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.

The newest sermons from Immanuel Fellowship Church on SermonAudio.
Some may try to object to or evade the justice of God by claiming that God isunjust, hoping that God will not be able to bring everyone to justice, or appealing to his mercy inhopes that he will compromise on justice. However God's just requirements for humanity arestill just even though, since the fall, all humanity has been unable to meet and keep these justrequirements. God made us completely able to keep his just commands, and it is only by the faultof Adam and Eve that we are no longer able to keep them. God also is fully able to bring allthose who disobey him to justice. Many sinners suffer the wrath of God in this life but all willsuffer the full wrath of God on the day of the LORD. God is merciful but his mercy will notconflict with his justice. This means that his justice needs to be satisfied. The good news of thegospel is not that God has overlooked all the sin of those who believe in Jesus Christ but thatGod's just requirement of righteousness and just wrath against their sin has been satisfied inJesus' life of obedience and sacrificial death on the cross.…
We cannot say for sure that the writer to Hebrews had in mind the examples of Abraham and Lot. But he seems to assume that his Jewish hearers would appreciate the illustration without needing further details. And their stories certainly fit the point of Hebrews 13:2 and reveal to us God's will for our hospitality.…
Have you ever asked, "How did I get here?" Perhaps you've been lost in the woods. Maybe you've found yourself in a marriage or other relationship that started well but is way off track. When you've gone astray it can help to retrace your steps to where you started. That's Jesus' admonition to the church at Ephesus: "Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first" (Rev. 2:5). This is also Paul's approach to the Galatian Christians; they started well, trusting in Christ alone, but are now on their way to building a new religion by making their obedience part of the gospel.…
On the night that Jesus died he shared a meal with his disciples. They ate because they were hungry. The meal fed their bodies. But this was a special meal called the Passover. It commemorated the Lord's provision of a lamb whose blood protected believing families from tragedy.At the dinner Jesus "took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, 'Take, eat; this is my body.' And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, 'Drink of it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sin'" (Matt. 26:26–28).Jesus transformed the Passover into the Lord's Supper. By use of this meal Christ's body and blood can "preserve your body and soul unto everlasting life." But only if we understand and use it properly. To do so requires discernment, right judgment, and self-examination (1 Cor. 11:27–29).…
By this point in Paul's letter to the Galatians his thesis is clear: The gospel declares salvation through the work of Christ alone which we receive by faith alone. This truth is so familiar to us that it seems obvious, noncontroversial. But this theory often gets tested in practice. It is possible for our "conduct [to be] not in step with the truth of the gospel" (Gal. 2:14). We can believe that we are saved by grace alone but behave as if our justification depends on the works of the law.Paul tells of how he rebuked Peter for just this kind of gospel hypocrisy, and then further explains the life-saving truth of justification by faith in Christ alone.…
People who compromise are the best. They are easy to live with because they don't insist on their own way. They work, sometimes against their own purposes, to reach a mutually-beneficial settlement. Like Christ, they look not only to their own interests but also to the interests of others (Phil. 2:4). They are interested not in being served but in serving and giving (). The gospel should make Christians the most agreeable people on the planet. As we bear the fruit of the Spirit we should be easy to get along with in the ordinary course of life. Paul engendered the spirit of compromise when he was willing to become all things to all people (). But our willingness to compromise must have limits. As we keep "in step with the truth of the gospel" (2:14) we will become increasingly inflexible on gospel issues. When the truth of the gospel is concerned we must "not yield in submission even for a moment" (Gal. 2:5).In the first part of Galatians 2 Paul gives an example of his gospel inflexibility. This story authenticates Paul's claim as an apostle sent directly from Christ and teaches us to stand firm when we must.…
As Jesus was preparing to return to the Father, having received "all authority in heaven and on earth," He gave this simple instruction to the eleven disciples: make disciples of all nations" (Matt. 28:18, 19). A disciple is a student, an apprentice, one who is learning to live like his master. And Jesus defined the disciple-making process with these two directives: baptize them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teach them to observe all of Jesus' commands.Christian baptism is disciple's identification with the holy Trinity and a critical step in the process of walking with Jesus. So it is vital that we understand the sacrament of baptism.…
A husband and wife once met with a counselor. The wife explained that while the husband said he loved her, he never touched her. He never held her hand or hugged or kissed her. She believed that her husband loved her. But she couldn't sense it. And that troubled her.We are sensory people. Our senses contribute to our knowledge. You might believe that the cake on a restaurant menu tastes good. You could probably even prove it by reading the ingredients and understanding the preparation procedures. But that's not the same as eating it.The relationship between what we know and what we sense also applies to spiritual things. This is crucial for understanding Scripture's teaching on the sacraments. God "has added [sacraments] to the Word of the gospel to represent better to our external senses both what he enables us to understand by his Word and what he does inwardly in our hearts" (BC 33). The Sacraments are vital to our spiritual growth because, like the preached word, they communicate the gospel free grace and can cultivate a richer sense of God's love for us.…
In Charles Dickens' novel Great Expectations, an orphan named Pip receives a lavish allowance from an anonymous patron. The gift changes his life. It allows him to become a gentleman. But through most of the story Pip has no relationship with his patron. He simply enjoys the benefits of his kindness. In a similar way, it is possible to view God as a benevolent stranger, a mysterious benefactor who pays our debts and enables us to live a rich life. But salvation is more than receiving from God; it is entering a new relationship with him.No doctrine reveals the believer's new relationship with God the way adoption does. And the baptism of a precious adopted child is a perfect opportunity to think about what it means to enter God's family.…
There is presently a lot of discussion about social media fact checking. People are divided about the role of gatekeepers in regulating truth. But this isn't a new problem. The old maxim has always been helpful: consider the source. If you read that "Elevation Church Debuts Water Slide Baptismal," you are probably reading a satire news site. In that example, the danger of believing fake news isn't extreme. But some disputed claims are much more serious. In the churches of Galatia in the early first century a new "gospel" of faith-plus works was gaining circulation. The apostle blasts this "distort[ed] gospel of Jesus Christ. The Galatians should believe nothing but what he had earlier preached to them. And in commending his gospel he tells the Galatians to consider the source. So at the end of the first chapter Paul tells part of his story and why it should matter to the Galatians and to us.…
We have a complicated relationship with rules. Our sinful nature rebels against restrictions. Saint Augustine tells a story from his pre-conversion life about how he and some friends stole pears from a neighbor. They didn't need food. Their "pleasure lay" simply "in doing what was not allowed." We don't like limitations. But we also recognize the need for good rules. Augustine asks, "What thief can with [calmness] endure being robbed by another thief?"Even in the church we need regulations to help us faithfully serve the God of order who calls us to follow him according to his will. So it is "useful and good for those who govern the churches to establish and set up a certain order among themselves for maintaining the body of the church" (BC 31). Church leaders promote God's honor in the church through two types of ordinances. The first we might call "house rules" and the second "holiness rules."…
Faithful Christian service requires radical commitment to the truth, competence in arguing the truth, and greater concern for the approval of God than people. And we see just these traits in the apostle Paul as he introduces us to the Galatian problem. These verses can help us keep Christ front and center in our lives and can especially encourage leaders how to contend for the gospel.…
The church of Jesus Christ is a political organization. It operates differently from civil governments and secular organizations, and must respect its God-ordained sphere. But the church is a body politic, a body of people under an organized government. The church has a King named Jesus, a constitution called the Bible, and officers—elders, deacons, and ministers—who promote the King's will.The way God's officers are chosen, and how they exert influence and are honored by the people they lead is crucial to the health of any congregation. We don't solve this problem of bad church politics by making the church less political. Instead, we should strive for a more biblical practice of church politics.…
God has so ordered his church that "there should be ministers or pastors to preach the Word of God" (Art. 30). The church must send ministers to preach the gospel so that sinners can hear the good news and call on Jesus to be saved (Rom. 10:14, 15).But the duty of gospel proclamation does not belong to ministers alone. Instead, ministers are "to equip the saints for the work of ministry" (Eph. 4:12). To be faithful evangelists we should understand seven foundations for biblical evangelism.…
