What does it really mean to preach the gospel? In this video, I explore the ache to explain God—and the peace that comes when we no longer need to. Drawing from personal experience, A Course in Miracles, the Bible, and the Tao Te Ching, I reflect on how the gospel is not something we proclaim with pressure, but something we embody with presence.

Lesson 37"²Your purpose is to see the world through your own holiness. ³Thus are you and the world blessed together. ⁴No one loses; nothing is taken away from anyone; everyone gains through your holy vision. …2. There is no other way in which the idea of sacrifice can be removed from the world’s thinking. ²Any other way of seeing will inevitably demand payment of someone or something. ³As a result, the perceiver will lose. ⁴Nor will he have any idea why he is losing.⁶Your holiness blesses him by asking nothing of him. ⁷Those who see themselves as whole make no demands.3. Your holiness is the salvation of the world. ²It lets you teach the world that it is one with you, not by preaching to it, not by telling it anything, but merely by your quiet recognition that in your holiness are all things blessed along with you" (ACIM, W-37.1:2–3:2).Ch. 6 Sec. 3 Par 1"⁶Your Godlike mind can never be defiled. ⁷The ego never was and never will be part of it, but through the ego you can hear and teach and learn what is not true. ⁸You have taught yourself to believe that you are not what you are. ⁹You cannot teach what you have not learned, and what you teach you strengthen in yourself because you are sharing it. ¹⁰Every lesson you teach you are learning.2. That is why you must teach only one lesson. ²If you are to be conflict-free yourself, you must learn only from the Holy Spirit and teach only by Him. ³You are only love, but when you deny this, you make what you are something you must learn to remember. ⁴I said before that the message of the crucifixion was, “Teach only love, for that is what you are.” ⁵This is the one lesson that is perfectly unified, because it is the only lesson that is one. ⁶Only by teaching it can you learn it.⁷“As you teach so will you learn.” ⁸If that is true, and it is true indeed, do not forget that what you teach is teaching you.⁹And what you project or extend you believe.3. The only safety lies in extending the Holy Spirit, because as you see His gentleness in others your own mind perceives itself as totally harmless. ²Once it can accept this fully, it sees no need to protect itself. ³The protection of God then dawns upon it, assuring it that it is perfectly safe forever. ⁴The perfectly safe are wholly benign. ⁵They bless because they know that they are blessed" (ACIM, T-6.III.1:6–3:5).Ch. 9 Sec. 3 Par. 6"You cannot correct yourself. ²Is it possible, then, for you to correct another? ³Yet you can see him truly, because it is possible for you to see yourself truly. ⁴It is not up to you to change your brother, but merely to accept him as he is. ⁵His errors do not come from the truth that is in him, and only this truth is yours.⁶His errors cannot change this, and can have no effect at all on the truth in you. ⁷To perceive errors in anyone, and to react to them as if they were real, is to make them real to you. ⁸You will not escape paying the price for this, not because you are being punished for it, but because you are following the wrong guide and will therefore lose your way" (ACIM, T-9.III.6:1-8).Principle 18:"A miracle is a service. ²It is the maximal service you can render to another. ³It is a way of loving your neighbor as yourself. ⁴You recognize your own and your neighbor’s worth simultaneously" (ACIM, T-1.I.18:1-4).
