In today's world, fear and division dominate the headlines, from climate change and war in Gaza to political instability and economic uncertainty. However, amidst these challenges, there is hope. In this episode of Church of the Oak, Charlie, a Christopagan Druid and priest of Brigid, discusses how we can rise above fear by building each other up and finding strength in faith, compassion, and action.

Through the lens of Creation Spirituality and Druidry, Charlie emphasizes the importance of addressing the real fears that divide people and the systems of control profiting from this division. Compassion, patience, and genuine understanding are key to guiding others away from misinformation and fear, and toward a future rooted in justice, peace, and community.

While it may be slow and challenging work, Charlie reminds listeners that we have the power to tap into the "One Life" and the "Awen," sources of wisdom and strength. Together, through acts of compassion, mindfulness, and addressing others' concerns, we can transform our world, building a brighter and more just future for all.

Listen in for an inspiring message on how to embrace faith in action, challenge the status quo, and become part of the change we wish to see.
