What is the “desired path” you’re on? Have you analyzed how Jesus, the “Hodos”, is reflected in your Exodus story? We explore this and a psychological phenomenon known as as affective forecasting, and Bible line items that pull all this together for our edification. Join us as we Journey into Jesus being the way for our life.
Key Takeaways: 1. Affective Forecasting: We often mispredict our future emotions, thinking external achievements will bring lasting happiness. 2. The Vacuum Effect: Achieving a goal can lead to feelings of emptiness and loss if not prepared for. 3. Narrow Path: Following Jesus requires submission, sacrifice, and trust, but leads to eternal life. 4. Desired Paths: We create our own paths in life, but Jesus offers the path to salvation and eternal 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.
