Join host Nate on Ask a Christian Podcast as he tackles why people "mess up" baptism – is it essential for salvation, or just a symbolic act? With some self-deprecating humor about his caffeine-fueled disorganization (blame the dentist appointment!), Nate dives into Acts 2, 8, 9, 10, and Matthew 28, arguing forgiveness comes through faith in Jesus, not water. He calls out traditions over Scripture and dismisses Peter as pope. The chat evolves into a heated debate: Is lying always a sin, even to save lives like Rahab did? Plus, unpacking Sabbath laws in Numbers 15 – was that stick-gatherer just defiant, or is there more to "doing good"? Perfect for seekers questioning faith, salvation, and ethics. Don't miss this raw, Bible-focused discussion!

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.
