SESSION TWO

DECISIONS WHEN YOU SEEM STUCK

Decisions, decisions, decisions. One study says we make 35,000 of them every day! As leaders, many of our decisions impact others — and many of our decisions are hard.

So how do we make the right decision? What do we do when we can’t see the right way forward?

In this session, Alan Briggs helps us when we feel stuck in a decision, and gives a grid to help determine some right decisions. Then he invites us to “show our work” — and as we do, God might give us confidence in him, for all those decisions you have to make today.
