Who is near you? In this episode, we explore the concept of small acts of kindness and radical generosity, and how they can have a profound impact on those around us. We discuss how small efforts and gestures can bring Heaven to Earth and demonstrate God's love and compassion.
Key Points: • Small acts of kindness can make a significant difference in someone's life. • Obedience in the moment is crucial in showing kindness and generosity. • Jesus emphasizes the importance of welcoming others and showing kindness, even in small ways. • By expressing God's love through small acts of kindness, we become the extension of God's glory and build relationships that draw people into the body of God References: • Matthew 22:37-40 (NIV) - Jesus' teaching on loving God and loving our neighbors • Acts 9:36 (NIV) - Tabitha's charitable acts • Matthew 10:38-42 (NIV) - Jesus' teaching on welcoming others and showing kindness • Acts 2:44-45, 4:32-37 - The early Christians' sharing of resources • 1 Kings 17:8-16 - The widow's kindness to Elijah Quote: "The only way Hell wins, is when Heaven hides." - Unknown Quote: "Do your little bit of good where you are; it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world." - Archbishop Desmond Tutu Call to Action: Reflect on how God's kindness has impacted your life, and consider how your obedience can bring kindness and generosity to someone else. Be the grain that tips the scale and allows God's love to pour into someone's life.

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.
