In this episode of the Youth Ministry Podcast, we discuss the importance of vulnerability in youth ministry with youth ministry vet, Doug Franklin. We explore how sharing personal stories can create deeper connections with students, foster an environment of authenticity, and help teach about God's grace. The conversation emphasizes the need for volunteers to be open about their own struggles and experiences to guide students in their faith journey. Practical tips for engaging students and fostering forgiveness are also shared, along with encouragement for volunteers to rely on God's grace in their own lives.

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.
