Episode Highlights:
Parable of the Ten Virgins. Parable of the Talents. The Final Judgment.
"Therefore be alert, because you don’t know either the day or the hour." Matthew 25:13
In this episode, we delve into Matthew Chapter 25 and explore several parables and teachings of Jesus about the importance of readiness, wise stewardship, and the final judgment. We examine the Parable of the Ten Virgins to understand the critical need for spiritual preparedness, contrasting the wise virgins who were ready for the bridegroom with the foolish ones who were not. The Parable of the Talents teaches us about the responsibility and accountability in using our God-given gifts wisely, highlighting the consequences of our actions. The stark portrayal of the Final Judgment serves as a powerful reminder of the eternal implications of how we live our lives and treat others.
As we reflect, we draw three essential takeaways to enhance our walk with Christ. First, we recognize the necessity of being spiritually prepared at all times, fostering a lifestyle of prayer, reflection, and active faith. Secondly, we learn the importance of utilizing our unique talents for the glory of God and the betterment of those around us, ensuring that we are not only holders of gifts but active participants in God’s work. Lastly, we are reminded of the profound impact of our compassion and kindness towards others, especially the less fortunate, as true indicators of our faith in action. Each of these lessons encourages us to live more thoughtfully and purposefully in alignment with God’s will.

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.
