This Is Woman's Work with Nicole Kalil


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.

×Navy Seal, Chad Williams shared his journey to Christ through his time in the military. He parallels Naaman’s deliverance from leprosy to his journey to Christ.
Matthew 3-4 tells us the story of Jesus getting baptized then Jesus being led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. The main point of these stories is to remind believers that we are at war. There is a real enemy; if there is a real enemy, it helps to be mindful of the typical weapons of the enemy as well as practical methods of fighting back against the evil in the world.…
2 Thessalonians charges out of the gate by discussing two of the scariest subjects in Scripture: hell and the antichrist. Both of these frightening subjects carry a message of hope for the church experiencing a sampling of hell and antichrist-like figures.
In a book about hope, why would the first subject be God’s judgment in sending people to hell? In this text we learn about evidence of God’s righteous judgments that will bring hope to every believer.
The thriving model church at Thessalonica has lost hope and the Apostle Paul pens his second letter to both theologically and practically reignite the hope they had in King Jesus.
It’s not difficult to find conflict in this world. But the greatest conflict in the world today is the battle for our minds. The good news is God can reframe our mind for spiritual success.
1 Thessalonians concludes with a to do list of 15 commands for the believer and then states that God is faithful and He will do it. Seems like a contradiction but it is actually the key to growing in our faith.
The end of 1 Thessalonians is the practical boots on the ground portion of this brilliant letter. It gives the church both its marching orders and the plan to construct a community that lives into its given righteousness.
The end of 1 Thessalonians is the practical boots on the ground portion of this brilliant letter. It gives the church both its marching orders and the plan to construct a community that lives into its given righteousness.
In the hustle and bustle of the Christmas holidays we can forget the supernaturally wondrousness of the birth of King Jesus. Re-read the Bible’s presentation and allow God to rekindle wonder.
The church at Thessalonica was freaked out about the end of days. Paul assures them of the return of Christ and then prepares them to live in the reality of His return.
The church at Thessalonica was freaked out about the end of days. They were uninformed about both the return of Jesus and what happens at death. In this short section Paul brilliantly clarifies these questions to encourage the church.
The church at Thessalonica is first encouraged about the good job they are doing demonstrating brotherly love. Next, they are encouraged to keep going by: living quietly, minding their own business, work with their hands, walk properly, and being dependent on no one.
The church at Thessalonica is told to not do sex like the people who don’t know God. Paul had previously instructed them to control their bodies in holiness and honor. We attempt to unearth the weapons that they would have used to exercise body control.
Ancient Greeks and Romans had a drastically different view of what was allowed sexually. The good news is the Gospel has redefined sex for the entire world and in its sunrise has protected the most vulnerable in a society.
Paul has to leave the new church quickly and has concerns about tough things he had said to them. Did they accept them? Reject? Were they mad at him? He sends Timothy and gets a refreshing answer to his relational doubt.
The church at Thessalonica is a model of church success. This leads to the big question: why? At the end of Chapter 2 we get the answer. It is God’s Word, Suffering, War, and the Win.
Spiritually mature Christians adjust their attitude and mindset onward; they have a forward looking mindset. We are to follow Paul’s and other mature Christian's example of making spiritual things a priority in their lives by developing an upward perspective.
Paul leaves Thessalonica after only 3 weeks and into that vacuum of leadership comes accusations leveled against him. He uses chapter 2 to defend how he ministers and gives us a brilliant path to follow.
Everyone needs examples. The Thessalonian believers were able to look at Paul, Silas and Timothy and then through difficulty, repentance, patience and God’s word they became the models for the entire region.
The oldest written document of the New Testament is 1 Thessalonians. It gives us the oldest foundational principles of the church. 1 Thessalonians begins by turning the clock back to remember how the gospel saves and changes pagans.
In Psalm 119, the Psalmist uses 176 verses on a single subject: the beauty and benefits of God’s word. The Psalmist’s goal is the same as our goal for Edgewater; to be a Church who approaches scripture seeking its greatest benefit.
Pastor Douglas Mukisa from New Song Fellowship shared his journey to salvation in Christ and the call of Christ to the slums of Kenya.
Daniel lives a life of difficulty from being ripped from his home as youth, to being thrown to the lions as an old man. It would be natural to ask, “Is this worth it?” Daniel’s book concludes with God telling him this is the end and it is brilliant.
Amos is a prophet who uses his voice for the poor, used, and overlooked. He demonstrates that God cares about justice and gives us the hope of a coming King and Edenic Kingdom that will ultimately remedy the human problem.
A crisis drives Isaiah to the temple and a divine surprise. Isaiah 6 is an incredible portrait of God’s glory and human sin.
Biblical Grit, which is defined in scripture as Christian steadfastness and endurance. This type of Christian grit is full of hope because it has at its core a faith that rests in God's promises, and is empowered by grace.
As we watch our society shift and change it can be easy to want to disengage and run. But is there a better way? Jeremiah the prophet battles this mentality when God gives him the remedy and the recipe for exiles to thrive in Babylon.
What is the Old Testament about? The repetition of sin and failure can get monotonous and confusing. What is the goal? What is the solution? How can a people be changed? Zephaniah gives us the heart of the message of the Old Testament.
Grudges, retaliation, revenge and bitterness are themes in human history. Obadiah’s short prophetic message is a warning to all of us to rid ourselves of the radioactivity of retaliation.
One of the themes in the prophets is their call of exhortation to God’s people. The call can be to get back to Torah observance, or justice or it in case of Haggai to stop procrastinating. We get to learn from how God shepherds His people during periods of “we will do it later” and gain wisdom for our own tendencies.…
Scripture is an epic narrative full of characters, rules, history and miracles. It can be difficult to understand how it applies to our lives and what it means for us to live as those who believe and follow God. Micah helps by giving the most succinct summary of what God wants.
Restore: to bring back to or put back into a former or original state. There might not be a greater truth than God’s ability to restore. It goes further than forgiveness by renewing what was lost or broken. Joel 2 does a prophetic dive into the miraculous work of restoration.
Hosea the prophet’s life and marriage to Gomer the prostitute is both moving and mysterious. There is no happily ever after. Instead we are left to consider how we treat God and if we will be a faithful covenant partner to Him.
The less stable the outside environment the more important it is to have internal stabilization. Paul gives us in this text three practices that, if put into action, can act as internal stabilizers that will help us weather any storm, turbulence, and difficulty.
Nahum is the sequel to Jonah. The Ninevites have repented of their repentance and have become a national bully. God’s longsuffering runs out and in its place is God’s wrath. Nahum forces us to wrestle with how to respond to God’s anger.
Everyone knows the story of Jonah and the whale. However, most of our mental pictures are from Veggie Tales and distort the incredible message of this prophet. Jonah isn’t about Nineveh, whales or dying plants; it is a mirror for the reader's heart.
Ezekiel is one of the most colorful prophets. His actions, words, and visions are both mysterious and marvelous. Chapter one set the tone for the entire book. It is a shock to Ezekiel and a comfort for every person that feels exiled.
When life gets dark can Christians ask why? We looked at three of God’s prophetic voices - Habakkuk, Job and Jeremiah - to learn how to wrestle well in the dark night of the soul.
Daniel’s life is exemplary. He demonstrates how to live in the worst biblical city. He not only endures the attacks but his life changes the city of Babylon. We get wisdom on how to endure our own attacks that come at our bodies, minds, and spirits.
The final chapter of Colossians is personal and practical. Paul names his own Kingdom Team. It begins with Jesus as captain and then includes Jews, Gentiles, males, females, superstars, doctors, felons, and one quitter. The big idea is there’s room for anyone on Team Jesus.
Colossians 3 is all about getting the Kingdom into our lives while pushing out the corrupt culture. The longest practical application is not to marriage or parenting but to our jobs as bosses or bondservants. How we work is one of the greatest ways we demonstrate that our lives are lived for a different kingdom and our priorities are set by a better King.…
Colossians 3 is all about getting the Kingdom into our lives while pushing out the corrupt culture. Paul has what appears to be minimal help for parents but it is actually the condensed core of how to Kingdom parent.
Colossians 3 is all about heaven in and culture out, beginning with our minds and moving to marriage. We, believers, want marriages that are not based on culture’s roller coaster of concepts about marriage; we want Scripture’s timeless truths about how God designed men and women to partner in this wonderful ride called marriage.…
Colossians 3 is all about heaven in and culture out, beginning with our minds and moving to marriage. We, believers, want marriages that are not based on culture's roller coaster of concepts about marriage; we want Scripture's timeless truths about how God designed men and women to partner in this wonderful ride called marriage.…
Colossians 3 contrasts the old way of living with its vices and sins and a Kingdom way. It commands the believer to put off that way of living and gives a detailed portrait. Next, we are reminded of who we are in Christ and then given the Kingdom style that matches “the who” we have become.
Believers are called to be morticians. We are to put to death that which destroys to give place and opportunity for virtue to grow. Colossians three uses the metaphor of death and life as well as clothing to walk us into a flourishing, virtuous life.
Chapter 2 leaves us dead to the kingdom of darkness. Too often, believers stay in this state, missing out on the feasts of kingdom life. Chapter 3 resurrects us and points us to life by seeking the Kingdom, setting our minds above, knowing true life, and holding our hope of glory.
The warning and guarding section of Colossians concludes with three religious traps: legalism, mysticism, and asceticism. Each trap is concluded with a truth to prevent a Christian from these three pitfalls.
Pastors have two primary jobs: guarding and gardening. They are to heap on the fertilizer of God’s Word and guard against bad doctrine. In this section of Colossians, Pastor Paul fertilizes the seed of the Gospel by describing the truths of all who are in Christ.
Pastors have two primary jobs: guarding and gardening. They are to heap on the fertilizer of God’s Word and guard against bad doctrine. In this chapter of Colossians, Pastor Paul guards by naming the dangerous doctrines that are invading the church.
Colossians began with God the Father, focused on Jesus the King and now introduces ministry in the church. While Paul uses himself as the example, all who name Christ as King belong to the priesthood of believers, and what is true of Paul is also true of us.
For two millennia, people have questioned: Who is Jesus? Was He a prophet, teacher, sage, or the Son of God? Colossians dives deep into the nature and personhood of Jesus Christ and unabashedly declares His divinity.
In a culture of shortcuts and life hacks, Scripture confronts us with a time tested slow path to maturity that offers no shortcuts but promises transformation. Colossians begins with two of the basics of our faith: Thanks and Prayer.

A City that was once prospering is in a slow decline because of a decision made by the far-off city of Rome. Into this desperation comes cults, spiritualism, syncretism, and the Good News. The letter to Colossae is a brilliant path through a culture in chaos.
We all have broken pieces in us that cause us to strive to fill the “glory vacuum” in our souls. Doing so is where so much of the conflict in our lives comes from. Paul encourages us to follow after Jesus and see that the way to the top is to become the least.
After Jesus’ teaching on the Kingdom, He then demonstrates He is both the King and the example of a citizen of the Kingdom. Chapter eight presents portraits to instruct and inspire us to follow the example of King Jesus.
Jesus concludes His masterful sermon with a blue collar analogy. Two builders with similar blueprints, materials, methods and effort have drastically different endings because of their choice in foundation. Jesus’ conclusion is simple. The two builders are listeners and the all-important foundation is what they do with Jesus’ words.…
Jesus finishes the Sermon on the Mount with some twos: two paths: two types of leaders, two trees, two types of followers, and two builders. Each of them targets a tendency in the Christian walk and the church community. Jesus warns that there will be church people attempting to enter the Kingdom who He tells to depart from Him in, perhaps, His scariest warning.…
Jesus begins the greatest sermon with the Beatitudes or blessings. Jesus ends with the bewares. We need both or we will simply be plump snacks for the wolves. Jesus has warned us that life has two paths and now He is warning us about bad leaders.
Jesus is concluding His sermon by summarizing and applying His message. He makes it clear that the Golden Rule, verse 12, takes care of all the Old Testament Law and Prophets. It is the right and Godly way of life. Next, Jesus warns if we want to live according to this rule it will be unpopular and hard.…
Jesus tells his disciples to ask, seek, and knock; they will receive, find, and open doors. The statement is unconditional and extends to everyone. Does this mean we can demand that God give us whatever we want? Or find anything that our heart desires? Or force open every door we encounter? Context is king, and Jesus’ sermon interprets this statement.…
Christians are often accused of being judgmental. A favorite retort is to quote Matthew 7:1, saying, “Don’t Judge me!” While there is a partial truth to this response, it must be understood in the context of all that Jesus says. In this section, we get a balanced way to stop condemning through judgment, restore instead, heal, and discern when to speak the truth.…
Scripture is full of wisdom and practical tools you could call anxiety's enemies. Even more than being the antidote to anxiety, these seven tools help all of us live out the brilliant lives that Jesus has purchased for each of us.
Jesus’ sermon is pointing believers toward a way of living that prioritizes being rather than looking and the beatitudes over being comfortable. His perspective produces a kind of life that culminates in Matthew 6:25, “be anxious for nothing”. It is this quality of life that humans resonate with and our current culture wars against.…
Pastor Billy shared what the Lord is doing in India.
Jesus’ sermon is pointing believers toward a way of living that prioritizes being over looking and the beatitudes over being comfortable. His perspective produces a kind of life that culminates in Matthew 6:25, “be anxious for nothing”. It is this quality of life that humans resonate with and our current culture wars against.…
Matthew 6 probes the motives of the human heart. Are its actions staged to be seen, or do they come from a genuine inner source? Jesus uses prayer, giving, and fasting to evaluate our spiritual life and then turns to money for our public life.
Prayer – what subject has more intrigue and difficulty? Jesus in Matthew 6 gives a model of prayer that a child understands and scholars can study. Before His model prayer, Jesus instructs us to not pray to impress people or think we need to work to get our Heavenly Father’s attention. Instead He knows what we need before we ask. Jesus’ model prayer is worship of God then our wishlist of bread, forgiveness and protection.…
Jesus has taught there are six evils that interfere with the kingdom (anger, lust, divorce, lying, vengeance, and hatred). Now, Jesus goes inside the believer to demonstrate that good works like giving, praying, and fasting done for the wrong reasons are even more dangerous.
In Matthew 5, Jesus makes six statements clarifying the Kingdom. In this week's teaching, He makes the hardest of all requests; He tells His followers to love their neighbors and their enemies. He defines love as praying, greeting, and doing good like their heavenly Father.
There are many times in our lives—and we never know when they will strike—when suddenly the wind gets up and the sea becomes rough. But if we listen, through the roar of the waves and the wind, we may hear the voice that says, ‘It is I—don’t be afraid.’ And if we are ready then to take Jesus on board, we may find ourselves, sooner than we expected, at the harbor where we will be calm and secure once more.…
Basic human nature responds to aggression by fight or flight. Neither of these responses build community or have positive results. Jesus gives a third way to respond to aggressive behavior that provides the environment to both reduce violence in the aggressor and gives the victim an opportunity to respond with dignity and strength.…
Words in Scripture have power to create. Truthful words create reality and trust. Lies create ruin and broken relationships and are from the evil one himself. Jesus’ mandate for believers is to become the kind of people whose yes is yes, and no is no.
First, it was anger, then lust, and now Jesus talks about divorce. We probably wouldn't have divorced if we had dealt with anger and lust. Divorce, however, is a reality going back to the time of Moses, and churches must grapple with how to prevent divorce and care for those in its wake.
Every good and perfect gift comes from the Father. Humanity has taken these good gifts; instead of enjoying them, we have abused them. Sex is one such gift that we have turned into lust and Jesus says it turns the gift into a living hell. His solution is to cut off any avenue that opens our lives toward lust.…
Jesus begins one of the longest sections in His sermon. He looks at the Law and gives us our Creator’s intention for that law. Jesus begins with murder and dissects it to display anger as the source of murder. Jesus then puts a priority in the kingdom that exceeds the checklist of the religious by teaching that it is not enough to be innocent of murder; we need to become reconcilers.…
What is this book we call the Bible? The average person may view the Bible as “the good book”, professors see it as a myth, critics see it as a tool used to control the masses, and modern deconstructing Christians see it as a buffet to pick and choose. In the midst of all the modern opinions, the most important and fascinating view is how Jesus sees the Bible.…
In the context of the Beatitudes, Jesus tells us what we are and what we should be doing. We are salt and light. We don’t try to be these two; we are these two, and because of who we are, our lives must be engaged in glory-giving works. Jesus warns there are two thieves who destroy our good works, and we must be vigilant to guard against them.…
Jesus opens His first recorded sermon with an attention getter. He declares to all who would listen that the path to blessedness is a road less traveled. In stark contrast to the culture of the day that took health, wealth, and power as signs of God’s blessings, Jesus says it is the spiritual bankrupt, grieving, powerlessness door mats that have the keys to blessings and happiness.…
If we want to rebuild, there will be a battle. It doesn’t matter if we are closing our personal gates to evil or helping a community recover their protection from it; the enemy of our faith will attempt to stop the good work. Nehemiah leads us through a Godly way of dealing with the attacks and persevering through the battle to continue building the wall.…
In this passage, Jesus shows us that forgiveness is more than just a nice gesture. It is an essential part of being a follower of Christ. We have all been forgiven a debt we cannot pay, and we should show the same mercy to others. When we refuse to forgive, we are revealing that we have excluded ourselves from the community of sinners - Jesus says that is wickedness.…
We are living in a time where faith, family and community have been eroded. In order for any town to be changed there needs to be miraculous reviving of these three values. Nehemiah has revived the faith of Jerusalem in chapters 1-2 and now he oversees a united community ready to rebuild.
Life is fullest when we take the right risks. We will watch Nehemiah put it all on the line for the vision God had refined through four months of prayer and fasting. We will also note that his prayer time was matched with his diligent planning. If we desire to attempt great things for God we have a brilliant template in Nehemiah Chapter Two.…
We struggle making decisions. We struggle to know the wise right path. We struggle knowing what mission God has called us to partner with Him in this broken world. Nehemiah demonstrates a profound yet practical way to guide us to our Right Calling.
The book of Nehemiah opens with a report about a desperate situation in the city of Jerusalem. The people are in great trouble and shame and the wall and gates of the city are gone. There is no hope, no plans, no future, and no good in their situation. God, beginning with this report, will do a great work in the city of Jerusalem.…
The fuel for the Christian life is Scripture. We are to be people of the book. The Bible is to be read, studied, meditated upon, and memorized. Each of these provide a balanced diet to enduringly run the race that is set before us.
A way our enemy caricatures Christianity is to paint us as fun haters. By no means is this a new tactic but stretches back to the origins of our Faith. The answer is to take a 30,000 feet view of Scripture to see the constant desire God has to be generous and bless His people with joyful celebration.…
Motives mold us and the practice of secrecy can refine our motives and prevent us from becoming modern Pharisees who only care about appearing whitewashed. Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount refines the practices of giving, praying, and fasting toward secrecy to prevent the destructiveness of only outward conformity.…
We all feel the increase in the pace of life. With that pace we have the ability to be informed or entertained 24/7. Today there are less margins for waiting and most of us would define cruel and unusual punishment as being bored. Jesus’ life and comments to Martha offer a new narrative about how to live.…
Americans have a love hate relationship with rest. The protestant work ethic is weaved into the DNA of our country and while it is a good servant it can become a terrible master. The gift of Sabbath is a means of grace to tame our work to serve us instead of destroy us.
We realize our lives are perfectly designed for the results we are getting and so each New Year we make resolutions for different results. Edgewater’s duty is to teach a lifestyle or a Way that results in Christ being formed in us. Sunday we discussed the difficulty in our culture to forming practices as well as the goal for any spiritual activity for the believer.…
Philippians concludes with a brilliant understanding of the place for riches. Paul says the goal isn’t to be rich or poor but to learn to be content. He goes on to say the money is trouble’s kryptonite and can bring about incredible fruit for the giver and for God’s Kingdom.
It can be argued that we are the most anxious and stressed generation in history. Philippians 4:1-9 is the divine cure for our problems. We must remember the good, choose to rejoice in hardship, pray with thanksgiving and train our brains to THJPLCEP.
Scripture would agree with the idea that life is a journey not a destination. Often we get robbed of joy on the journey because we are focused on a mirage of a destination. Paul gives us traveling instructions on how to enjoy the ride of life as we focus on the real destination for the follow of Jesus Christ.…
Jesus is invited to dine with the “in crowd” of religious rulers. It is an attempt to set Him up, discredit Him and bring Him down. Instead Jesus uses the opportunity to teach us about wisdom, humility and the inclusivity of the Kingdom.
Happiness is a treasure that people will try to steal. Philippians 3 warns us to look out for three types of thieves. Even better, Philippians 3 arms us with truth and Paul’s testimony to create in us a bulletproof faith that allows us to rejoice in the Lord.
