Amanda Hummer returns to the podcast to share her perspective on Catholicism. Raised in the Catholic Church, Amanda eventually stepped away, seeking truth in New Age spirituality for many years—until she had a radical encounter with Jesus that changed everything. If you haven’t heard her powerful testimony, check out Episode #66 of the podcast!
In today’s conversation, Amanda unpacks why she believes Catholicism may be preventing people from truly knowing Jesus. We dive into some of the biggest questions people have: Why do so many who are raised Catholic end up turning away from God? Is praying to Mary biblical? Should we confess our sins to a priest? What does it really mean to be born again in the Spirit?
If you’ve ever wondered about Catholicism, explored different denominations, or simply want to deepen your understanding of faith, this episode is packed with insight that might challenge your perspective and help you seek the truth.

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.
