    God's Grid For Making Better Decisions | "What do my godly friends say about this?"

    Play Episode Listen Later May 19, 2025 35:41


    The Bible consistently teaches that seeking advice is a mark of wisdom. But in a world full of noise and conflicting voices, not all advice is helpful—or even trustworthy. So how can we discern good counsel from bad? How do we go about finding wise, godly advice in the midst of the chaos? In this episode, Pastor Chris Kipp teaches from 1 Kings 22, guiding us through the story of two kings in desperate need of godly counsel. As he unpacks the pitfalls and dangers they faced, Chris challenges us to embrace the simple—yet often difficult—pursuit of seeking wise, godly counsel. #walkgrowlive #alloflifealltheearth #gospel #jesus #advise #godlycounsel #wisdom Renaissance Church - Richmond, Texas https://ren-church.org

    Have you ever heard someone say that "God led them" to do something? Or have you ever prayed for God to guide you in making a decision? These kinds of questions can stir up either skepticism or a deep longing to hear from God personally. When it comes to life’s big decisions, the Bible consistently shows us that God has a long history of guiding His people. In this episode, Pastor Chris Kipp explores Acts 16:6–10 to show us how God’s direction played out in the early church—and he shares practical ways we can seek God’s guidance in our own lives today.

    Research shows that the average adult makes around 35,000 conscious decisions every day. That’s a staggering number. Some of those decisions are small and routine, while others are large and life-shaping. Sometimes, choices that seem minor carry major consequences—and at other times, we treat significant decisions as if they’re insignificant. So how can we learn to make better decisions? In this episode, Executive Pastor Glenn Goldsberry introduces the first part of our decision-making framework: Is it Biblical? Drawing from the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, Glenn offers practical and insightful guidance to help us navigate decisions with clarity and conviction.
