Last week I had the chance to hear Jaipaul Swamidass from bravelifecoach.com. He was talking to a group of pastors, which, as he admitted, was not his usual gig. He spends most of his time leading and coaching executives. He is a Christian and has funded many church starts in India.
During his presentation he talked about defying gravity. He shared about how man always wanted to fly but until learning the principles of aerodynamics, it was impossible. Of course, it was always possible, we just didn’t know how. Now we get into huge planes with hundreds of people and fly for hours never thinking about the “how.”
Since Jaipaul’s talk last week I have been thinking about defying gravity. What does that mean for my life? How will God use me in such a way that the impossible seems possible?
Lately I have been having some crazy ideas, things that are life changers. If these ideas are coming from my own head it will be easy to dismiss them soon and go on with life. If they are from God, and I suspect they very well could be, then I could be in big trouble. God occasionally calls me into the deep unknown. He probably does that to you too. If you say he doesn’t then maybe you aren’t really listening. If it begins to look more like God I’ll let you know. I can use all the prayer I can get.
So, what does it mean for you to “dream big?” Are you ready to defy gravity?

I’ve been curious for a while as to the meaning of a phrase from a song I like.
Could someone please tell me what “I’d sooner buy” means or refers to in this context?
“I’d sooner buy defying gravity (…) I think I’ll try defying gravity, and you won’t bring me down”. I guess I can deduce what it means from the context, but I wanted to know what it meant specifically and if it’s an expression that’s used a lot by English speakers.
Thanks
