Each of us has a freedom and a responsibility to make moral and wise decisions. But what does that decision making process actually look like? And how do we know if a certain path is wise? In this episode, Alex reflects on the framework outlined in Dr. Garry Friesen’s book, “Decision Making and the Will of God.” He also shares 7 practical conclusions that further explain how this framework applies to our daily lives. Make sure to listen to our previous episode with Dr. Friesen for more insights on this topic.
