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.

Is obedience to God just about following rules, or is there something deeper? In this episode of Beyond Forgiveness , I explore what true biblical obedience looks like, how it transforms our hearts rather than just our actions, and how God’s love—not fear—fuels our faithfulness. I also share my personal testimony about stepping out in faith, overcoming self-doubt, and experiencing God’s presence in an unexpected opportunity. Through scripture, real-life struggles, and biblical wisdom, we uncover: ✨ Key Topics & Biblical References: -- Obedience as a Response to Love, Not a Checklist – (John 14:15, Romans 12:1-2, 1 Samuel 15:22, Psalm 40:8, Deuteronomy 6:4, James 1:22, Hebrews 11:8) -- Faith vs. Fear: Trusting God When You Can’t See the Path – (Genesis 12:1-4, Genesis 22:1-18, 2 Timothy 1:7, Proverbs 3:5-6, Romans 8:28) -- Jesus: The Ultimate Model of Obedience – (Luke 22:42, Philippians 2:8, Matthew 5:17-20, John 15:10-11, Matthew 26:40, Romans 5:8) -- Struggling with Rejection & Finding True Christian Community – (Matthew 7:21-23, Hebrews 10:24-25, James 1:2-4, Proverbs 29:25, 2 Timothy 4:16) -- God’s Presence: Learning to Walk in Faith, Not Feelings – (Psalm 139:7-12, Matthew 27:46, Isaiah 41:10, John 16:13, Isaiah 55:11) -- The Blessings of Obedience: What Does ‘Prosperity’ Really Mean? – (Deuteronomy 28:1-14, Matthew 6:33, Romans 6:16, John 14:21, Hebrews 11:6) If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I obeying God the right way?”, “Why does obedience feel so hard?”, or “How do I trust God when I don’t feel His presence?”, this episode is for you.

Zechariah is a rich but often challenging book, full of vivid imagery and multifaceted messages that can feel overwhelming to unpack. In this episode, I reflect on Zechariah 4:10 and the idea of "small beginnings," a theme that speaks deeply to seasons of waiting, discouragement, and trust.

Let’s journey together through the text, drawing insights from other scriptures that illuminate how God sees and values the small things.

Beyond Forgiveness: Called to Holiness 47:41

for 22 weeks siden47:41

47:41

In this episode, I dive deep into the profound call to be "holy as He is holy," as outlined in 1 Peter 1:15-16. Join me as we explore the nature of God's holiness, the significance of our union with Christ, and the practical steps believers can take to embody this divine calling. I unpack the multifaceted concept of holiness—understanding it as both a positional status and a transformative journey. We also discover how Jesus Christ serves as our ultimate example and how His righteousness empowers us to pursue a life reflecting God's purity. Tune in to learn about daily surrender (how yielding to the Holy Spirit can shape our desires and actions); renewing the mind (the transformative power of Scripture and meditation); cultivating virtues (practical ways to develop the fruit of the Spirit in your life); repentance and community (the importance of ongoing repentance and engaging with a supportive Christian community); and endurance and grace (embracing trials as growth opportunities and relying on God's grace for true transformation). Join me on this journey toward holiness, where we recognize that it’s not about human effort, but about the grace that empowers us to live according to God's standards. Whether you’re a seasoned believer or just beginning your faith journey, this episode offers valuable insights for everyone seeking to reflect God's holiness in their daily lives.…
