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.

We are being subtly and strategically influenced by our culture, whether we realize it or not. It's time to reclaim our lives for the kingdom.

In this heartfelt episode, Jordan and Venessa share their transformative journey from searching for their version of utopia to encountering Jesus Christ, which dramatically shifted the course of their lives.

This conversation delves into the challenges of defining marriage in a secular world while highlighting the profound difference of a covenant union before God.

Have you ever wondered why the sinless Jesus would need to be baptized? In this episode, Zach, Brandon, and Jill dive into this profound question, uncovering how Jesus’ baptism was both a moment of identification with humanity and a coronation as the King. They explore its connection to Old Testament themes of redemption and the great exchange of sin for righteousness central to the Gospel. The conversation highlights the vital role of the Holy Spirit in the life of believers, the relational nature of truth embodied in Christ, and the authority of Jesus rooted in His baptism and identity as the Son of God. With reflections on the triune nature of God, the importance of community engagement, and the practical call to submit to Christ, this discussion offers a deeper understanding of faith and its transformative power.

From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible reveals God’s plan to dwell with His people, culminating in the coming of Jesus Christ, the Savior who fulfills all things. In this episode, we dive into Mark chapter one, where Jesus steps onto the scene as the fulfillment of God’s promises. This moment is rich with New Exodus language: Just as Joshua led the Israelites across the Jordan into the Promised Land, John the Baptist stands at the Jordan, preparing the way for Jesus to fulfill the ultimate promise — God redeeming a people for Himself. We’ll explore the significance of John’s baptism, which invited both Jews and Gentiles into a new relationship with God, and how Jesus’ baptism with the Holy Spirit ushers in true freedom and transformation. Join us as we unpack the beauty of the Trinity, the Spirit’s role in our everyday lives, and the fulfillment of God’s redemptive plan through Christ.

What Is the Gospel? - Mark 1:1 | #13 53:50

πριν 6 weeks53:50

Many of us grew up with a reductionist view that the gospel is solely about the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. While these are central to the gospel message, we expand the definition by exploring Jesus’ own words in Mark 1, verses 14-15, where He proclaims, “The kingdom of God has come near.” We explore how the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus are not separate from the coming of the kingdom but are the very means by which God’s kingdom breaks into our world. This kingdom is a present reality that transforms our lives here and now, offering us new life, hope, and purpose. This conversation challenges us to move beyond a limited understanding, celebrating the gospel as both the victory over sin and death and the announcement of a new way of living. Join us as we rediscover the depth and beauty of the gospel and how it shapes every moment of our lives, thus erasing the secular and sacred divide. It is all His.

Zach, Jill, and Brandon explore how resolutions can go deeper, becoming rhythms that draw us closer to God and help us experience His goodness. From funny stories to an honest recount of a heated fight, this episode gets real about the struggles of busyness, the power of Sabbath, and how confession transforms our hearts more than any legalistic list ever could.

Truth isn’t just an idea—it’s a person. We’ll explore how the church has often avoided the hard conversations about truth and why stepping into those discussions is vital for our lives and society. Through the beauty of creation and the authority of Scripture, we’ll see how God reveals Himself and invites us to know Him—not with blind faith, but with a faith that is tangible, real, and life-changing. Together, we’ll wrestle with the complexities of God, the implications of truth in a world that often rejects it, and how experiencing love connects us to His divine revelation. If you’re longing for conversations that challenge, inspire, and draw you closer to the heart of God, this podcast is for you. Let’s rediscover the power of truth—together.
