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.

Jerusalem’s Fall 56:16

6 days ago56:16

56:16

God’s people were taken into exile, not just because of their disobedience, but specifically because they refused to rest. The Sabbath was never meant to be just another religious obligation—it was a gift, a rhythm designed to bring life, renewal, and trust in God’s provision. When we neglect rest, we don’t just burn ourselves out; we also fail to create space for God to move. The post Jerusalem’s Fall appeared first on Ottawa Church of Christ .…

Judah’s Exile 55:55

It is difficult to fathom the devastation that fell upon God’s people when Jerusalem and the temple were destroyed. The physical ruins were but a fraction of the sorrow. The deeper pain lay in the crumbling of hopes, dreams, and the very identity of Israel. Their place of worship, the symbol of God’s presence among them, was gone. How could they move forward?

It’s difficult to process the devastation that the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple had on God’s people. Surely, the physical disaster was only a small part of the pain that was felt. The hopes and dreams of Israel also crumbled with Jerusalem’s walls. So many of us face periods of crisis and even devastation.… The post Exile – Northern Kingdom appeared first on Ottawa Church of Christ .…

Judah’s Prophets 1:03:20

1:03:20

The prophets were certainly concerned with the world, but they were also concerned with the hearts of God’s people. We prophetically demonstrate God’s word when we serve the marginalized, but we must also teach prophetic messages within our congregations. Remember, prophecy is not about predicting the future, but rather, an honest look at the current state of affairs through the lens of God’s Word.
