Wisdom is how to apply our understanding in a way that brings life and that honors God.
Ever feel like you're at a crossroads and just can't decide which way to go? In this episode of 'Relational Recovery', hosts Wes Thompson and Austin Hill tackle the tricky terrain of transitions and decisions.

Wes and Austin break down four common traps people fall into when making decisions and how to steer clear of them.
First up, they warn against waiting passively for divine direction without taking any steps yourself. Instead, they suggest being proactive while seeking clarity. Next, they caution against using God as a mere tool to achieve personal goals, urging listeners to genuinely seek His wisdom. They also stress the need for honesty about one's motivations, rather than cloaking them in spiritual jargon. Lastly, they highlight the value of seeking advice from trusted friends or mentors.
Practical tips like making pros and cons lists and journaling are also on the table. Wes sums it up perfectly: 'It's not the decision that makes us wise, it's the process of making the decision that makes us wise'. Tune in to hear more about navigating life's transitions with grace and wisdom.
