    National Retreat Week 2026 - Facing our fears, with Pamela Brown-Peterside

    19/09/2026 | 12 mins.
    National Retreat Week – renew:all (19th -26th Sept 2026) is a call to be intentional about finding and setting time for retreat – alone or with others – whether during the week itself or at any time throughout the year. 
    In today's episode Pamela Brown-Peterside shares a reflection exploring how fear can hold us back from the life God desires for us — and how pausing, noticing, and naming our fears can begin to loosen their grip. Through gentle prompts and prayer, Pamela Brown-Peterside invites us to slow down, pay attention to what’s stirring within, and bring our fears into God’s presence. Pamela is an author and spiritual director with a background in public health.
