In our March PQ for Christians gathering, we continued the conversation that began in February around the Positive Intelligence (PQ) tool of Accept or Convert. But this time we asked a deeper and more sacred question: How do we invite God into the Accept or Convert process?

What began as a coaching conversation quickly became a spiritual encounter. Together, we explored how prayer, pause, and discernment open the door for the Holy Spirit to guide our decisions, release offenses, and transform our responses to life’s challenges. Drawing from the biblical example of David inquiring of the Lord and Christ’s prayer of surrender in the Garden of Gethsemane, the community reflected on how true acceptance and conversion are not merely mental strategies, but acts of trust rooted in God’s presence and love.

Participants shared personal stories of navigating uncertainty, learning to distinguish between saboteur-driven reactions and Spirit-led guidance, and discovering the peace that comes when our decisions align with God’s will. Through Scripture, prayer, and contemplative reflection—including a river meditation, the group practiced releasing burdens and allowing God’s presence to carry what we cannot.

In this powerful conversation, we explored:

• How to invite God into the Accept or Convert process
• The difference between saboteur reactions and Holy Spirit discernment
• Why pausing in prayer creates space for clarity and peace
• How Christ’s example of kenosis (self-emptying) models surrender and trust
• The role of community, prayer, and contemplative practice in spiritual growth

This episode is an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and allow God to guide the moments where we must choose whether to accept what is or convert toward something new.
