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

  2. **E - Examine Scripture (2 min)**Does this align with biblical principles? God never contradicts His Word

  3. **A - Assess Wise Counsel (1 min)**Seek 2-3 spiritually mature advisors (don't crowdsource)

  4. **C - Check Your Peace (1 min)**Visualize each option, notice body's response - look for deep settledness

  5. **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)

  2. Remember: You can't steer a parked car (movement creates clarity)

  3. Trust God's sovereignty over mistakes (Romans 8:28)

Action Step

This week: Identify one avoided decision → Walk through P.E.A.C.E. Framework → Decide within 48 hours
