Decision making and guidance

Tutor: Nigel Dixon

Course Summary
This course is an attempt to explore how to make good decisions. We will explore how to evaluate the more internal leadings we get from God – what it means to be led by the voice of God. We will explore our culturally influenced approach and then seek to build a biblical grid for processing the decisions we need to make.
 
Learning Outcomes

  • To de-mystify the will of God
