Paying Attention and Making Decisions
As leaders, a big part of our role is making decisions. We are counted on daily to make decisions. How do we make wise decisions? How do we discern what God is asking us to do vs. just deciding something? As followers of Jesus we want to do the things that Jesus asks us to do, but how do we know what He's asking us to do? How do we notice what God is doing so we can join Him in it?  Listen in as Jen and Sara talk about paying attention to what God is doing in order to make better decisions, big and small.  Suggested resources: Ruth Haley Barton's Strengthening the Soul of Your Leadership Podcast  Ruth Haley Barton's Pursuing God's Will Together  Steph Williams O'Brien Make a Move: How to Stop Wavering and Make Decisions in a Disorienting World Emily P.

Loving Others
As followers of Jesus, we talk a lot about loving others, but do we actually know how to do it? How do we love others when they think or believe differently than we do? How do love the person who just drives us nuts? How do we really love like Jesus did?  Listen in as Jen and Sara talk about a few practical ways we can love like Jesus.
