33:58

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.

Interviewed Zack Nicholson with Minding the Gap in Kansas City a ministry that addresses literacy in schools, supports school staff and does after school christian clubs in Kansas City. Zack highlighted the alarming statistic that only about a third of U.S. students read proficiently by third grade, increasing their likelihood of dropping out of high school by four times. Completing high school can lead to a $200,000 higher lifetime income, emphasizing literacy's crucial role in education and daily life. They focus on the literacy crisis, particularly in Kansas City, and discuss addressing this issue through tutoring and mentoring programs to help struggling students. Zack shares his experiences working in Hickman Mills and Grandview, areas with high poverty rates where all students qualify for free or reduced lunches. He emphasizes the need for targeted literacy interventions, connecting literacy with social issues such as military eligibility. Nathan and Zack also explore the intersection of literacy and Christian values, advocating for viewing and treating others with respect and dignity. They stress the importance of serving the poor and marginalized, referencing biblical teachings to support their mission. The podcast discusses the growth of the Mind the Gap organization, which provides mentorship, tutoring, and teacher appreciation in schools. Nicholson's personal experience with his son's dyslexia inspired the creation of the 180 Club, focusing on improving literacy scores and spiritual development. The program aims to provide hope and build relationships with students. Nathan and Zack also discuss the broader impact of the Minding the Gap ministry, emphasizing the importance of local church involvement and community partnerships to support literacy and reduce crime rates, ultimately aiming to meet both practical and spiritual needs in schools. I would highly recommend getting involved in this organization. https://www.mindinggaps.org/ More resources for this ministry can be found on Faith Horizons episode page: https://www.faithhorizons.com/minding-the-gap Support the show https://www.buymeacoffee.com/faithhorizons .

The 2 Foundations Pillars of Decision | Steve Magnusun - Ep 87 20:13

大约1年之前20:13

20:13

Steve Magnuson delves into the 2 foundational principles that shape not only individual lives but also entire cities and nations. The episode explores the two foundational pillars that underpin our lives and society: history and government. Steve explains how history represents our personal journey with God, influencing our decisions and perspectives. Likewise, government signifies our understanding of God's authority and our obligation to submit to it. These two concepts, whether positive or negative in nature, serve as the bedrock for all decision-making processes, shaping our purpose and direction in life. Steve's insightful discussion challenges listeners to reflect on their history with God and their approach to His divine authority, offering a profound perspective on how these principles impact our daily choices and the world around us. Throughout the conversation, Steve highlights the universal nature of these foundations, applicable to both Christians and non-Christians alike. He emphasizes that even those who may reject or be indifferent to God still make decisions rooted in their personal history and concept of authority. Steve provides clarity on the essential role of God's government as the highest authority in our lives and explains how it is unchanging, consistent over generations, and applicable worldwide. This episode encourages introspection and a deeper understanding of how the history of our relationship with God and our response to His authority profoundly shape our lives and the world we live in.
