In this episode of _Creation's Paths_, Charlie and Brian, Christopagan Druids, discuss hope and resilience amid challenging current events in the United States. They reflect on how individuals can navigate feelings of betrayal, societal division, and collective fear by choosing hope, not as a feeling but as an active choice and commitment to positive change. They emphasize building better communities, bridging divides, and challenging the dominant culture of fear and anger that influences public discourse. Citing examples from LGBTQ+ rights, personal relationships, and Christian teachings, they highlight the importance of nonviolent resistance and speaking to the emotions of others rather than solely relying on facts and figures. They conclude with a prayer to Mary, asking for her strength and faith in the face of hardship.
