What would it feel like to be reunited with your biological birth mother for the first time on national television? That’s exactly what happened to Sam Collier the Lead Pastor of Hillsong Atlanta. Today on BraveMen Ps. Sam shares the remarkable story of his life’s journey from orphan to nationally recognized Christian leader. His dramatic testimony is also the subject of his best-selling book “A Greater Story”. Twins Sam and Sara Collier were given up for adoption when they were newborns and were adopted by Belinda and Lamar Collier of Decatur. The siblings wrote into the “Steve Harvey” show to ask for help in finding their biological mother. Unbeknownst to Sam and Sara, Harvey was able to track down their biological mom, as well as their three siblings. Sam has strong views on current events and is a recognized faith thought leader. Sam is also the founder of A Greater Story Ministries which houses a nationally televised interview series and podcast called “A Greater Story with Sam Collier”. He lives with his wife and co-pastor, Toni, and their daughter in Atlanta, Georgia.

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.
