Saying "Yes" When God Calls

When God calls, what do you do? In this special episode, we shed light on this age-old question through the story of Emily Perry’s own journey. We follow her from corporate girl to entrepreneur teaching mindful leadership and women’s leadership, to Course in Miracles author, to executive director of one of the oldest Course organizations. As Robert interviews her, we see Emily’s career riding the wave of the popularity of mindfulness until God suddenly seems to call her in a dramatic and persistent way. Learn what she did in response to that call and the difference her decision has made. And hear her and Robert discuss the takeaways this story has for the rest of us. For as A Course in Miracles says, “All are called, but few choose to listen.”
