Season 9 — Dressing for Battle: Gospel Armor for the Fight of Faith
Episode 5 — Put on the Breastplate of Righteousness
Brian Hedges emphasizes that the breastplate signifies practical, Spirit-empowered holiness—not self-righteousness but pursuing godly living rooted in the imputed righteousness of Christ. He explains that while justification (positional righteousness) forms the foundation, the breastplate represents a call to active obedience and sanctification (practical righteousness), protecting our inner being in spiritual warfare. He also gives five things we need to do to put on the breastplate of righteousness. Outline:
(4:44) 1. What Is It?
(15:38) 2. Why Do We Need It?
(25:49) 3. How Do We Put It On?

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.
