Decisiveness

Turning insight into action by making firm, responsible choices

Our current faith‑based resources are written from a Christian perspective, but we know that many other faith traditions also nurture strong character, and we want to honor and uplift that diversity.

We are actively seeking contributors from additional faith traditions who would like to help us expand this section. If you are interested, we would be grateful to partner with you.

Decisiveness helps believers follow God’s leading with clarity.

When choices are made prayerfully and confidently, ministry moves forward with purpose. Decisiveness reflects trust in God’s wisdom.

WWJD – What Would Jesus Decide?

by Jill Tomey

So what would Jesus decide? He would look to his Father for guidance and the courage to love all those around him. He would make sure that all his decisions reflected his Father’s compassion and mercy. He would do the right thing, even when it is hard or unpopular. He would follow his Father’s will, even when it meant dying on the cross for us. That is what Jesus would decide to do.

This month, how can you apply WWJD to your daily decisions?
