In The Nerdvana Experience Season 8, Episode 9, host Ken Ledesma and guest Calvin tackle listener questions with biblical insights. Calvin discusses natural beauty (Ezekiel 16:10-15), criticizing cultural distortions like BBLs and wigs; tithing (Malachi 3:8-10), arguing it’s crop-based, not weekly, and obsolete post-Christ; social media’s harmful influence (Ecclesiasticus 2:1), urging youth to reject fake standards; and Noah’s ark (Genesis 7:1-2), explaining seven clean animals were taken for post-flood diets. They critique celebrity scandals (Shannon Sharpe’s relationships, Antonio Brown’s allegations), Law & Order’s real-life inspirations, and societal issues like gender identity and hypersexuality, rejecting “gray areas” (Revelation 3:15-16). Calvin emphasizes scripture over worldly narratives, reflecting on his eight-year mentorship of Ken, and calls for embracing truth in a deceptive world.

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.
