Summary

You make a lot of small decisions throughout the day that dictate the way you lead your family. But what about the big decisions that come along and have the power to alter the entire direction in which your family is going? This could be related to job opportunities, new living situations, or school choice. In this episode, Josh and Christi talk about how to spiritually lead your family through big decisions, as well as share about a recent experience in doing so.



Josh and Christi discuss:



* How to be emotionally, relationally, and spiritually in tune with your spouse when making big decisions.* How to invite a circle of trusted advisors into your decision process to gain wisdom and accountability.* The power of shifting how you view your decision away from the lens of the here-and-now, and through the lens of eternity.* How family values can help you be more clear and resolute in your decisions.
