In this episode of the Signal Café, Chris Forbes and Matt Tulles reflect on how leaders navigate uncertainty when signals are noisy and direction feels unclear. Using weather forecasts, seasons, and biblical language of time, they explore the difference between reacting to events and discerning the moment leaders are actually in. The conversation touches on anxiety, institutional distrust, information overload, and why confusion often increases during periods of transition. Rather than offering predictions, the episode focuses on learning how to notice patterns, recognize opportunity, and respond faithfully to change. It invites listeners to think less about controlling the future and more about understanding the season they are being called to steward.
