Have you ever wondered if your voice really matters? In a culture full of noise and distraction, it can feel easier to stay silent. But what if your voice is the very tool God wants to use to bring light into the darkness?
In this powerful episode of the Messenger Movement Podcast, Tamra Andress shares why your microphone—whether it’s a literal mic, your social media platform, or the conversations you have every day—is your machete. It’s your weapon to cut through lies, fear, and spiritual opposition with the truth of the Gospel.
Drawing from the lives of Malachi, John the Baptist, Paul, and modern-day messengers of faith, Tamra unpacks what it means to step into your role as a messenger. You’ll discover how God uses your story—even the messy parts—to bring hope to others, and why being a servant always comes before being a messenger.
This isn’t just about preaching on a stage or hosting a podcast. It’s about living your message in everyday moments, and realizing you’ve been called for such a time as this.

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.
