It's your Early what He Praise Party. I am shrring
Mackie along with my co host James Fortune. Yes, and
it's time for your word for today and James Fortune
has a word.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Oh yes. We've been talking about being grateful of course
this Thanksgiving week and having gratitude one of my favorite scriptures.
Of course a lot of people we say it all
the time, especially my worship leaders. So I'm thirty four
to one. I will bless the Lord at all times,
and this praise shall continually be in my mouth. That's
how you know you're grateful when you can give thanks
and everything, when you can praise God in spite of

(00:32):
There's a difference between being thankful and living thankful. See,
gratitude is more than just a feeling. It's an atmosphere
that you can actually create. You may not always feel thankful,
but you can create that atmosphere by giving God praise.
David said, I'm a blessed Lord at all times, which
means gratitude is not about your mood, family, It's about
a mindset. It's a mindset that says I will bless

(00:53):
the Lord regardless, not I feel like it, not I
want to, but I will in spite of you're choosing
praise overpower. Me. People pout when things don't go their way,
but instead you should praise God and it'll shift the
entire climate around you. See, negativity can't breathe where gratitude lives.
When your words change, your world changes. Your declaration determines

(01:13):
your direction. What are you saying that's going to determine
the direction that your life is going to go. Where
the focus goes, the power flows. So make sure that
you're giving words of praise, not words of pouting, not
words of complaining, not words of frustration. Yes, we can
get frustrated, but life and death is in the power
of your tongue. Even if you think it. Make sure
you bring those thoughts under subjection and speak and say,

(01:34):
you know what, I'm gonna be like David, I don't
like this situation, but I'm going to still bless the Lord.
Sometimes the miracle isn't God changing the situation, it's God
changing your spirit in the midst of the situation. A
thankful person can walk into chaos and still be calm
and this will want to say, this is what I'm
and this is what I want to say. Is I
close Gratitude doesn't just change the room. Gratitude actually becomes

(01:57):
the room. You can change the atmosphere by just being grateful.
Come last one. Yes, gratitude doesn't just change the room,
it becomes the room. That when you can be grateful
in the room, we're speaking in the rooms. It's just
say it in the room. It becomes the room and
everything that flows with it. So, yeah, that's the that's
the that's the mic drop line right.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
That's the mic drop line right there in the room.
How about that's your word for today's the Bunny Praise Party.
I am Sherry.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
