Larry and Drew talk about the very real struggle pastors and church leaders face with the on-going stresses of making decisions.
"Decision fatigue is the biological effect of continuously flexing one's decision-making muscles. The more choices a person makes throughout the day, the more challenging each one becomes for the brain. Eventually, the brain begins to look for shortcuts."
Decision Fatigue Signs:
-Procrastination
-Impulsivity
-Avoidance
-Indecision
- Seek the Lord and His wisdom first
- Seek wise counsel – there is safety in a counsel of many (church/Community)
- Seek the safety of your people – the most loving thing you can do.
- Be willing to be wrong – If you have to punt – change directions, apologize and move forward.
- Do ALL you can for due diligence – CLEAN, LEAD, COMMUNICATE, Give GRACE, receive Grace
- Give decisions back to your people – ultimately they make their choice on return and risk.
- Rest in the decision you’ve made and given to the Lord (Phil. 4:6-7 pray and have peace)
