The sq edge: leadership redefined Replays
Session 1 - Foundations of SQ (LIVE)
Recap:
Session 1's training on the Foundations of Spiritual Intelligence (SQ) was transformative.
We explored the core of what it means to lead with SQ—leading not just with skill (IQ) or emotional awareness (EQ), but with divine alignment to Heaven’s principles.
Here’s what we covered:
What is SQ?
The ability to discern divine wisdom and lead with clarity, conviction, and Kingdom impact.
Why does it matter?
Leadership today requires going beyond the natural into the supernatural. SQ equips leaders to break spiritual barriers, shepherd others into their calling, and reflect Heaven's standards in every decision.
The Five Core Pillars of SQ:
Divine Discernment: Seeing what others can’t by hearing God’s voice clearly.
Kingdom Vision: Leading with eternity in mind and aligning actions with God’s purpose.
Purposeful Stewardship: Managing resources, relationships, and influence with excellence.
Redemptive Resilience: Thriving through trials with a Kingdom perspective.
Alignment to Calling: Leading confidently from your God-given purpose.
The feedback and engagement were incredible, with participants stepping into a deeper understanding of their authority as Kingdom leaders.
Here’s a thought to reflect on:
"Are you leading from the natural or governing from the supernatural? True impact comes when we align our leadership with the wisdom and authority of Heaven."
Session 1b - Foundations of SQ (Additional Insight)
Recap:
Hey guys as I was putting together this teaching I had a couple different sets of notes. I felt like there were important dynamics in both so I went ahead and recorded this extra session with those additional notes.
- Be blessed and lead boldly.
Session 2 - Authority of Sonship
Recap:
Session 2: The Authority of Sonship was a powerful continuation of the Spiritual Intelligence (SQ) journey.
We delved into the transformative truth that Kingdom leadership begins with identity and flows from the authority of sonship. Participants were challenged to shift their leadership from striving to governing, aligning with Heaven’s design for impact and influence.
Here’s what we covered:
What is the Authority of Sonship?
The authority that comes from knowing and embracing your identity as a child of God. Sons don’t strive for approval—they lead from acceptance and inheritance.
Why does it matter?
Without stepping into sonship, leaders default to operating as orphans—striving, controlling, and fearing loss. Sonship empowers leaders to govern boldly, steward faithfully, and reflect Heaven’s heart in every decision.
Key Themes from the Session:
Understanding Sonship and Governance:Orphans strive; sons rest in their Father’s authority.
Biblical Example: Jesus at His Baptism (Matthew 3:16-17) – His ministry began with affirmation, not performance.
Moving From Management to Governance:Management maintains; governance advances the Kingdom.
Biblical Examples: David preparing Solomon (1 Chronicles 22:6-12) – imparting wisdom and vision.King Saul’s insecurity (1 Samuel 18:6-9) – the danger of leading from fear.
Mentoring as a Kingdom Father or Mother: Leadership isn’t about control—it’s about empowering others to walk in their calling.
Biblical Examples: Paul mentoring Timothy (2 Timothy 2:2) – multiplying the mission.
Eli’s failure with his sons (1 Samuel 2:12-17) – the cost of neglecting to raise the next generation.
Reflection Thought:
“Are you leading as a manager—preserving and striving—or as a son, advancing with boldness and trust in your inheritance?”
Session 3 - Divine Discernment
Recap:
This session was a powerful deep dive into the supernatural capacity of divine discernment and why leadership requires more than just wisdom—it demands a heart expansive enough to steward Heaven’s strategy.
We confronted the limitations of narrow-hearted leadership and explored how largeness of heart is not ambition, but stewardship in relationship.
Highlights
What is Largeness of Heart?
A supernatural expansion of capacity, clarity, and compassion that allows leaders to steward complex assignments without compromise or confusion. Solomon didn’t just have wisdom—he had the heart to hold and govern it.
Why does it matter?
Wisdom without capacity is like a flood without a riverbank—powerful, but uncontrolled. Many leaders today seek strategy, but few have the heart required to sustain Kingdom-level influence.
Key Themes from the Session:
Divine Discernment as a Leadership Mandate
Discernment is not just about making decisions—it’s about governing people, seasons, and atmospheres with Heaven’s intelligence.
Solomon ruled with an expansive heart, allowing him to lead with both justice and mercy.
Biblical Foundation:
1 Kings 4:29 – “And God gave Solomon wisdom and exceedingly great understanding, and largeness of heart like the sand on the seashore.”
1 Chronicles 4:10 – The Prayer of Jabez: Expansion requires God’s hand to remain upon you.
The Two Mothers Case Study (1 Kings 3:16-28)
Solomon’s discernment was not human logic—it was divine intelligence revealing truth through the condition of the heart.
Real leadership exposes hidden motives and restores justice, not just order.
Barriers to Divine Discernment
Pride – Assumes it already knows the answer; refuses to seek Heaven’s wisdom.
Fear – Shrinks capacity, making leadership reactionary instead of revelatory.
Distraction – Noise drowns out discernment; busyness is not fruitfulness.
The Prayer of Jabez – Enlarging Heart and Territory
Enlargement is both a blessing and a burden—are you ready to carry what you are asking for?
Capacity first, then expansion—Solomon’s kingdom flourished because his heart was prepared first.
Reflection Thought:
“Are you leading from reaction, or revelation? Are you governing with Heaven’s intelligence, or human limitation?”
Call to Action:
✅ Journal about where you need greater capacity to steward discernment in your leadership.
✅ Identify one area of your leadership where fear, pride, or distraction has limited your clarity.
✅ Ask God to enlarge your heart before He enlarges your influence.
🔥 Those who lead with largeness of heart will not just succeed—they will establish unshakable dominion.
Session 4 - Cultivating Kingdom Vision
Recap:
This session was a transformational deep dive into the necessity of Kingdom Vision for leaders who refuse to be led by circumstances but instead govern by revelation.
We built upon the foundation of Largeness of Heart by confronting the critical question: What good is expanded capacity if there is no vision to direct it? Many leaders have the heart to carry more, yet their sight remains too small to steward it effectively.
Highlights
What is Kingdom Vision?
Kingdom Vision is the ability to see beyond immediate goals into God's eternal purpose. It is not reactive leadership—it is governance that prioritizes Heaven's agenda over temporary success.
Matthew 6:33 establishes the blueprint: "Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you."
Leaders either move by sight or move by vision—one is bound by circumstances, the other is fueled by revelation.
Why does it matter?
Vision determines the direction of your leadership. If your heart has been enlarged but your vision remains narrow, you are carrying capacity with no Kingdom direction.
Vision must match capacity. Otherwise, you will either:
- Drift without purpose (large capacity, no vision).
Collapse under the weight of misalignment (vision that exceeds your divine assignment).
Key Themes from the Session:
1. Capacity Without Vision Leads to Wasted Potential
- If God has enlarged your heart but you still think small, you are mismanaging divine investment.
- Vision directs the flow of leadership so that nothing is squandered.
2. Priority vs. Preeminence in Leadership
- Many leaders make the Kingdom a priority—one item on a list.
- Kingdom Vision demands preeminence—it must govern every decision, strategy, and direction.
3. The Three Leadership Failures That Reveal Visionary Misalignment:
- King Joash – Had borrowed vision but no personal revelation. When external guidance disappeared, his leadership collapsed.
- King Amaziah – Had divided vision. He started well but compromised his focus, mixing God’s calling with personal ambition.
- King Uzziah – Had corrupted vision. He mistook enlarged capacity for expanded authority, stepping beyond his divine assignment.
4. Walking by Faith-Vision Instead of Sight
- Leaders with sight are reactionary, moved by external circumstances.
- Leaders with Kingdom Vision govern from revelation, seeing beyond the natural into what God has established.
Reflection Thought:
Are you leading by sight—bound by what is visible—or by vision, stewarding what has already been revealed in the Spirit?
Call to Action:
- Identify areas where God has enlarged your capacity but your vision has remained small.
- Assess whether you have borrowed, divided, or corrupted vision.
- Commit to walking in Kingdom Vision, ensuring your leadership is not just expanding, but moving in divine alignment.
This session was an activation into governing with clarity, stewarding expanded capacity with precision, and ensuring every step is led by divine strategy—not human limitation.
