The Sturdy Discourse podcast

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.

The Book of Revelation can seem mysterious, dark, and confusing to read. Pastor Doug Van Dorn has come to discuss a way of reading this portion of holy writ (the chiastic way) as the ancient mind would have understood it.

Are you a superstitious Christian afraid of tripping into paganism during the holidays? Is Christmas merely recycled, ancient idol worship? Should Christmas bother the conscience?

1:21:57

In a culture that rejects logic and reasoning, a healthy dose of critical thinking is long over due. In this episode we discuss rational thinking, what that looks like, how to get there, and how at the bottom of most problems in life is the issue of self control. We also get into some of the tussles between weak, needy church leadership and those who want a return to discipline and productivity.
