In this episode of the Hope + Help Podcast, host Christine Chappell interviews Michael Gembola about his book, Anxious About Decisions: Finding Freedom in the Peace of God. Some of the questions addressed in this interview are: • What makes decision making "an arena for spiritual formation"? • What role does risk play when it comes to making decisions? • What are four counterproductive practices someone might engage in when experiencing decision-related anxiety? • How do "mystical" and "magical" views of God's guidance serve to stoke decision anxiety? • In what ways might culture and family upbringing influence our approaches to decision making? • What might it look like to exercise the skill of decision-making when we find ourselves "sweating the small stuff?" • What are some practical next steps a person could take if they find themselves battling decision anxiety?
