#73 How to Master Decision-Making As a Christian [Biblical Guide]
Have you ever been faced with making an important decision for your family? How does God want us as Christian men to make important decisions as the heads of our families?
What does the Bible say? I was recently asked this. I’ve wrestled with this too, and I’m sure you can relate.
In this episode, we're laying out a biblical guide to making decisions, both for yourself and for your family.
Specifically, you will learn about 9 stages of decision-making that I believe Scripture lays out.

Customer Reviews
So glad I found this
I came across Joel while looking for more information about Christian epistemology. I found his video “Definitive guide: Christian epistemology” clicked on it and loved what I heard. That lead me to his podcasts and can’t wait to hear more and more of his teachings.
Edifying and Christ Glorifying
Joel is a good communicator and does a great job helping Christians to think biblically. The listener will be equipped to engage opposing world views and encouraged in their faith during the process.
Great content
I love shoe and his love for the Word of God and the importance of a Biblical world view.
