Robin Williams said, "I used to think that the worst thing in life was to end up alone. It's not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel alone."
�You will remember some of what you hear, and you will remember more of what you see, but you will never forget the way someone makes you feel!

Most of us understand IQ—our ability to reason and solve problems. And many of us have heard of EQ—our ability to emotionally connect and think from the heart.

But what about SQ?

Spiritual intelligence is learning to think from the Spirit of God.

I’m not talking about thinking from your own spirit. I’m talking about learning to access the mind of Christ through the Holy Spirit.

First Corinthians 2 tells us that the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. And then Paul makes this incredible statement: “We have the mind of Christ.”

God knows what you don’t know. He knows the person, the problem, the past, and the future.

The question is: are we learning to listen?

I unpack this much more in my message Moving from AI to SQ.

Dating has never offered more options—and somehow, finding meaningful connection has never felt more complicated.

Fear, unrealistic expectations, and the pressure to find the “perfect” person can keep us from taking the relational risks required to build something real.

In the latest episode of Cultural Catalysts, Kris sits down with Elles and Daniel Maddry of Moral Revolution for a candid—and hilarious—conversation about attraction, healthy pursuit, courage, character, and what it takes to build a relationship that can actually last.

Most things that are perfect are lifeless, mechanical, plastic replicas of the real thing. Many people live a photoshopped life; flaws, frailties, and weaknesses masked by pretend smilies, carefully crafted words, and finely polished imagines.

There is certain inherit beauty in real life; worn patterns in wood floors that reveal pathways and passions...marks on thresholds marred by those who’s lives toil there.

I visited Winston Churchill’s home 15 years ago; it is a large rustic mansion, with hand hued beams and plank floors.

Many tourist were impressed by the trophies that filled the cabinets that hung in many of the rooms.

Personally, I was drawn to the worn places in certain rooms where Churchill must have walked and knelt often. A discolored leather chair captured my attention where Winston sat a lot. I imaged him seated there during those tough war torn days, contemplating and praying for wisdom...or pacing the floor in deep thought.

A well used desk stood proudly in a den that once served as the place Churchill crafted many of his speeches. I was overwhelmed by a sense of nobility that filled the room.

I loved that the home was lived in...imperfect, marred, scared, and worn. There was a intrinsic beauty about the old mansion...walls that told stories, floors that whispered secrets...antique furniture that begged to reveal mysteries.

I sat on a bench outside his front door for a long time just reflecting on the revelation that was seeping into my soul by simply being in the same space that once occupied by a broken, but great man.

I like my machines; iPad, car and computer to be perfect, shiny and flawless. But the beauty of humanity lies in flaws, frailties and weaknesses. Real might be rustic but at least it’s alive and not robotic, programmed, and predictable.

The power of the Jezebel Spirit

Now Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword. Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “So may the gods do to me and even more, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.” And he was afraid and arose and ran for his life and came to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there. But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree; and he requested for himself that he might die, and said, “It is enough; now, O LORD, take my life, for I am not better than my fathers.” He lay down and slept under a juniper tree; and behold, there was an angel touching him, and he said to him, “Arise, eat.” When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave.

Behold, a voice came to him and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” Then he said, “I have been very zealous for the LORD, the God of hosts; for the sons of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars and killed Your prophets with the sword. And I alone am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.””
‭‭1 Kings‬ ‭19‬:‭1‬-‭5‬, ‭13‬-‭14‬

If you are suffering from these things, you MIGHT be warring with a Jezebel spirit:
1- depression
2- fatigue
3- suicidal thoughts
4- exhaustion
5- disorientation
6- hopeless
7- disillusionment
8- discouragement
9- feeling overwhelmed
10- anxiety or panic
11- irrational perspectives
12- any other negative mental or emotional condition...

5-things that helped pull Elijah out of depression:
1- Get some sleep
2- Eat some good, healthy food.
3- Have an encounter with God.
4-Find a close friend to help you.
5-Get back to your calling.

Sometimes we’re asking God for more clarity while He’s waiting for our response to what He already said. Obedience creates capacity for trust—and trust makes room for greater revelation.

Which part challenges you more: hearing what God is saying, or obeying what you hear?

“For if you were to have countless tutors in Christ, yet you would not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel. Therefore I exhort you, be imitators of me. For this reason I have sent to you Timothy, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, and he will remind you of my ways which are in Christ, just as I teach everywhere in every church. Now some have become arrogant, as though I were not coming to you. But I will come to you soon, if the Lord wills, and I shall find out, not the words of those who are arrogant but their power. For the kingdom of God does not consist in words but in power.” 1 Corinthians 4:15-20

A powerless gospel is a different gospel- Jesus is the Creator of the universes who still does the impossible!

If you're building two LEGO® models at the same time, it's easy to accidentally put the right piece on the wrong model. And here's the thing — that piece can still be valuable and well-designed, but if it's in the wrong place, it looks awkward or just won't fit. Worse, the model it actually belongs to is left incomplete.

We do the same thing when we compare our calling to someone else's calling.

God designed each of us with a particular purpose and a particular place in the Body of Christ. A foot doesn't need to become a hand. An ear doesn't need to become an eye. We become powerful when we stop trying to occupy someone else's place — and start showing up fully in our own.

"If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be?... But now God has placed the members, each one of them, in the body, just as He desired." — 1 Corinthians 12:14-20

You are not a misplaced piece. God designed you for a specific place, and the Body needs you there.

We often look for prophecy in the words spoken over us, but sometimes the clearest prophetic message is found in the story God is writing through us.

The children of Israel came out of Egypt and were delivered from the power of Pharaoh by the power of God. Their story revealed what God was doing—and sometimes, yours does too.

Your journey may be revealing more than you realize. Your life is preaching a message, even when you don’t fully understand it yet.
