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.

Genesis 2:8-15 (2) -- Adam's task of guarding

6 years тому

—

Picking up the second part of Adam's designed purpose of "working" and "keeping" the garden, we discuss mainly the spiritual aspect of "keeping" the way of life. This includes the mediation of angels and the culmination in the New Adam, Christ. It newly inspires us once again toward the kingdom realities here and now, as well as those to come.…

Genesis 2:8-15 (1) -- Adam's God-ordained task of working and keeping (part 1, work)

6 years тому

—

God set Adam in the garden with a two-fold purpose: to work and to guard ("keep") the garden of Eden. This discussion focuses on the God-ordained task of work, Adam's role in it throughout Scripture, Christ's fulfillment of it, and his body's execution of it as well. This culminates in the work to be done for the kingdom of the New garden of Eden pictured in Revelation 22.…

Genesis 2:4-7 -- The dual aspect of Adam and the New Adam

6 years тому

—

The review of the creation of Adam focuses on his dual aspects of earth and the breath of life. The OT poets focused upon these, and Christ fulfilled them in unique ways, passing the realities onto the New Adam, his church.

This final in the series of discussions on God's sabbath in creation week, and how it relates to mankind's spiritual rest, covers aspects of psychology, mental health, guilt, anxiety, ancestor "worship," as well as human progress and tyranny, and more.

Genesis 2:1-3 (1) -- The Sabbath of God and the Sabbath of Man

6 years тому

—

The work and sabbath of God is the basis for the sabbath and work of man. The pattern for man is reversed: life/rest and then work. Man's true sabbath is to rest in God, then good works flow from it. This means the Old Law was ceremonial.

Genesis 1:26-28 (3) - The Dominion Mandate in Christ

The dominion mandate is inseparable from the Image of God; both were corrupted in the fall, but Scripture shows they are fully restored and recapitulated in Christ Jesus. This is our call, our restoration, and our mission!

Genesis 1:26-28 (2) - Things "dominion" is NOT

7 years тому

—

"Dominion" is obviously a biblical word and concept, and there is indeed a biblical theology of dominion; but many people have developed mistaken ideas about it. Whether in favor or opposed, mistaken views of "dominion" need to be corrected so we can return to faithful views and practice. Here are five things "dominion" or "dominion theology" is most definitely NOT.…

Genesis 1:26-27 -- The Image of God

7 years тому

—

What does it mean to be created in the Image of God, exactly? Theologians have been quite diverse on this, but we have at least some answers---some very interesting ones in fact! Join us as we consider the Image in Adam, both male and female, humanity as a whole, its ultimate fulfillment in Christ himself, and more!…

Animal as symbols appear in crucial theological areas: God, man, sacrifices, case laws, nations, tyrannies, food laws, prophecies, and more . . . all for important reasons to which we really need to pay attention today.

Genesis 1:9-10 (3) -- Ladders, Living Trees, and Trees of Life

7 years тому

—

God's language of fruiting trees appears over and over again as imagery of abundance, life, and blessing. We see them associated with the righteous man, trees planted by the waters, giving fruit in due season; and we see them as symbols of nations, culminating in the trees of life for the healing of the nations in Revelation 22. Along the way we get an interesting glimpse at their symbolism as ladders to heaven, in Jesus' words to Nathaniel.…
