In this powerful and layered episode, we welcomed special guest Calvin to the Village for a deep dive into some of today’s most controversial topics. We unpacked the world of Red Pill content and the performative nature of alpha male culture, exposing toxic narratives and challenging their influence. The crew also took time to define what it really means to "agree to disagree", and how that phrase doesn't make sense—or dodge accountability.
Calvin brought spiritual heat, guiding a discussion on five keys to understanding the Bible, the history of enslavement, and the need to prove what you believe in with more than just emotion. He even went into scripture to support his points, exploring the origin of speaking in tongues and sharing insight on the true beauty of Israel’s women.
We closed the episode with the always-authentic Open Mic Q&A, letting the Village chime in with thoughts, questions, and reflections. This one had a little bit of everything—culture, controversy, and conviction

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.
