Excavation.
Though himself an incredible preacher and teacher, Dave's proposal: transformational education through excavation."In developing our training process called Flow, our desire was to help each person live out his or her destiny. The process most closely resembles an excavation.
It isn’t so much about people changing, it’s about them being supernaturally unearthed."
“Excavation requires digging God’s true identity out from layers and layers of buried life, fear and sin.”
Excavating? What would that accomplish? What would that look like?
I believe excavation involves probes by another human being who cares enough to unearth both the gold and the gunk beneath the surface of someone’s consciousness.
By helping somewhat see the gold they offer, the purpose they bring or the potential they can realize, you help them see their best gifts and the life they have to offer.
And besides podcasts, I'm addicted to that kind of people excavation! (Hopefully "addicted" in the best way!)
Here are some "probe for gold questions" for you or for others...
* What makes you feel alive?
* What could you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?
* What do you yearn to be different?
Then listen.
Seemingly simple, right? But, what mentors or educators ask you those questions? Don’t you wish there were more?
Really, those who truly listen and let lives speak may be the most important need in our day.
For women!? NO. Actually, I believe men too are in desperate need here! And most guys have no idea that's what they really need.
If it’s true that God creates human beings with unique blends of gifting, passion, personality, pain and even experiences, why wouldn’t the first priority of educating a person spiritually and vocationally be to help them know with clarity and confidence:
1. Who am I?
2. What can I offer the world?
Should a child graduate from school, Sunday school or college and not know those things??
Yet, most do!
The gunk ... Well, that looks like probes for the blocks a person from fully living their potential.
And that’s where "gunk excavation" helps unearth and create the space to heal
* What you were told that wasn't true.
* What you believed about yourself that keeps you stuck.
* What you engaged in that needs forgiveness and healing.
Of course this is the work of God in a person’s life... and God desperately wants that to happen in people..
And How does God do His greatest work?
Through other people!
Imagine a tribe of people who’s desire, training and work in life was to release the real purpose and potential of other people... through the work of excavation!
