Episode Highlights:
The Wedding Feast. The Greatest Commandment. The Resurrection Affirmed.
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and most important command. The second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself." Matthew 22:38-39
In this episode, we explore Matthew Chapter 22, where critical parables and teachings of Jesus are highlighted. We begin by delving into the Parable of the Wedding Feast, which illustrates the inclusive nature of God’s invitation to His kingdom. We're encouraged to recognize the implications of rejecting this call and the importance of being properly prepared through righteousness. As we move further, our understanding deepens with Jesus’ profound summary of the law through the Greatest Commandment, emphasizing the essential role of love in our relationship with God and others. We also tackle the challenging question about the resurrection posed by the Sadducees, which allows us to appreciate the scriptural basis and the powerful affirmation of life beyond death.
The takeaways from this chapter provide practical guidance for living out the teachings of Jesus in our daily lives. We are reminded of the universality of God’s invitation and encouraged to reflect this inclusivity in our own lives, perhaps by welcoming those who feel marginalized. The episode also brings to light the central nature of love in our faith, urging us to actively seek the good of others and deepen our love for God. Lastly, by affirming the reality of the resurrection, we are motivated to adopt an eternal perspective in our actions and interactions, promoting a life that truly reflects the values of the kingdom of heaven. Each of these insights not only enriches our understanding but also challenges us to transform this knowledge into action within our communities and personal lives.

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.
