Episode Highlights:
The Sanctity of Marriage. Blessing the Children. The Rich Young Ruler.
Jesus said, “Leave the little children alone, and don’t try to keep them from coming to me, because the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Matthew 19:14
In this episode, we explore Matthew Chapter 19, exploring critical teachings of Jesus on marriage, children, and wealth. We focus on key elements such as the sanctity and permanence of marriage as Jesus addresses the Pharisees' challenging questions on divorce, highlighting how our relationships should reflect God's original intention for unity and lifelong commitment. We also witness Jesus embracing little children, teaching us the importance of humility and openness in receiving the kingdom of heaven, and challenging our perceptions of value and worth. The encounter with the rich young ruler further probes the tension between earthly wealth and spiritual riches, urging us to consider what we might be holding onto that could hinder our full commitment to following Christ.
Through our reflections on these passages, we glean profound insights and encouragement for our spiritual journey. The unwavering truth of marriage calls us to honor and cherish our relationships more deeply, aligning them with divine principles. In embracing childlike faith, we're invited to renew our trust and wonder in our walk with God, stripping away cynicism. The discussion around the rich young ruler reminds us of the cost of discipleship, challenging us to evaluate our priorities and the place of material possessions in our lives. Each of these teachings encourages us to pursue a deeper, more meaningful relationship with Christ, reshaping our actions and decisions in the light of His teachings.

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.
