Dr. Crabb states that if you adopt the vision/goal stated above, “you will give up depending on your own competence. You will give up the pressure of having to make it happen, because you will know that you are out of your league.” How will knowing and believing this change the way you approach SoulCare?
-
Instead of depending on my own intelligence and ability, I am free to depend on the Holy Spirit to guide me into helping the person who has a situation.
-
Knowing that I am out of my league would cause me to completely depend on the Holy Spirit to work through me.
-
This relieves me of the pressure to find formulas, feel urged to find a way or a strategy, and instead allows me to understand that I will just be a companion to the patient and the Lord will do the job for him.
-
I believe it will help me to have confidence that I do not have to have all the answers. I do not need to be the hero or the fixer of the story because Jesus is already the hero. Jesus, God and the power of the Holy Spirit have given that person everything they need. I just need to listen in order that they are heard and point them to the one who is and was and shall be. Experiencing Christ is their deepest soul need all else is a temporary fix. I will say that there are caveats of safety in some situations that do need immediate action.

Knowing that you are out of your league and unable to depend on your competence in providing SoulCare, will strengthen your faith and trust in Godly wisdom, understanding, and knowledge. You will essentially surrender yours and rely on God’s wisdom, understanding, and knowledge.
