In this episode of Word First Radio, hosts Jacob O'Neill and Cameron reflect on their recent conversation with Karl Johan about the future of the church and the importance of community. They delve into the skepticism younger generations have towards organized religion and the cultural differences in religious practices between the United States and Norway. The discussion also touches on the challenges of viewing the gospel as good news and the conflict between Norwegian social values and Christian duties.

Are You A Charlotte?

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.
