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.

We should always live with an expectation of increase from the Lord. But we must remember our favor has a purpose— and it’s not solely for us to be happy and comfortable. I don’t feel favored when my life becomes about me. My way, my wants, and my comfort. His favor is more about what God is doing through you, not solely for you.

Conflict Resolution in the Church | David Bendett | 02-16-25 58:46

14天之前58:46

58:46

Conflict is inevitable—even in the Body of Christ. The ones we love the most can hurt us the deepest, but Jesus understands that pain better than anyone. He was betrayed, abandoned, and crucified, yet His response was, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." (Luke 23:34) When believers sin against us, how should we respond? Matthew 18:15-16 gives us a clear process for handling conflict with love, humility, and a goal of restoration. Winning an argument isn't the goal—winning people back to Jesus and relationship is. In this message, we explore: The importance of going directly to the person first (Matthew 18:15) How to seek reconciliation while guarding against bitterness The role of love in covering a multitude of sins (1 Peter 4:8) Trusting the Holy Spirit to guide us in each unique situation We are called to live in peace, clothed in mercy, kindness, humility, and patience (Colossians 3:12-15). Let’s ask the Lord for the supernatural grace to forgive, forget, and bring healing where it's needed.…

Spiritual Aid - We are not Meant to be Alone | David Bendett | 02-09-25 40:27

22天之前40:27

40:27

Everything God created in the Garden was good—but why did He allow a deceiving serpent and a deadly tree to exist? Was it a test of devotion, or part of a greater plan pointing to Christ? We are not meant to be alone—we have Jesus, our spouses, and the Body of Christ to strengthen, support, and uplift one another. When we love and aid each other, we reflect God’s divine plan for unity and purpose. This week, we dive into the profound mystery of why it was “not good” for man to be alone (Genesis 2:18) and how God's design for relationships, marriage, and the Body of Christ reflect His love and purpose. 💬 Key Scriptures: 📖 Genesis 1:31 | Genesis 2:18 | 1 Timothy 3:4-5 | Hebrews 2:16-18 | Matthew 25:37-40…

Weak Vessels - Don't bite the Apple | David Bendett | 02-02-25 53:37

53:37

In this sermon, we delve deeper into the profound mystery of marriage as a reflection of Christ and His Bride, the Church. Drawing from Ephesians 5:25-27 and 1 Peter 3:7, we explore the biblical call for husbands to love, honor, and dwell with their wives in understanding, just as Christ does with us. This teaching highlights the divine design for husbands to spiritually lead, sanctify, and cherish their wives while recognizing the "weaker vessel" mystery—not as a sign of inferiority but as a reflection of spiritual sensitivity and unique gifting. Through grace, we are empowered to embody Christ's love in marriage and relationships within the Body of Christ.…

In this message, Pastor David Bendett explores the "great mystery" of unity described in Ephesians 5:29-32. God’s design for oneness extends beyond marriage to include unity with Him, within ourselves, with our spouses, and as members of His Church. Through nourishing and cherishing relationships—just as Christ loves and nurtures His body, the Church—we are called to live in harmony and maturity. True love, rooted in divine alignment, brings healing, restoration, and spiritual growth. Join us as we uncover God’s heart for unity and learn how to walk in this calling by His grace.…

The birth of Jesus Christ marked the dawn of a new era, a monumental shift that introduced a divine kingdom unlike any before. It was a pivotal moment in history, heralding the arrival of a kingdom that transcended earthly rule and human governance. This was not merely the birth of a child but the establishment of a new order that challenged existing powers and offered a revolutionary way of life. Jesus’ birth was the inception of a kingdom with eternal significance, one that would redefine authority and bring hope to a world in desperate need of salvation. This kingdom, born in a humble manger, promised a reign of justice, peace, and everlasting life.…
