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.\xa0 \xa0 If you\u2019re wondering what a\xa0Sozo\xa0is, 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\u2019s used \u2013 more than 100 times in the New Testament! \u2013 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.\xa0 \xa0 Sozo is not counseling. It\u2019s 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\u2019s truth or some other \u201ctruth\u201d that may not be based in fact, truth, or reality at all!\xa0 \xa0 You see, we all make up stories about what\u2019s 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\u2019t always right and true, and when that happens, we are led astray, make bad decisions, choose wrong paths\u2026 and create messes! \xa0 The Sozo process allows us to remove the faulty lenses we\u2019ve 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.\xa0 \xa0 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.\xa0 \xa0 Dawna\u2019s Bio Dawna De Silva is the\xa0Transformation Center\xa0Overseer and Global Representative at Bethel Church in Redding, CA, and the author of\xa0Sozo \u2013 Saved, Healed, Delivered.\xa0
