Gentlemen, Holy Saturday is upon us. A solemn pause before the joy of Easter. In Day 40 of our Lenten journey with St. Joseph, we confront the weight of Christ’s sacrifice in sacred silence. I challenge you to join me for 12 minutes of reflection, honoring the 12 tribes and disciples, to ponder what Jesus did for you on the cross. He died for your sins—feel that truth today. No Mass, just waiting, fasting, and prayer as we anticipate His resurrection. I also share why silence is vital in our noisy world, drawing from Cardinal Sarah’s The Power of Silence. This episode is your chance to go deep, to be still, and to prepare your heart for tomorrow. Hit play, embrace the silence, and let’s finish Lent strong. 

Be a saint.

Are You A Charlotte?

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.
