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.

As we discussed in our last episode, the Bible seems clear in its command that believers are to go and make disciples. The next step is exploring how one is to effectively carry out this command. That is precisely what we discuss on this episode.

Text Us! There is no doubt that there is a natural desire within every Christian, and more specifically every minister, to help others in their times of need. However, how far is too far? Is it ever appropriate for someone to come between a Pastor and his parishioner? Further, what does the Bible say about those that interfere beyond their God-given authority?

Ep. 94 Cultural Context and Church History 50:22

Text Us! The study of Church History has been an invaluable tool for the modern church. However, arguments abound as it relates to church history somewhat being the standard that we measure our doctrine by. Further, arguments are made that if a particular issue cannot be proven sufficiently from the records of church history, then the modern church should not hold to such ideologies. In this episode, we contend that the culture in which the early church operated must be taken into consideration before we dismiss certain beliefs that do not abound in the records of church history.

Text Us! In Matthew 28:19-20 we are given what has come to be known as "The Great Commission". Is this commission still binding on the church? Are we obligated to fulfill the command that Christ is giving here, or was it merely for the disciples? Further, when Matthew 28:19 says to "go" is it a direct command, or merely a passive statement that we are to make disciples as we go along our way?

Text Us! Some have the opinion that because we are of the Kingdom of God, then our allegiance should be to that Kingdom alone. We should have no part in the affairs of earthly government. However, is that what the Bible truly teaches? Does our citizenship of the Kingdom of God negate our responsibility to be good citizens of our nation? Are these concepts at odds one with the other?

Text Us! We continue our series on the Kingdom of God. We have already established that there is a sense in which the Kingdom of God is present in this world today. We see that evidenced through the power of God demonstrated in various forms. However, is there a sense in which the Kingdom will come in a "fuller" expression and realization? If so, do we as the Church help that Kingdom become established in its fullest sense on this earth? What Scriptural evidence seems to point to the establishment of this Kingdom futuristically?

Text Us! Though the Kingdom of God has not been realized in its fullest sense yet, there is an element of it that is accessible and evident even now. The power of the Kingdom was demonstrated through the ministry of Christ and the Apostles in the Gospels, then through the church in the book of Acts, and is still evident in modernity. There really is power that transforms lives, and it is found in the Gospel of the Kingdom. That is precisely what we discuss on this episode. Faith That Challenges. Conversations that Matter.

Text Us! All throughout the Gospel accounts we find this concept of the Kingdom of God or the Kingdom of Heaven. What is so important about understanding what this reference is? Jesus found it important enough to make it a central topic of his preaching in the Gospel accounts. Further, how does understanding this important concept transform the life of the believer and change their perception of their responsibility to the world? Those are some of the questions that we are going to seek to answer in this multipart series on the Kingdom of God. We hope you enjoy! Faith That Challenges. Conversations that Matter.

Text Us! Paul instructs the believers at Corinth concerning the covering of the head by women in the public worship setting in 1Corinthians 11. What was the covering that Paul was referring to? Further, does this passage truly deal with hair, or is it referring to a material item that was popular in the Jewish community of that day, used for a head covering? Is Paul dealing with a cultural issue in this passage, or a universal principle applicable to all generations?
