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.

A Faith Statement and A Mission Statement 1:10

Send us a text “I remain confident of this:I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” - Psalm 27:13 What kind of statement is this verse? On the on hand, it is a profound statement of faith. No matter the darkness, I will look to the light. Though night falls around me I will wait for the dawn. Psalm 27 is a bold declaration that we will endure, that we will not surrender, that we will not give up hope. And if that were all that this Psalm were, that would be more than enough. But I believe it is something even more. “I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” Is also our mission statement. Where we are right now, with what we have right now, we are determined to see to it that the goodness of the Lord will be seen in this land of the living. We will be the voice of hope to the hopeless, the welcome to the stranger, the comfort to the afflicted. We will stretch our arms to help lift those who fallen, to share our food with the hungry, and to break the yokes of the oppressed. “I remain confident of this:I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” - Psalm 27:13 This is 60 Seconds of Hope. #60secondsofhope #lent #lent2025 #inspiration #growth #love #hope #prayer #personaldevelopment #positivity #positivemindset #dailydevotional #dailydevotion #dailyinspiration Support the show…

Send us a text Acknowledge Your Pain. Ask for Help. “Hear, O LORD, when I cry aloud; be gracious to me and answer me!” - Psalm 27:7 No one is excluded from all trouble. No one is excluded from all difficulties. No one is excluded from pain. We don’t have to pretend to have it altogether. We don’t have to pretend that we are ok when we aren’t. We don’t have to pretend to be fearless when we are afraid. Like the ancient psalmists, we can be honest in God’s presence. In the communion of God’s love, we hold time and space for each other to be vulnerable and raw. We don’t discount, dismiss, or diminish our experiences. Living faithfully means in part to seek God’s presence when it feels absent, to seek God’s guidance when we feel lost, to seek God’s comfort when we feel troubled. We acknowledge our pain. We ask for help. We trust that somehow, someway, someday God will answer us. I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope.

Send us a text A New World Is Within Reach “The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!” - Mark 1:15 In the face of military occupation, economic exploitation, and religious corruption the Gospel of Mark has Jesus begin his ministry by boldly declaring that it doesn’t have to be this way. The kingdom of God that Jesus proclaims is not some end of the world scenario. Rather it describes a different way for us to live and care for each other. It is literal good news for the literal poor, freedom for the literally oppressed, care for the literally sick, and welcome for the literal stranger. Instead of seeking revenge and retribution we practice forgiveness. Instead of caring only for me and mine, we see every person as our neighbor. We see our Heavenly Father not as ours alone but as father of the whole wide world, the entire universe. We are invited to embrace this vision with every fiber of our beings. Repentance means turning from our old ways of doing things and embracing this new way. A new world is within our reach. I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope.

What Are We Ready For? 1:00

Send us a text What Are We Ready For? ‘Why did God wait until Jesus was 30? What kind of impact could he have had in his twenties?’ - a paraphrase of a terrific question posed in comments section earlier today. The Gospel of Luke says that Jesus grew in wisdom and stature (Luke 2:52). I believe like all of us, Jesus himself had to grow into his role. His work didn’t start earlier because he wasn’t ready. His time hadn’t come yet. What are the ways in which we need to grow? What are the gifts we need to develop? In what skills do we need to become proficient? What habits of thought, speech, action, or character do we need to embrace? More importantly, we need to ask ourselves what we are ready and capable of doing right now? While more growth and development will surely be required of all of us, there are things we are ready to do today. Perhaps the biggest temptation Jesus overcame was the temptation to wait for some other time to begin his work. It’s never the perfect time, but it’s always the right time to do what we can, where we are with what we have. I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope.

Send us a text This Season Will Pass “And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.” - Luke 4:13 One of Jesus’s greatest moments was immediately followed by one of his most difficult. Immediately after being filled with the Spirit and answering his calling, he went into the wilderness for a time of fasting and prayer. Just then the tempter showed up and tried to get him to stray. Life comes with seasons. Some are fat and some are lean. Some are easy and others are hard. Some are filled with triumphs and achievements. While others are filled with tragedy and disappointment. And sometimes the seasons themselves are mixed with a beautiful day followed by a bitterly cold day. What season is it now? Some of us are facing the hardest struggle of our lives right now. When we look at what’s happening in the world, it’s hard to see how we are all going to make through. Just know that this season will pass. We will get through. Brighter days are ahead. But we must stay true to who we are and faithful to our mission and purpose. We will win as long as we refuse to give in. I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope.

Send us a text When we understand that we are God’s beloved… And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.” - Mark 9:11 Jesus was somewhere around 30 years old when he went out into the wilderness to study with John the Baptist. He had led rather ordinary life up until that point… no teachings, no disciples, no miracles. The impetus for all those began when he discovered or at least embraced his identity as God’s beloved child… Jesus encouraged each of us to make a similar spiritual journey, to be born again from above. At the heart of our rebirths is the understanding that we are God’s beloved sons and daughters, God’s beloved children. When we understand this we stop living small. We discern, develop, and deploy our gifts and share them with the world. Understanding that we are God’s beloved propels us into becoming our best and brightest selves. I’m Horace McMillon.

Send us a text How Do We Meet Our Needs? “The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.” - Matthew 4:3 Just before Jesus began his public ministry, he was led into the wilderness where he was forced to face three types of temptations that are common to humanity. Surrendering to any of these would have derailed him being who God called him to be. The first temptation is seemingly so harmless that that we often fail to recognize it when we are facing it. Jesus was hungry. He both wanted and needed to eat. We need food, clothing, shelter, emotional and physical support and intimacy. We all get hungry for these at times. There’s no shame or sin in that. They are human necessities. The challenge we face is to resist the temptation to take short cuts that compromise our values, dignity, or the dignity of another person in order to meet those needs. Like Jesus, we trust our footsteps to God’s pathway and trust that our needs will be fulfilled the right way at the right time. I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope.

Send us a text There’s Still Time for Love to Save Us “Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity.” - Joel 2:13 The prophet Joel warned the people of his day of the pending calamity they would suffer if they continued down the road they were following. The same type of warning applies to many of us today, and it certainly applies to all of us collectively as humanity. Our lack of care for the world around us, our lack of care for each other, will lead us to more hardship and suffering. But even in the midst of this dire warning, there was yet a seed of hope. If we sincerely have a change of heart that leads us to changing the way we treat each other and the way we live, there’s still time for us to advert these disasters. There’s still time for love to save us. I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope.

Practicing True Spirituality 1:00

Send us a text “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them.” - from Matthew 6:1 If we are practicing our religion and spirituality in order to look good or to win the respect of others, then we are doing it for the wrong reasons. Alternatively, Jesus shows us a spirituality where our prayer simply becomes our way of life. Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, (Live life with awe, wonder and trust.) your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. (Never give up the hope the world as it should be.) Give us today our daily bread. (Stay centered and focused in the needs of the moment.) And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. (Practice Forgiveness) And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil. (Always seek to be in the right places, doing the right things, for the right reasons) This kind of righteousness doesn’t need the affirmation of anyone. I’m Horace McMillon.
