Where Spiritual Wisdom Meets mental fitness
Traditional spiritual disciplines and Positive Intelligence® (PQ®) are two sides of the same coin. While faith provides the compass, PQ provides the muscle to stay on the path without being hijacked by stress or self-doubt.
Here is why this intersection is vital for your leadership:
Renewing the Mind: Scripture calls us to be “transformed by the renewing of your mind.” PQ provides the practical, neurological tools to actually disrupt the “old self” (Saboteurs) and pivot to the “new self” (the Sage).
Discernment vs. Judgment: We are taught to discern, yet we often fall into the trap of judgment—of ourselves and our congregations. PQ helps you separate the two, allowing you to lead with “the mind of Christ” rather than the voice of the Inner Critic.
Stewardship of Energy: Your ministry is a marathon, not a sprint. By strengthening your mental fitness, you move from “striving in the flesh” (burnout) to operating out of a place of “Sabbath rest” and focused, spiritual clarity.
Empathetic Leadership: PQ strengthens the same neural pathways used for empathy and compassion. It turns the command to “love your neighbor as yourself” into a lived reality by lowering the volume on the Saboteurs that trigger defensiveness and conflict.
My wife and church members could see a change in me.
“Like most people in ministry, I have faced both personal and professional challenges over the pandemic years. I found myself in need of a change as I regularly felt drained and unsure of how to move forward in ministry. I knew something needed to change but I did not know what that was. As we practiced our PQ reps during the week, I noticed a change in my demeanor, but more importantly, my wife and church members could see a change in me. I believe that if more ministers had the PQ tools in their ministerial toolbox, churches and ministers’ families would look a lot healthier. Positive Intelligence has made a significant difference in my life and ministry, and I believe it would do the same for everyone who takes it seriously and incorporates its principles into their daily lives.”
Participating in PQ® has changed my life.
“When I was invited to participate in the PQ program, I was feeling overwhelmed and on the brink of burnout in ministry. As I participated in the program, my perspective began to shift. Challenges were no longer obstacles to overcome, but rather opportunities to embrace and learn from. On a personal level, participating in PQ has changed my life. I am more at peace with my life and relationships. I am more free to explore and innovate in ministry.
has me feeling like a butterfly!
“I feel like I have been living my whole life in a cocoon and this program provided the transformation that now has me feeling like a butterfly!”
