    490: How to Make the Hard Decisions in Life

    with Author Nicki Koziarz 

    Flooded

    Kathi is here with long awaited guest: three time best selling author, Nicki Koziarz to talk about how to make challenging decisions. So much of the clutter in our lives is caused by avoiding decision. As the clutter continues to build, we are flooded with choices, and that can leave us feeling overwhelmed. Even though many of the decisions we are faced with on a daily basis are small decisions, they can seem very daunting causing us to continue to avoid them. Listen in as Kathi and Nicki give us some hard truths that can help us develop our decision muscle, including:

     

    • None of us are exempt from hard things
    • How to deal with the emotion attached to the clutter 
    • How to make hard decisions when it seems contrary to what’s expected

    Flooded: The 5 Best Decisions to Make When Life is Hard and Doubt is Rising

     

    Through the painful loss of her mom to a brain tumor and her brother to suicide, Nicki Koziarz has learned that if doubt is left undealt with, it can cause the presence of unbelief to flood our lives, to the point that faith becomes unrecognizable. Hard circumstances often stir something so destructive in a soul: doubt.  In the midst of her pain, Nicki looked through the lens of the biblical account of Noah and discovered five decisions a person can make to help deflect the destruction of doubt.

    When you are wrestling with doubt and fighting back hopelessness, Flooded will help you:

    • Quiet the fear that God won’t come through by discovering the difference between wishful thinking and biblical hope.
    • Resist the urge to control the uncontrollable by finding peace in between the problem and the promise.
    • Find the familiar faithfulness of God in His Word when it feels like nothing is normal and everything is falling apart.

    The reality of hard times holds a decision for each of us to find hope. And the decision to find it is yours. But you don’t have to do it alone. It’s time to rise above doubt, together.

     

     

    Giveaway: For a chance to win a copy of Flooded, answer this question in the comments below:

    Tell me a time that God met you in a decision and gave you the strength to make it OR tell me something that you are working through right now?
