In this episode of Scripture in Black and White, hosts Anthony, Bobby and Michelle dive into the topic of identity from a scriptural perspective. They acknowledge the importance of having a Christian identity in the current society full of ambiguity. They also discuss the impact of culture and societal expectation on one's identity illustrated through the story of Moses from the Book of Exodus. Joined by Michelle Eagle, one of the discipleship ministers at Harpeth Christian Church, they share insights on the dynamic of identity in light of both gender and race, as well as the struggles individuals face regarding their sense of self. The conversation will seek to highlight how grounding ourselves in who God says we are can provide the stability and clarity we need, bringing stability where identity is often a moving target.

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.
