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.

In the book of revelation we see that the power the world believes it holds is all in fact an illusion, because there is only one who holds ultimate power in this world and in our lives. Before you see anything else in Revelation you have to see Jesus because he is the one our faith is grounded in and the anchor of our hope.

Another word in the Greek language for love is Agape. This love is an unconditional, sacrificial and generous love. The more we remain in the unconditional love of God, the more that love will be produced in us.
Another word in the Greek language for love is Phileo. Phileo love is a friendship love. God himself has shown us this love and longs to receive this love from us. This is a love that goes two ways and allows us to face life better and grow stronger.
We've probably all asked or pondered the question, "what is love?" In our language, we have the one word, but the Greek uses four different words for love that can help us dive a little deeper into what genuine love looks like. Join us as we jump into this season of love! One of the words in the Greek language for love is Eros. Eros love is a passionate romantic and intimate love that has been created by God and meant to be a beautiful thing. This is a love God created but the world perverted.…
We can participate with the body of Christ practically speaking by giving with joy as a body together to make an impact in each other’s lives and our community.
God’s word is meant to inform us so that it can transform us. We don’t just store the information we glean from his word, we apply it. James said we’re not to just be hearers of the word, but doers. Join us as we see what we can do, practically speaking, to apply God’s word as his church and be a part of what he wants us to be in advancing the Kingdom of God. While every thing about the local church doesn’t look exactly like things did when the church began, the principles of the church still remain. We can learn a lot from the early church, one of which was how they were devoted to God, his word, and to each other.…
When Jesus was born there were quite a few different visitors to his birth. What may be just as shocking was those that didn’t come to see this miraculous birth. Jesus was born into our world to get our attention. How you respond is very important.
King Herod was infuriated when the wise men didn’t return to tell him where Jesus was after his birth. In his anger he decided to kill every male 2 and under in Bethlehem. Matthew points out that this act links back to a prophecy from Jeremiah about the weeping of mothers in Ramah, saying that there is a hope for the future, a hope that would bring a new covenant. The good news was born into our dark world, into our pain, so that he could take what causes our pain and die for it on a cross to fulfill the promise of God and offer hope to the world.…
Matthew keeps going in his writing surrounding the birth of Jesus to tell us how God led Mary and Joseph to take their new child to Egypt in order to protect him from a horrible mandate that had been decreed by King Herod. Matthew tells us that by Mary and Joseph doing this it fulfills a prophecy from Hosea. We can learn through this that no matter the uncertainty, no matter the wait, following Christ wherever he leads is always better because Christ is far greater than anything else in our life.…
Join us as we look at Matthew's account of the birth of Jesus and how he points out that Jesus is the Messiah the prophets were speaking about. Along the way we'll look at Joseph and Mary's commitment to trust God, their obedience to follow him, and the hope we now have. The prophet Isaiah spoke of a virgin birth that would change the world. Matthew tells us that this birth happened through a young girl named Mary who was betrothed to be married to a young man named Joseph, who was in the line of David. Mary and Joseph’s trust in God and willingness to yield their life to his will is remarkable. What can we learn from them?…
Paul wraps up his letter to the Galatians with a very compelling call and a reminder that the gospel teaches us that love requires something from us. We have a call to to hold each other accountable and help encourage each other in our faith journeys.
As we move into Galatians 5 we see Paul’s theme come to full light - our freedom in Christ. Christ has set you free and one of the greatest freedoms you have now is to pursue a relationship with the one who pursued you through the cross to purchase your freedom.
