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.

In this episode of Higher Ground, Billy Hallowell sits down with Pastor Jesse Bradley from Grace Community Church in Washington State. They dive into the role of faith in today’s chaotic political climate, exploring why it’s essential for believers to engage thoughtfully and prayerfully with current events — especially amid dark times. Jesse shares his insight on the balance between spiritual convictions and civic responsibilities, reminding listeners of the importance of praying for all leaders—whether or not they align with our beliefs.

The discussion also takes a personal turn, as Mr. Bradley opens up about the struggles facing the church today. From navigating the political spectrum to facing cultural confusion, he offers guidance on finding clarity in Scripture and using it as the foundation for decision-making, especially during elections and chaotic times. This conversation will inspire you to ask, “What does God want for my vote?”

Beyond politics, Mr. Bradley explores the real-life challenges plaguing society—from the rise in mental health struggles to societal shifts that often leave the church feeling isolated. He emphasizes the need for a grassroots, Gospel-centered approach, sharing practical ways his church is working to reach people where they are, including innovative ministries like Drive Thru Prayer and JustChooseHope.org.

They discuss how, in dark times, a little light can go a long way. Jesse shares powerful stories from Seattle, highlighting how small acts of hope can transform lives and communities. He calls on Christians everywhere to rise above the fray, spread hope, and become part of the solution, living out the true calling of faith in every facet of life.

So, tune in for a stirring conversation that will challenge you to think deeper, pray harder, and act bolder.

America's Trust Crisis Rages: Why Trust in Government, Media and Education Has Tanked (and How We Can Fix It) 20:23

לפני 1 day20:23

20:23

America is facing a trust crisis. From the economy to the government and media, the metrics aren't good. That's why author David Horsager is taking on the issue in his latest book, "Trust Matters More than Ever: 40 Proven Tools to Lead Better, Grow Faster & Build Trust Now!" "Until the 70s, almost 80% of Americans trusted our government to do basically what was right. Well, then trust tanked, our institutional trust tanked, and so we didn't trust government," he tells Billy Hallowell, noting the same is true of politics, media and education. "When I grew up, homeschooling was weird — not anymore. The institution of education isn't as trusted, so we have these charters and homeschooling." Mr. Horsager breaks down the stunning extent of the trust problem, the impact — and how he believes America can remedy these issues.

With Prime's 'House of David': Hollywood Just Opened the Door to a Culture-Shifting Phenomenon 10:45

לפני 8 ימים10:45

10:45

One of the biggest mysteries plaguing Hollywood has been the overarching reticence to sufficiently court the faith and family audience, a values-based cohort that has proven itself ravenous for high-caliber content that delivers safe and uplifting entertainment. But Tinseltown has traditionally instead offered up a drought in this arena, with mainstream networks, production companies, and platforms either ignoring or taking this audience for granted. This has effectively forced Christian and family-friendly outfits in recent years to independently create outside of the traditional system. Meanwhile, Hollywood has, at moments, been taken by surprise when faith-based films on shoe-string budgets deliver stunning profit margins. This dynamic seems to be gearing up for a pretty notable change, though, with Prime, a streaming platform owned by Amazon, set to release “House of David,” a TV series premiering Feb. 27 that pledges to tell the “story of the ascent of the biblical figure, David, who eventually becomes the most renowned and celebrated king of Israel.” Filmmakers Jon Erwin and Jon Gunn join Billy Hallowell to break it all down.…

Trump's Wild Political Resurrection Sends 3 Major WARNINGS to Hollywood, Media and Progressives 8:40

President Donald Trump’s political resurrection is undoubtedly one of the most head-scratching and captivating moments in American political history. His reascension, by all accounts, seemed like an implausible pipe dream four years ago, and yet he has once again taken the oath of office, becoming only the second U.S. president — the first was Grover Cleveland, who served as America’s 22nd and 24th commander in chief — to serve two non-consecutive terms. And this moment is sending shockwaves and warnings throughout Hollywood, the media and progressives more generally. Here's what liberals must learn from Mr. Trump's re-ascension — and quickly, if they have any hope of mending their tattered movement.

Politician on Trial and Facing Fines For Sharing a Bible Verse and Her Christian Views Reveals Why She Refuses to Back Down 18:25

לפני 16 weeks18:25

18:25

A member of Finland's parliament who has faced a years-long legal battle for sharing a Bible verse on social media is refusing to back down from her freedom fight. Päivi Räsänen told "Higher Ground With Billy Hallowell" her legal battle began more than five years ago when she challenged Finland's main religious body, the Evangelical Lutheran Church, questioning why it had "decided to support, financially and publicly" a local Pride parade. "It was a disappointment and even shock to me and many others," she said. "Many of my friends decided to resign the church, and I was also praying ... 'What should I do now?' I was very worried about this very public statement of the leadership of the church because I was worried that it will undermine people's trust on Bible and its authority." Ms. Räsänen decided to take to Twitter to share text from Romans 1, where the Apostle Paul addresses sexual ethics. She added a question to church leadership about their position in support of Pride. "After that, some citizen made a criminal complaint and the police started to investigate the case," Ms. Räsänen continued. "At the beginning, I didn't believe it. I just read it from the newspaper that police [had] started to investigate the case and I phoned to the policeman and he said, 'Yes, we are investigating it.'" Now, she faces a major trial over her religious expression. Listen to Ms. Räsänen share the full story.
