This special Living in the Spirit episode explores the spiritual meaning behind the nationwide economic and labor boycott scheduled for November 25–December 2. The host explains that boycotts have always been part of faith-led justice movements, from the Exodus to the Civil Rights era. The episode frames the boycott as a form of spiritual discipline, aligning economic choices with God’s call for justice.
Listeners learn the goals of the boycott—challenging unjust labor practices, confronting economic inequality, and supporting workers’ dignity. Practical guidance is provided on participating in the boycott through reduced spending, supporting local and minority-owned businesses, engaging in prayer, and practicing economic Sabbath.
Grounded in Isaiah 58 and other justice-focused scriptures, the episode encourages believers to see this action as holy work: a collective fast from exploitation and a prophetic stand for fairness, compassion, and equity. The episode closes with a prayer for strength, unity, and Spirit-led justice.

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.
