Some researchers, like Dan King, define SI as a set of mental capacities that enable individuals to comprehend and apply non-material and transcendent aspects of existence. Others, like Mark Vernon, emphasize its dispositional nature, highlighting its role in guiding individuals towards the good, shaping their experience of time, and fostering societal well-being.2024-12-1319 minGateway Church\'s PodcastGateway Church's PodcastRunning on EmptyAuthor, speaker, and president of The King’s University, Dr. Irini Fambro, reminds us that the moments when we feel overwhelmed or inadequate are opportunities opening up space for God to create overflow and abundance.2024-03-1833 minGateway Church\'s PodcastGateway Church's PodcastRunning on EmptyAuthor, speaker, and president of The King’s University, Dr. Irini Fambro, reminds us that the moments when we feel overwhelmed or inadequate are opportunities opening up space for God to create overflow and abundance.2024-03-1833 minGateway Church\'s PodcastGateway Church's PodcastRunning on EmptyAuthor, speaker, and president of The King’s University, Dr. Irini Fambro, reminds us that the moments when we feel overwhelmed or inadequate are opportunities opening up space for God to create overflow and abundance.2024-03-1833 minGateway Church\'s PodcastGateway Church's PodcastRunning on EmptyAuthor, speaker, and president of The King’s University, Dr. Irini Fambro, reminds us that the moments when we feel overwhelmed or inadequate are opportunities opening up space for God to create overflow and abundance.2024-03-1833 minGateway Church\'s PodcastGateway Church's PodcastRunning on EmptyAuthor, speaker, and president of The King’s University, Dr. Irini Fambro, reminds us that the moments when we feel overwhelmed or inadequate are opportunities opening up space for God to create overflow and abundance.2024-03-1833 minSmarter Than You ThinkSmarter Than You ThinkCan You Believe It?As we cross the finish line of the second season I'd like to leave you with an invitation. I invite you to ask the Lord to tell you what He thinks about you. More than that, I invite you to believe Him.

So on today’s episode, Hannah Morris sits down with me to talk about the conclusions we make versus the truth God wants us to know about ourselves.If you’re a human, you’ve had to encounter a lie about yourself.

Jenna RaineFormal education is hardly the be-all end-all for intelligence. It's not even the starting place. Of course, there are various ways in which we learn and are educated to pursue what God has called us to pursue. But if we think all of those ways to learn are only housed in the package of a college program, we'd be sadly mistaken. That's because God has made each of us uniquely suited for the purposes He's called us to and that requires an education that matches; often one you can't get on paper.As we finish our conversation...2023-05-0332 minSmarter Than You ThinkSmarter Than You ThinkThe Lie of Feeling Behind feat. Jenna RaineEach time we believe a lie about ourselves we're actually rejecting an invitation to know truth. The invitation to believe you're behind somehow is no different. You're brilliant in specific ways God has called you to be, smart in ways no one else can be, and exactly in time with His purposes in your life. And what if your intelligence looks different than the "smart" you see around you? That's why I wanted to bring a friend on today (and next week) who is intelligent and confident in ways only the Lord can give. If you don't...2023-04-2633 minSmarter Than You ThinkSmarter Than You ThinkThe Lie of "I'm Not Enough"A rainbow isn’t just your favorite color in it or the one that seems brightest. No different, you are not one thing, gifting, attribute, character trait, or ability. But the lies of who you are and aren’t start harassing you early and they don’t let up when you’re an adult. That’s why we have to have to sift and sort through what we’ve believed to be true about us and our intelligence. Today, I have one of my great and longtime friends, Deana Morgan on with me. We’re going to unp...2023-04-1933 minSmarter Than You ThinkSmarter Than You ThinkThe Lie of Being Too MuchIt’s no secret the enemy likes to peddle lies— especially when it comes to how we think about ourselves. Intelligence is not quantified by test scores or diplomas although most of us might have a hard time truly believing that.If that’s hard for you to believe, I get it. I’ve believed plenty of lies myself in the area of intelligence. But today, we’re taking the lid off of my story and those lies so we can see some truth together.

WELCOME TO SEASON 2! I’ve been so encouraged by all the questions, convos, and feedback since Season 1  … It’s clear how important this conversation is to have and I’m so excited to continue it. Today, I think it’s important for us to reset the table somewhat. Understanding how God has gifted us in intelligence is wonderfully important, but it’s not the same as understanding our identity— we only find that when we know who God is and what He does for us.Who we are is all based on who He is.

Because culture may be prodding many into deconstructing their faith, but it's not leading people through it. So today we're talking about it. God's not intimated by the conversation so we won't be either. The fact is this: when you feel disconnected, ungrounded or like you're wandering, unstable, and searching ... God says, "There's a place for that. I've got you. Your questions are safe, I promise.

But I promise by the end of this episode you'll have a tangible grasp of how to pull this intelligence into every part of your life. But how do we steward what God is communicating through the intuition, instinct, and counsel He gives through the Holy Spirit? What if you had a relationship with that "gut-feeling" you lean on? You can and He's ready meet you in each room. Today's conversation is an illuminating one I hope you don't miss.

Continuing in an established culture, however unhealthy, is a lot easier than shifting it and that's a reality we have to face. Don't worry, we'll face it together.Our challenge today is to be a disruptor of unhealthy and dysfunctional culture. So what does it look like to do something d...2022-08-0534 minSmarter Than You ThinkSmarter Than You ThinkEp. 20 Drowning in an “AGAINST” CultureCultures truly exist everywhere. Whatever "norms" your friend group has, how your family functions and relates to each other, even the hierarchy of who in a meeting is allowed to speak and when- it's all culture. But what do we do when we discover unhealthy places of settled culture in our lives? Truthfully, you can't steward what you won't claim to own and you can't change environments you're not invested in. If you want to affect the cultures around you then you have to look at what you bring to them. In today's episode, we're taking some r...2022-07-2932 minSmarter Than You ThinkSmarter Than You ThinkEp.19 More Than CultureGod hasn't made us to be victims of culture. Isn't that a wonderful thing? Instead, we're called to sense, steward, and influence the cultures where we exist. We have authority and a real responsibility to engage, and not passively, wherever we are. We're made to build bridges, to understand instead of judge, and to thrive in beautifully diverse environments. Don't forget, you're the gift.

Don't worry, both are correct! Today, we're continuing our chat and looking at how to employ the variety time offers us in experience, perspective, and history. Our organizations, our lives in general, benefit from a variety of contributors differing in age and background. Think about members of your team, family, friend group, or serving community ... There is a buffet of brilliance you can pull from and steward if you're willing. This is just our starting place, so let's begin! As...2022-07-1536 minSmarter Than You ThinkSmarter Than You ThinkEp.17 Your Time is Multi-DimensionalTiming. As much as we try to get away from its importance we just can't. The unavoidable truth is: Your past affects your present and your present sets a course for your future. Now if that last sentence stressed you out, just simply take a breath. We're talking about some truly good news today. God is not bound to our finite understanding of linear timing. His timing supersedes what we understand and I'm so grateful for that. You know what's beautiful? God is willing to sit with each of us and bring understanding to our past while i...2022-07-0833 minSmarter Than You ThinkSmarter Than You ThinkEp.16 More Than TimeTiming. Quite an important thing, right? You might disagree on first glance, and if so, I understand. But let me ask you a question, how many times a day do you tap your phone to see what time it is? Timing is an integral part of life and understanding the stewardship of it is equally important. When do you choose to have that hard convo? When do you decide to pull the trigger on an infrastructure change? Are you seeing a pattern in your organization you've seen play out in years past?

In fact, when the concentration of problem solving, brainstorming, and innovation is left to a small group of people, the results will reflect that finite contribution. In today's episode, we're moving past being task-oriented and burden-focused in our leadership. Instead, we're looking at the relational through line that empowers great collaboration. Leadership shouldn't be a pyramid, but a funnel instead. You have influence and contribution all around you. The question is, are you willing to do the relational work necessary to garner a...2022-06-2432 minSmarter Than You ThinkSmarter Than You ThinkEp. 14 Weaponizing Knowledge"It's not WHAT you said. It's HOW you said it." The reason phrases like this linger in our lexicon is because there's something quite true hidden in plain sight.  It matters how we present information, what we believe, and how we feel. How well we are heard and received is dependent on a variety of variables. Is our knowledge from a trustworthy source? Are we presenting our thoughts in a way where they can be heard or are we using them like a battering ram? In today's episode, we're looking beyond information itself and seeing how...2022-06-1732 minSmarter Than You ThinkSmarter Than You ThinkEp. 13 More Than InformationInformation is a powerful tool. It can be wielded like a weapon, held carefully, used strategically to build or tear down, and much more, but the point is simple: Information is valuable and using it intelligently might look different than we thought. If we think any intelligence we possess is the head of our lives, beyond Jesus and being submitted to Him, then we have made a god out of that intelligence. If we stay in partnership with Christ and submitted to his Godship, our intelligence multiplies health and life wherever its employed. But that's just the b...2022-06-1056 minSmarter Than You ThinkSmarter Than You ThinkEp. 12 Intelligent Leadership-Emotions MatterVulnerability by itself isn't so much productive as it is emotional waste. Vulnerability is meant to lead us to greater discovery and breakthrough; not be our arrival point. However, understanding what it looks like to employ a healthy sensitivity, awareness, and stewardship of emotions is tantamount to leading well. In today's episode, we're covering some necessary emotional ground. We have an opportunity to fortify health in our places of influence by allowing a healthy dose of emotional intelligence to the table.

After all, vulnerability is not an arrival point. Listen in and you might also have a few  "light bulb" moments.

Possibly seen a through-line of behavior with a corresponding result? Patterns tell us a lot. Some might’ve been created, others allowed, some merely supported. However, we’re not just talking about the results of these behaviors, actions, or how they’re made. We're talking about seeing these established patterns in ourselves and being able to acknowledge them as the ruts they are. “Without recognizing it, we really are victimized by patterns.” That’s why God has placed within humanity an ability to recognize...2022-05-0631 minSmarter Than You ThinkSmarter Than You ThinkEp. 7 More Than NumbersWe all have a relationship with numbers, that’s just the truth.

But we’re also talking about our burdens, pain, and how we allow them to influence each other.

The way we use our words matter because people matter. “In the beginning was the Word …” And God, the Word Himself, spoke life into the void and life began. If we’re made in His image we’re made to create, speak, and pour that life out similarly. “Words either build bridges or they burn them.” Today, we’re building bridges between you as a leader and the lives you lead.

Our language, how we communicate, are places we draw from and inevitably pour out on others. But what if the well we've been drawing from hasn't been the purest water? Today, we're talking about that intersection where Words Meet Reality and the truth that "There are some wells not worth living by." Come along for the convo as Dr. Fambro gives us some valuable insight and practical ways to engage in new languages; to dig new wells.

That’s because body language, tone, inflection, and space, paired with language, say much More Than Words. In today’s episode, Dr. Fambro is giving us a three-dimensional understanding of linguistic intelligence and its importance in our lives. We’re trekking through personality differences, Enneagram types, awkward moments, and how they all intersect with our communication. You may love talking to people and you may have a tool belt full of ways you can express your feelings or hear someone else's...2022-04-081h 16Smarter Than You ThinkSmarter Than You ThinkEp. 2 Intelligence takes on HierarchyIn this episode, we’re finding out what it looks like to incorporate and search out multiple intelligence in our own lives.

You may lead a huge organization, a home, a classroom, a community of people, or lead by wielding influence in a room— The truth is, we’re all leaders somewhere. As leaders, we have a responsibility to care about what God cares about, “and if we’re not after people the way He is we’re going to be held responsible for that.” And you know what’s wonderful...2022-04-0130 minSmarter Than You ThinkSmarter Than You ThinkEp. 1 It’s All in Your Head (You Are Smart)In this episode, Dr. Fambro begins by widening the scope of how we see intelligence in ourselves and others. We quickly see there’s room for every single person around the table to intellectually contribute. By the end of today’s episode, you’ll be certain of it. Our lives, schooling, and backgrounds are not train tracks for our lives and they don’t identify us either.
