In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

Godly Greatness 43:02

1 day ago43:02

43:02

Kingdom Living - Matthew 20:17-28: I asked some of the leading AI software to summarize the most common paths to greatness. They returned phrases like "innovation and creativity", "leadership and influence", "mastery of a skill", "overcoming adversity", "hard work", "continuous learning and growth" and so much more that has to do with bettering oneself. Yet, through the life and teachings of Jesus we discover that Godly Greatness is the inverse - it's about humility, sacrifice and servanthood that puts others first.This Sunday we'll explore a story about two of Jesus' first and closest followers who thought they had the makings of greatness, but ended up needing a change of ambition, appreciation and action.…

41:36

Kingdom Living - Matthew 20:1-16: In Matthew 20:1-16, Jesus presents the scandal of grace - a story that challenges our sense of fairness by revealing a generous God who pays the same wage to all workers. This parable exposes the trap of seeking rewards based on merit and highlights the freedom found in His unconditional grace. Rather than bargaining with God, we are invited into a covenant where His love is lavish and unearned. Experience the true freedom in His grace! This Sunday, join us at 9 or 11am as we explore how God's radical generosity transforms lives and frees us from envy. Bring a friend!…

True Treasure 38:22

38:22

Kingdom Living - Matthew 19:16-30: Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought, "I look good," only to walk into a social setting and have somebody tell you that there's something in your teeth, a stain on your pants or a size sticker left on your shirt?This week we're exploring the Biblical story commonly called "The Rich Young Ruler" and it, too, is a story of a man who had looked closely at himself in the "mirror" of God's law, but was so blinded by his earthly treasure and all that he thought was "good" about himself, that he had grown oblivious to the broken state of his relationship with God. Join us on Sunday as we discover how Jesus graciously offers us the True Treasure of a right relationship with God.…
