Quotient Week 5

"I Will Increase CQ As I Seek You"

Icebreaker

Name something you built when you were a child that you can still remember. What was it, and how do you feel when you think about it?

Talk About It Questions

Part I. Read Genesis 1:27-28 and Talk About It

1. In what area of your life do you most naturally feel creative, whether it’s cooking, problem-solving, construction, organizing, art, music, parenting, leadership, etc.?
2. Share a recent moment when you created something meaningful. How did that connect with or reflect God’s image in and through you?

Part II. Read John 1:12 and Talk About It

1. God made you in His image before you ever did anything, and now by faith you are His child. What lies do you sometimes believe about your identity, and what truths from scripture do you need to reclaim about simply being God’s child?
2. How would your creativity quotient look different if you first rested in the truth of who you are before doing what you do?

Part III. Read James 1:22 and Talk About It

1. Where are you tempted to settle for “thinking about” or “planning” instead of actually doing what God asks?
2. Where is God calling you to subdue, to do something fruitful right now, whether in your family, work, relationships, or ministry?
3. What action step will you take this week?

Part IV. Read Genesis 1:28 and Matthew 6:33 and Talk About It

1. God’s order is BE → DO → HAVE. How have you seen your life get out of order when you’ve chased having first (money, success, recognition) before being and doing?
2. What role does trust play in the outcome?

Part V. Read Exodus 31:1-6 and Talk About It

1. God’s Spirit gave Bezalel wisdom and skill for creativity. What’s an area in your work, home, or ministry where you need the Spirit’s creativity to break out of “AI slop” and dullness and into excellence in creativity?
2. How will you invite Him into that space this week?
3. How are you tempted to outsource too much to AI?

Part VI. Read Ephesians 2:10 and Talk About It

1. Where do you feel you’ve been living more like a copy-and-paste version of yourself instead of stepping into your God-given masterpiece design?
2. What can you do in the next two weeks to increase your creative quotient (at work, home, and play), and how could engaging in that improve your life?
