Episode Highlights:
The Lord of the Sabbath. Unity in Belief. Looking for Signs.
"Knowing their thoughts, he told them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is headed for destruction, and no city or house divided against itself will stand." Matthew 12:25
In this episode, we dive deep into Matthew Chapter 12, a pivotal chapter that showcases Jesus' profound teachings and the conflicts that arise around them. We start by exploring the meaning of the Sabbath as Jesus confronts and challenges the traditional interpretations held by the Pharisees. This discussion opens up an important conversation about the true purpose of God's laws—emphasizing mercy and human need over rigid observance. We witness Jesus navigating criticism with wisdom and authority, setting the stage for a powerful lesson on the essence of divine law and its role in our lives.
As we move further into the chapter, we're confronted with the stark imagery of unity and division that Jesus presents. Pay close attention as we unpack the parable of the kingdom divided against itself and reflect on its implications for our own communities and spiritual lives. The episode culminates with the intriguing Sign of Jonah, where Jesus hints at His own resurrection through the story of the prophet Jonah. Together, we'll navigate these complex narratives, uncovering the layers of meaning and examining how these teachings can resonate in our own journey of faith and community building. Join us as we delve into these dynamic discussions, enhancing our understanding and strengthening our spiritual foundations.

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.
