Making Wise Decisions by Word Mission Church International

The Bible is full of truth about the importance of controlling our minds. In this sermon, Dr. Stanley shares biblical truth found in Colossians 3 about how our tendencies to think as unbelievers change when we become believers. Christ gives us renewed thoughts, and the Bible to guide us towards thinking like Christ—with Godly and positive thoughts. Jaggy and I thank you for tuning in and SHARING!

How do we make good decisions? Every day, we answer questions over what we ought to do, yet only sometimes is right and wrong clear. What do we do when things aren’t clear? The apostle Paul helps the Corinthians to answer this question by teaching them how to reflect and deliberate on what is true and good.

In this podcast, Dr. Walker delves into the critical art of making wise decisions as a leader. We'll explore how to assess alternatives thoroughly, ensuring that every possible option is carefully evaluated. We'll discuss the importance of consulting counsel, drawing from the collective wisdom of mentors and advisors, and the necessity of gathering grit to make those tough, sometimes unpopular, decisions. The conversation will highlight the need to prioritize purpose, ensuring that every choice aligns with your organization's core mission. We'll also emphasize the power of engaging empathy, considering the broader impact of decisions on your team and community. Finally, we'll talk about the value of reflecting regularly on past decisions to foster continuous learning and the importance of trusting timing—knowing when to act and when to wait for the right moment. This episode is packed with practical insights to help leaders navigate the complexities of decision-making with wisdom and integrity.
