• In the months leading up to his death, Charlie Kirk began expressing a deep curiosity about Catholicism—especially its intellectual coherence and moral authority in a confused culture.
• Friends and collaborators, including Candace Owens and Bishop Josepk Brennan of Fresno, CA, observed his shift toward a more sacramental and historic understanding of Christianity.
• Charlie reportedly attended several Catholic events and read Church history, showing particular interest in the unity of faith and reason.
• Around the same time, he began questioning his earlier support of political Zionism, distinguishing between biblical Israel and the modern Israeli state.
• This parallel "conversion" revealed a search for universal truth rather than partisan ideology.
• Patrick Coffin argues that these two developments—his theological awakening and his rejection of ideological nationalism—stemmed from the same root: a desire for transcendent order grounded in Christ and the Catholic faith.

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.
