PQ for Christians
Welcome to PQ for Christians, a global podcast exploring the intersection of Positive Intelligence (PQ) and Christian spirituality. This podcast brings together believers from across 26 countries and a variety of Christian traditions to engage in a transformative journey of mental fitness, faith, and personal renewal.
Each episode unpacks how Shirzad Chamine’s Positive Intelligence framework aligns with biblical principles, helping Christians move beyond self-sabotaging thoughts and embrace a renewed mind in Christ (Romans 12:2). Through deep conversations, personal insights, and practical applications, we explore themes of:
✅ Renewing the mind – Overcoming fear, doubt, and judgment through faith and mental fitness
✅ Living in the True Self – Identifying and healing saboteurs while embracing your God-given identity
✅ Bridging faith and neuroscience – Exploring how spiritual growth and cognitive science work together
✅ A global Christian conversation – Uniting believers from diverse backgrounds in a shared journey
✅ Christlike living – Applying PQ insights to ministry, relationships, and daily life
Whether you're a Christian leader, coach, or someone seeking a stronger, more resilient faith, this podcast invites you into a supportive and inclusive space where transformation happens. Join the conversation and discover how mental fitness and faith can reshape your life, leadership, and walk with God.
PQ for Christians is proudly sponsored by The Center for Biblical Coaching and Leadership (TCBCL)—equipping believers and leaders with biblically centered coaching and leadership training for personal, organizational, and church renewal.
Tune in and take the next step toward wholeness in Christ!

Walking with Christ on the Road Contemplation
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You can walk for miles with a heavy heart and still miss the fact that you’re accompanied. We guide a short, quiet contemplation rooted in Luke 24 and the Road to Emmaus, slowing everything down until your body settles and your attention returns.
From there, we step onto the Emmaus Road in imagination and notice what we’re carrying right now: disappointments, hopes, fears, and the inner conversations that never quite stop. Then Jesus draws near without correcting or rushing, and he asks the question that cuts through noise: “What are you discussing as you walk along?” We sit with that prompt long enough to answer honestly, without filtering, and to experience prayer as being listened to rather than evaluated.
The scene shifts to the table where bread is taken, blessed, broken, and shared. We watch for what opens inside us not through striving, but through presence: warmth, clarity, peace, or even a small quiet shift that signals we’re not alone. When you finish, you’ll leave with one practical question to carry into your day: Where might Christ already be walking with you, and what have you not recognized?

Grounding Through Body Awareness
Sensing God Close And Near
Entering The Road To Emmaus
SPEAKER_00We're gonna focus on walking with Christ on the road today. We had a member that was inspired by this, and we'll get more insight on this later. So this contemplation is really focused on the emeralds road. Before we get started, need to put your feet flat on the ground, wiggle your toes, feel your toes. Feel gravity pulling all the tension that's away from your body right now. It's pulling it all downward. And just be ready to receive. I want you to take a slow deep breath. Let your body settle. Allow yourself to arrive, not just physically, but inwardly. Gently become aware of God's presence with us. Not distant, but near, closer than your breath. Jesus Himself came up and walked along with them. Luke twenty four fifteen. You're not alone on the road you're walking. Now imagine yourself on the road to Emmaus.
SPEAKER_01Notice what you are carrying today. Your disappointments, your hopes, your fears.
SPEAKER_00Now Jesus draws near and begins walking with you. Not correcting.
SPEAKER_01Just present.
SPEAKER_00He asks, What are you discussing as you walk along? Luke twenty four seventeen. Let that question rest.
SPEAKER_01What are you discussing? What's on your heart today?
SPEAKER_00What conversation have you been having within yourself? There's no need to filter the response.
The Table And The Broken Bread
SPEAKER_01Speak honestly, or simply notice. Jesus is listening fully, gently without interruptions. We're seated at the table with him.
SPEAKER_00When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it, and began to give it out to them. Luke twenty four and thirty. Notice Jesus' movements unhurried, attentional and present.
SPEAKER_01Something begins to open within you. Their eyes were opened. Luke twenty four thirty-one. Stay here for a moment. Not through striving, but through presence, through being. Let your heart respond.
SPEAKER_00Luke twenty four thirty two. Notice any warmth clarity.
SPEAKER_01Peace.
SPEAKER_00Now gently return your awareness to this moment.
SPEAKER_01You have walked with Jesus.
SPEAKER_00You have sat with Jesus. You have received from Jesus.
SPEAKER_01What do you notice now?
SPEAKER_00Perhaps nothing dramatic, just a subtle shift. A quiet awareness that he's been walking with you all along. And as we move through our meeting, carry this question with you. Where might Christ be walking with you? What have I not recognized? And when you're ready, return back. Turn your cameras on.
