When What You Believe is a Lie, Everything in Your Life Will go Awry! with Dawna DeSilva Making Space for Conversations That Matter with Laura Prisc

    • Ledarskap

More than 20 years ago, Dawna DeSilva began the process of learning what it meant to be a Prayer Servant in her church; today, she travels the world speaking, teaching, and providing Sozo sessions for people in all walks of life from nations far and wide. 
 
If you’re wondering what a Sozo is, so was Laura when she first heard the term a few years ago through a marketing mentor she was working with. In this episode of Making Space for Conversations that Matter, Dawna explains what Sozo means, where the word originated, how it’s used – more than 100 times in the New Testament! – and how she and her team of trained Sozo facilitators use the process to help people like you and me find healing, truth, and relief from the lies that keep us from becoming our fullest selves. 
 
Sozo is not counseling. It’s really an exploration process which brings your core beliefs to the surface and allows you to discern what they are rooted in, whether they are truth or lie, and how to release the ones that bear bad fruit. During the process, participants also learn how to discern for themselves whether the voices in their heads are speaking God’s truth or some other “truth” that may not be based in fact, truth, or reality at all! 
 
You see, we all make up stories about what’s going on in our lives and the world around us; we need to, to make sense of it all and have some sense of security in what often can be a confusing and chaotic life. Our brains are actually wired to look for evidence of what we believe, so it can reinforce our thinking and behaviors. But the stories aren’t always right and true, and when that happens, we are led astray, make bad decisions, choose wrong paths… and create messes!
 
The Sozo process allows us to remove the faulty lenses we’ve been viewing the world through and see with new eyes through the lenses God uses; the result is a new mindset that allows us to move through our lives in a healthier way. 
 
Dawna and Laura also dip into the ideas of the difference between expectation and expectancy, how we should be impacting the world rather than allowing it to always impact us, and to have more awareness about the energy and messes we allow ourselves to be exposed to day in and day out.
