Sunday Inspiration: What is the 60-60 Experiment?

16 October 2011 One Comment

The 60-60 Experiment

60-Day Experiment in Faith
A Radically-Responsive Relationship With God

Through real-life stories, explore how God takes imperfect people, regardless of their past, and leads them into a relational journey toward their heart’s greatest desire. Experience how a moment-by-moment connection to God with wide-open willingness fulfills our deepest longings and transforms us into life-giving people.

On October 9, 2011, I began The 60-60 Experiment recommended by John Burke in his book Soul Revolution. Within a few days I began experiencing several profound breakthroughs. For example, …

1) I completely cleared my Inbox for Gmail, something I had wanted to do for several years, but never could before no matter how hard I tried.

2) I resumed my weekly email with prayer requests to 40+ intercessors. This was something I had done for 6-12 months before letting this good habit slip away. I’ve wanted to resume this for more than a year, but for some reason I couldn’t until this past week.

3) I asked for recommendations for LinkedIn and received 8 encouraging ones within 24 hours. In the prior 3 years, I only had one recommendation because I never made this a priority.

4) I began video messaging, something I’ve wanted to do and known how to do for 1-2 years, but somehow just couldn’t get started.

How does The 60-60 Experiment work?

For 60 days you intentionally connect with God every 60 minutes. You can remind yourself every hour in a variety of ways. For example, you might set your watch to beep every hour, have your mobile phone vibrate every hour, put sticky note reminders in several places (e.g. on your computer, bathroom mirror, car dashboard, etc.), or put a little string on your finger. Whatever works best for you is fine.

How might the The 60-60 Experiment revolutionize your life?

In 1930, Frank Laubach began something similar to this at the age of 46 after becoming severely disappointed with the lack of fruit in the first part of his life. During the next 40 years of his life, Frank wrote more than 50 books, developed the Each One Teach One literacy campaign responsible for teaching more than 60 million people how to read in their own languages around the world, was proclaimed by Encyclopedia Britanica as perhaps the best educator of modern times, and was named “Man of the Year” in America.

Today I prepared a short video for you sharing more about the 60-60 Experiment and Frank’s story.

Years ago, it used to be that a plane was flown by both a pilot and a navigator. The pilot flew the plane while the navigator gave directions because he knew precisely where the plane was and where it was going. The 60-60 Experiment is about letting the Holy Spirit be the navigator for your life, while you serve as the pilot.
