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.

At the heart of the gospel is the idea of freedom. So, what does it mean to be truly free? In this episode, we had the great pleasure of talking with Fr. Jacques Philippe, the author of one of our absolute favorite books, Interior Freedom. Joining us all the way from France, Fr. Philippe unpacks how true freedom, consenting to reality, is quite counterintuitive to our human perception that freedom is the ability to choose whatever we want. Freedom is not the ability to shape reality as we choose, but rather the acceptance that our loving heavenly Father is using all things for our good. The obstacles to consenting to reality are many, because we often find ourselves, others, and the world to be unacceptable and burdensome. We talk with Father Philippe about how God’s “realistic” love helps us to accept ourselves, sinners though we be, and about how this love frees us up to accept others too. It’s a wonderful conversation and we pray that you are blessed with true interior freedom as you come to know how much Jesus loves you!

How can I learn to be curious instead of closed off? What if I didn’t need to have all the answers?

Brandon shares his faith journey and his core desire to be curious, explore the questions of life, and yet to remain rooted in what is true.

Wait, what?? The reality of our sin nature is good news!? In today’s episode, Brandon, Liv, and Matt tackle the topic of original sin and how the Bible paints an accurate (and freeing) picture of our slavery to sin. Pulling from chapter 2 of Not Home Yet (Brandon and Liv’s book), the group unpacks the truth that we are in bondage to sin and cannot free ourselves. Interestingly enough, part of our slavery to sin is our desperate attempts to liberate ourselves. The world constantly sells us various products and systems that promise to help us surpass our limitations and faults. We end up on an endless chase, always trying to find “the thing” that will enable us to break the chains that bind us. The reality of how hopeless our condition is ends up being good news because we can finally give up the chase, acknowledging that there’s no point! Then, and only then, are we able to hear God when he offers us a different way forward. We pray this conversation blesses you with a freeing picture of reality.

What even is spirituality and what is Christian spirituality? Brandon and Matt sit down to explore the modern emphasis on spirituality as opposed to religion. They connect the question of spirituality to the meaning crisis and how modern spiritualities all claim to have the answer for a holistic, fulfilling life. Is this analysis true of Christian spirituality as well? How does Jesus answer the questions of meaning and meet our desire for more? Tune in for the answers to those questions, and more! Jesus, the god-man, really likes you (and we do too)! May this episode remind you that you are not alone in your desire for more.

What is scripture’s primary purpose? On today’s show, Brandon, Matt and Peter further the conversation from last episode about obstacles to reading scripture. We take a deep dive into how we each come to scripture with expectations that impact how we receive its message. The guys discuss how the main objective of God’s self-revelation in the Bible is to show us his character, who he really is. Brandon walks us through several scripture passages that show us the compassion of Jesus and unpacks how we can hear all of scripture through Jesus’ loving voice. Friend, today may you know the heart of Jesus who loves you enough to die for you!

Why is the present moment so important? Inspired by a chapter from C.S. Lewis’s, The Screwtape Letters , Brandon, Matt and Peter discuss the importance of the present. Satan wants nothing more than to distract us with anxious thoughts about the future or trap us in unhealthy rumination upon past events. But God only ever invites us into the present, where we can encounter his presence and grace. The guys shift gears a bit and explore how our perception of who God is directly impacts our willingness to receive his invitation in the present moment.

Is there any hope for connection in this isolated world? Today Brandon sits down to chat with his long time friend, Luke Wall, Executive Direction of Only7Seconds, a non-profit addressing the loneliness epidemic. Together they discuss the status of our collective social health in this modern era and why we feel so lonely. A central truth soon emerges: no one person, or organization can fix the loneliness epidemic...but, no one needs to! The fruitful path forward is to dream small and keep it simple. Take the 7 seconds to send a text. Ask someone to lunch. Tell your family you love them. Like building a set of legos, we can build towards relational health one small step at a time. Even this is hard! We first need to receive the love and attention of Jesus so that we can move past our obstacles of fear and insecurity. Enjoy the show! Jesus cares about YOU!

What can we learn about Christian discipleship from The Chronicles of Narnia? In today’s episode, Brandon and Matt interview Joe Rigney, author of the book, Live Like a Narnian: Christian Discipleship in Lewis’s Chronicles . Joe shares his perspective on Christian discipleship as whole person formation and how he believes C.S. Lewis’s books directly further this formation. The conversation then turns towards specific characters and scenes from the books and how they shape our thinking and desire to align with the true, good, and beautiful. Stick around to hear about how books are like friends and why contrasting the books against the movies can be helpful! Thanks for tuning in!

How do we fix our attention? What’s wrong with it anyway? Today Brandon and Peter talk about the human faculty of attention, how and why it’s often hijacked, and what needs fixing. At the core of the problem with our attention is our human need for security and significance. The world is like a chaotic carnival that distracts and overwhelms us with many loud voices all trying to bend our attention to their own interests. We’re not safe and we have no idea where to turn for trusted direction and guidance. The good news is that we have a powerful ally working on our behalf. Jesus, the lord, is near. We are not alone to be harassed and manipulated, God himself is for us with the entirety of his being! Secure in his loving presence, we can finally attend to something else beyond the chaos of the world: Jesus. “Fixing” our gaze of Jesus is paradoxically what fixes our attention.

What does forgiveness feel like? It’s Christianity 101: Jesus died on the cross to forgive you all your sin. But how often do we brush past this foundational truth in our daily walk with Jesus? What would it look like to sit with the truth that “I am forgiven”? Join us on the back porch today as the guys do their best to sit with the truth of forgiveness in Christ. Psalm 103 guides us through the conversation, defining forgiveness and helping us unpack some of the resistance we have towards accepting God’s forgiveness. It gets personal and a little emotional as we do our best to actually sit with this simple truth on today’s show. Thanks for joining us :) Brandon and Liv’s new book is now available!

How do we change? In today's episode Brandon and Peter discuss a theory for change and how skillful listening is a major factor. We all need change, a change in how we experience and view God. We need to deconstruct our bad/wrong images of God and rebuild a true picture of who Jesus is. The question is, "How?" We often get caught in the weeds of trying to change through behavior modification or amassing more knowledge about God, but these do not work. We change as we encounter the goodness and love of God, and listening helps us to experience God as loving and good. Brandon and Liv’s new book is now available!
