Ask Pastor John I’m Paralyzed by Indecision — What Should I Do?
Dec 7, 2016
Facing indecision can feel paralyzing, but taking action is key to finding clarity. John Piper emphasizes that drifting leads away from God’s purpose. He advocates for 'investigative moving' to explore options without needing perfect certainty. By humbling ourselves and pursuing holiness, we align our desires with divine guidance. Piper urges listeners to dream big, even in later life stages, and to seek greater delight in God as they navigate new seasons.
