Summary

For leaders, one of the most frustrating parts of decision-making is this...

It....takes....time.

Sure, sometimes quick decisions are necessary. But most consequential decisions (that shape the future of your life, church, and ministry) require the ability to slow down and wait. Usually for longer than is comfortable for you.

In order to let your judgments (discernments) come from deep within, you cannot in any way be pressed or hurried. You must wait.

To be clear, waiting does not mean you are doing nothing. You are doing the most important something there is. In today's podcast, I share more about what God is actually developing in you in times of waiting. Then I take time to address several questions listeners have submitted.

0:00.0	Hi, my name is Pete Cazaro. I want to welcome you today to the Emotionally Healthy Leader
0:08.0	podcast. Great to be with you. Our topic today is sharpen your decision making by waiting.
0:14.8	That's a part three of this little series we're doing. So again, it's sharpen your decision
0:18.8	making by waiting. So I'm going to divide our
0:21.1	time today into two. I'm going to make some comments about waiting and the first two podcasts,
0:26.3	of course, and then I want to spend the bulk of our time doing case studies. So many of you sent in
0:31.5	case studies and questions, and I'm going to seek to get through eight or nine that I've chosen,
0:36.6	and we'll get a chance
0:37.8	to see how this theology gets worked out practically in a variety of situations.
0:44.7	There's learnings that take place through case studies that can happen no other way.
0:50.0	So again, this three-part series came about because so much of our life as leaders is making
0:56.4	decisions.
0:57.0	I mean, every day, strategically, big, small, medium decisions.
1:00.8	And when we're not thoughtful, when we're flippant, the implications are vast.
1:05.8	And so it's one of the areas we want to be growing in and maturing throughout our entire lifetimes.
1:12.7	So, again, I'm calling this a discerning the voice of God in some ways, level 201.
1:18.6	So he began by in part one, by looking at the foundation from Jesus' life about boundaries and limits.
1:26.2	And that how we saw in Jesus and his own discernment being tested and limits. And that how we saw in Jesus, in his own discernment, being tested and seduced by
1:32.4	the evil one to get off track from basically aligning himself with the Father's will. And that's
1:39.8	what happens to all of us. We find ourselves distracted, seduced by a variety of voices and can easily
1:45.5	get off track. Jesus had sealed orders for his earthly life from the Father in the same way,
1:52.8	so do you. So do I. So does every human being on earth, God's got a purpose for you here.
