The 60-60 Experiment
The idea behind Soul Revolution is to challenge you to do a very simple 60-day experiment in faith, going all-out in a radically-responsive relationship with God.
One day while I was mowing the yard, I began thanking God for the many ways I was experiencing more and more of this fulfilling way of living - staying moment by moment connected to God. I pastor a church comprised mostly of young adults, many of whom have tried most everything under the sun for finding the good life, yet still didn't find what they're looking for (as U2 memorialized in a song). As I prayed, "God, I wish you could get them to go for it long enough to see how good life is with you," a thought popped in my head: "Do an experiment - challenge them to an experiment to stay in continuous connection and radical responsiveness before God."
~John Burke, Soul Revolution
Starting the 60-60 Experiment:
For the next 60 days, try to stay in a continuous, honest conversation with God, willing to do his will moment by moment.
Set a watch or alarm to beep every 60 minutes, and put up sticky notes & reminders around your home, car & office, as a reminder to stay connected.
Try to turn your thoughts back to God all throughout the day, as often as you can. This simple conscious contact with God isn't easy, but it's all you have to do - everything else will begin to fall into place over time.
Even if you're not yet convinced this is true, try it. Every 60 minutes, stop and recall "God is with me right now..." and let that propel you to ask God "Show me your will this next moment. I want to be willing to do your will as an act of love toward you."
Begin the experiment and see if this isn't the path to a far more satisfying life.
