Sentence 3 | January 14, 2025

    Send us Fan Mail Ever notice how quickly we blame our bodies for our feelings? We dig into A Course in Miracles’ bold reminder that mind is cause and the body is a neutral device for learning and communication. By returning cause to thought, we dissolve the exhausting loop where symptoms,...

  43. From Tolerance to Truth | Wisdom Dialogues @ Lake Whatcom, WA | January 11, 2026

    Send us Fan Mail What if “being loving” has nothing to do with endurance—and everything to do with clarity? We dig into the sneaky ways tolerance masquerades as compassion, how that keeps cycles of disrespect alive, and why admitting “I had an experience of cruelty” is the key that unlocks…

  44. What Causes Strain | A Course in Miracles Deep Dive @ Lake Whatcom, WA | January 7, 2026

    Send us Fan Mail Summary of Cameo 14 & Cameo 9, Chapter 3, Part I, Paragraph 4, Sentence 2 & 3 | Summary of Key Points in Chapters 1 and 2 A tiny, unwatched fear can hijack a whole day. We trace ACIM’s chain of miscreation from its first faint flicker—what Jesus calls a “will-o’-the-wisp”—through...

  45. Grief, Fantasy, And Letting Go | Wisdom Dialogues | January 4, 2026

    Send us Fan Mail Grief doesn’t start with a story—it starts as a feeling that we rush to explain. From three quiet days of no notifications to a New Year’s dance-floor synchronicity, we unpack how loss, sweetness, envy, and scarcity rise first, and how the mind stitches them to convenient...

  46. Behavior-Will Conflict | A Course in Miracles Deep Dive @ Lake Whatcom, WA | December 31, 2025

    Send us Fan Mail Ever act from your heart and still feel torn inside? We unpack a core ACIM insight: behavior–will conflict. The twist isn’t moral—your true will already aligns with peace. The friction comes from mistaking ego preferences for what you actually want. That misrecognition creates...

  47. Hooks And Holy Relationships | Wisdom Dialogues @ Lake Whatcom, WA | December 28, 2025

    Send us Fan Mail What if the “demons” you glimpse in the corner of your eye are just repetitive attack thoughts asking to be seen? This conversation travels from a quiet lakeside room to the most charged places in the heart, showing how relationships mirror our unwatched mind and how real peace...

  48. Sane Perception: When Confusion is Really Unwillingness to See | ACIM Deep Dive @ Lake Whatcom, WA | December 24, 2025

    Send us Fan Mail What if the moments you call “confusion” are actually choices that keep you small? We dive into Chapter Three’s teaching on sane perception and uncover how the ego turns “I don’t get it” into a shield against growth. Rather than treating study as strain, we frame it as mind...

  49. Sane Perception, Real Freedom | A Course in Miracles Deep Dive | Lake Whatcom, WA | December 21, 2025

    Send us Fan Mail What if the simplest habit—assigning yourself a daily study period—could collapse years of recurring patterns? We dive into Chapter 3 of A Course in Miracles, “Sane Perception,” and explore how attention, curiosity, and willingness retrain the mind at the level where problems...

  50. If Nothing Here Is Real, What Makes You Whole? | Wisdom Dialogues @ Bellingham Washington | December 14, 2025

    Send us Fan Mail Start with still water, end with laughter. Across two rich hours, we question what productivity even means and swap the hustle for miracle-mindedness: seeing thoughts arise, letting feelings be felt, and choosing the peace of God right now. I share how supply shows up when we…
