Sometimes the dream is heard as a calling. So it was with Joan of Arc, the simple farm girl that heard a voice inside her calling her to “save France.” Boldly she confided in an uncle who provided the needed encouragement and assistance. And as you know, the story ended where it began, a life offered up in answer to a dream, the dream of a girl who gave it all to rally her country to freedom.

Every person, well-known or unknown, who lived a fulfilling life or made a significant impact in the world, can usually remember a moment when their life was turned inside-out, a turning point
when they discovered some sense of who they were and why they were put on the earth. It may have been just a small spark of illumination, but the spark was powerful enough to redirect their energies, and it grew and spread the influential power of the dream to others.

For many it was the seminal moment that reoriented their life away from aimless drifting, reacting without thought to external stimuli that other people and daily events provide. The new inner drive served as an internal compass, providing a roadmap to guide and shape a life no longer aimless.

For me it happened in my early thirties. Prior to a meeting with a gentleman with whom I was exploring a business venture, he asked me to first be interviewed by a colleague of his. To my surprise the interview was nothing I imagined it would be. For over an hour I was asked some of the most engaging, ‘make-you-think’ questions. I found myself pouring out heart-felt answers to powerful questions, forming one insight after another, beginning to assemble the pieces to the puzzle of my life. The interview was over before I knew it. When I met my business friend a week later at an airport café he had the report from my interview. As he began I remember thinking, “Wow, there’s another person on the planet who really knows me.”

I wonder if this is how the disciples of Jesus felt when he looked inside them and called them to their new and higher life. It also made me wonder – what would it be like to have a community where everyone knew how to engage each other in everyday conversations with similar penetrating questions? How many relationships would grow deeper, how many lives would be transformed, how many dreams would be realized if supported in this way? How could a culture like that change our world? What if grandparents and teenagers could “coach” God-given dreams? What if whole communities could be formed around a culture of dream empowerment? That became part of my dream. And the turning point was a dream coach who knew how to ask the right questions.
