Key Topic

Decision-making with confidence through faith and practical frameworks

Main Problem

• Decision fatigue and paralysis from overthinking
• Anxiety hijacks clear thinking (amygdala vs. prefrontal cortex)
• Too many voices create confusion
• Key insight: Anxiety and clarity cannot coexist

The P.E.A.C.E. Framework (7 minutes total)

1. **P - Pray First (2 min)**Simple surrender prayer + 3 deep breaths to calm nervous system
3. **E - Examine Scripture (2 min)**Does this align with biblical principles? God never contradicts His Word
5. **A - Assess Wise Counsel (1 min)**Seek 2-3 spiritually mature advisors (don't crowdsource)
7. **C - Check Your Peace (1 min)**Visualize each option, notice body's response - look for deep settledness
9. **E - Execute with Confidence (1 min)**Make the decision and move forward in faith

Breaking Decision Paralysis

1. Set a decision deadline (indecision is a decision)
3. Remember: You can't steer a parked car (movement creates clarity)
5. Trust God's sovereignty over mistakes (Romans 8:28)
