140. Helpful Rhythms for Decision Making



On today’s episode we get to flip the script as I interview Chris on his best practices for decision making. There isn’t a week in our house where Chris does not receive a phone call from a buddy or two, asking him to talk them through a big decision. As someone who struggles regularly with decision fatigue myself, I often lean on Chris’ strengths to help me make the tough calls.

Whatever decision you may be currently facing, we pray this conversation will be helpful to you, that the Lord will grant you the wisdom and guidance you need to make the right decision, and that ultimately you will rest in His good, Sovereign plan that will prevail no matter what. Listen in.

We chat with Bob and Ruth about the ups and downs of 26 years of marriage, raising five amazing kids, and the rhythms that have carried them along the way.  It’s crazy how God’s timing works and how every single week, somehow we need exactly the truth He brings through these conversations, and this week’s episode is no exception!
