Summary
Do you ever feel paralyzed when making decisions—especially when it’s one that’s really important? You just want to be sure you’re making the right choice. But how do you know? And what if you're wrong?
Oh friend, I get it! Decision-making can be overwhelming, especially when paired with lots of uncertainty. But today, you’re going to learn that you can make faithful, God-honoring decisions, regardless of how high the stakes.
Author Katie M. Reid joins us to explore the book of Judges—specifically the time of Deborah and the early judges—to give you confidence in making wise decisions. She’ll unpack six biblical principles you can apply no matter what choices you face, and she’ll help you find peace in making decisions, even when you don’t have all the answers.
So, if you’ve been second-guessing your decisions or wrestling with what God is calling you to do, listen in! This conversation will give you both wisdom and courage for the journey ahead.
