In this episode, we sit down with Pastor Paul Mather, Lead Pastor of New Life Church in Elmira, NY, and a lifelong resident of the community. Having lived here for the past 29 years, Pastor Paul understands the real struggles of the people he ministers to.
With a deep passion for those society often overlooks, Pastor Paul shares how consistent presence, practical provision, and unwavering love can transform a neighborhood. From handing out meals to offering hope, his ministry is a living picture of the Gospel at work on the ground. His life and leadership model the truth that inner-city ministry isn’t flashy—but it is faithful.
If you’ve ever wondered how the church can truly serve its community, this conversation is for you.

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.
