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.

March 2, 2025 // Living in the Light: Transfiguraiton 18:45

5天之前18:45

18:45

In Luke 9, Jesus takes three of his friends up a mountain for a dazzling display of glory: the Transfiguration. In the midst of their ministry and on the journey towards Jerusalem, they're offered a glimpse of what is to come. How do these mountain top moments shape us as we walk through the messiness of this world? Are we open to transformation in the thin places where we meet God?…

February 23, 2025 // Living in the Light: Mercy that Moves 38:13

12天之前38:13

38:13

This Sunday’s service featured a “coffee shop conversation” between Lisi and Joe reflecting on Luke 6:27-38, the second part of Jesus’ Sermon on the Plain. "Love your enemies...turn the other cheek... be merciful as God is merciful...etc." Does Jesus really mean for us to do all of that stuff? How can we possibly live up to those ideals? Join the conversation!…

February 9, 2025 // Living in the Light: Worthy of following the life of Jesus 8:28

23天之前8:28

8:28

How do we respond to those who feel unworthy? How do we work at reframing the messages that have us believe we are not enough? How do we, like Jesus, call each other forward into hope, healing and worthiness? We were pleased to have our own Heather Peters (MCC SK Peacebuilding Coordinator) provide our 5-Minute Focus on this Brunch Sunday. In closing Heather invited us to listen to and watch When God Imagined Me by Alana Levandoski and to pray for people who are experiencing feelings of unworthiness – whether through systems, cultural narratives or relationships.…

February 2, 2025 // Living in the Light: Anna & Simeon 24:49

大约1年之前24:49

24:49

Luke 2 tells the story of Anna and Simeon, two elderly folks who interrupt baby Jesus' first trip to the Temple with their joyful proclamations. What is this simple story doing as the final story of Jesus' early days in Luke's gospel? Why do these old "prophets" matter and what could we learn from them about identity, hope and blessing?…

January 26, 2025 // Living in the Light: Good News for All! 24:49

大约1年之前24:49

24:49

In Luke 4, Jesus begins his public ministry with an "inaugural" sermon in his hometown of Nazareth. His message, coming straight from the prophet Isaiah, bears a challenging word for his first audience and for us. In these challenging times, we ask ourselves: can we live out the radical message of the gospel, and what are we willing to endure and give up?…

We were pleased to have our friends Cheryl Woelk and Scott Kim visiting this Sunday. Scott and Cheryl are Mennonite Church Canada Liaison Workers in South Korea. They shared with us their experiences working for peace as Mennonite Christians in Korea.

January 12, 2025 // Living in the Light: Christ has come…now what? 29:23

大约1年之前29:23

29:23

"You want a new world? Great. Get real still and let the old world die." The promise (or threat?) of a whole new world is in the air all around us these days--politically, economically, ecologically and personally. How do we navigate the bumpy waters of change--longed for or forced upon us--in ways that lead to health and growth? And what does this have to do with Jesus' baptism?…

January 5, 2025 // Epiphany // Following the Light 14:27

大约1年之前14:27

14:27

Epiphany is the season after Christmas in which we celebrate the incarnation of the Divine, the revelation of God in the person of Jesus Christ. In Matthew 2:1-12, we follow the journey of the "Magi" from the east to Bethlehem, learning that God works in unexpected ways and gifts come in unexpected places.…

December 22, 2024 // Advent 4 // Together on the Journey: Love // Love Makes Things Grow 22:02

大约1年之前22:02

22:02

With the prophet Isaiah, we imagine the world as it could be and full of life - flowers and rivers in the desert, and a Sacred Path back home. Jesus offers the same prophetic imagination to see the world differently. This transformation is slow but sure work, and we are invited to take part. As we wrap up this Advent season, we pray that hope and peace and joy and love flourish in us and transform the world around us.…

December 8, 2024 // Advent 2 // Together on the Journey: Peace // Peace Inside Out 24:59

大约1年之前24:59

24:59

Advent is a season of peace and love and harmony, as envisioned by the prophet Isaiah's poetry about wolves and lambs resting together, toddlers playing with vipers, vegetarian lions, etc. That sounds lovely (if a little boring), but... here in the real world, conflict and destruction persist, to put it lightly. Why do we care about an ancient, idealistic vision of peace? And how might we practice this vision within ourselves and our communities?…

December 1, 2024 // Advent 1 // Together on the Journey: Hope // Mary’s Song 27:39

大约1年之前27:39

27:39

On this first Sunday of Advent, we ponder what it means to have hope along with Mary through the lens of The Magnificat (Luke 1:46-55). This song offers a word of hope for a waiting and oppressed people, and invites us to "go and do likewise" and join God in bringing hope to our hurting world.

November 24, 2024 // Eternity Sunday // Everything's Gonna Be Alright 19:15

大约1年之前19:15

19:15

On Eternity Sunday, the last Sunday of the traditional church calendar, at Wildwood we take time to name and grieve for our losses in the past year. This year's snow storm meant that only a few of us met at the church building while most others joined online. This solemn service raises big questions for many of us, especially about death, resurrection and the afterlife. What is the basis for the Christian hope that not even death can separate us from the love of God? How do we know that, in the end, everything is going to be okay?…

This week we were excited to have Wyndham Thiessen ( Executive Director/Community Leader) and Alecia Thompson join us from L’Arche Saskatoon. They talked about building community and referenced some scripture texts that are particularly relevant to them in this context. We have chosen L'Arche Saskatoon to be our Annual Community Partner this year and look forward to connecting and building community over the coming months.…

June 20, 2021 // Faith of Many Colours // Part 3: Powerful Faith 21:49

大约1年之前21:49

21:49

What Colour is your Faith? This summer at Wildwood, we're exploring the model of Spiral Dynamics as a way to understand the many different faith perspectives that are within and around all of us. Billie Eilish. Mumilaaq Taqqaq. Hannah Gadsby. (Yup, we are shamelessly celebrity name-dropping to clickbait you into checking out this week's sermon.) But also, these three powerful women demonstrate the best of the "Red: Power/Ego" space in our series on the spirituality of Spiral Dynamics. Come flex with us! The song you should see me in a crown by Billie Eilish has been removed due to copyright.…
