Today we come to Samson, the last judge chronicled in the book of Judges. Samson was a he-man with a she weakness. Samson is probably the most well-known of all the Judges & yet he is the least heroic, least obedient, & least commendable. Samson is far from a paragon of virtue & so his judgeship demonstrates the sad state of affairs when everyone does what is right in their own eyes. In Judges, it becomes hard to find a hero among the zeros. Samson for the most part is a zero, but within the Samson story, there is a hero. That hero is God. For even in the dark days of judges, even when Samson is largely a disgrace, God’s grace is still present, lavish, & triumphant.

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.
