The Deep Dish

Making Decisions with Our Limits in Mind


Listen Later

Melissa Kruger and Courtney Doctor talk with Jen Wilkin about how to make decisions regarding good opportunities in light of our finiteness. They talk about why quitting is sometimes wise, how to think about decisions that will affect your family, and why it’s better to think of God's will as a field rather than a maze.

Discussion Questions 

  1. What is your attitude toward change? Are you more prone to embrace or resist changes in your life?
  2. Who has God positioned in your life to help you process significant transitions or decisions?
  3. What could a regular practice of “taking the temperature” of your current commitments look like? How can you assess the way they’re affecting your relationships with the Lord and others?
  4. In what ways are your current commitments influencing the amount and quality of time you spend with the Lord?
  5. Describe a time when you’ve decided to commit to a “sacrificial yes,” “necessary no,” or “not right now.” How has God used that experience to teach you about stewarding time?
  6. What attributes of God do you need to be reminded of as you make decisions about commitments in this season of life?
