Jesus tells us that worldly riches don’t ensure heavenly happiness. He reminds us that our success cannot be measured by the abundance of our possessions, that building bigger barns to store more stuff won’t ensure happiness, and worldly wealth won’t impress God or gain us a place in the kingdom of heaven. So, what does make us right with God? Saint Paul advises us to seek the things that are above, not the things of this earth. That’s good advice, but how do we follow that in a world that values a different message?

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.
