The 3 Questions You Should Ask That Will Change Every Decision You Make l Ryan Leak

Main message: When facing important decisions, don’t rely on your own will, other people's plans, or merely “good” ideas — ask God for wisdom (James 1:5) so you make godly, not just good, choices.

Key points:

• We make many daily choices, but some are high-stakes with long-term consequences; we need godly wisdom for those.
• Three competing voices often drown out God: my own will (ask: Is this my will or God’s?), other people/their plans (ask: Is this their plan or God’s?), and the “good idea” voice (ask: Is this a good decision or a God decision?).
• James 1:5: if you lack wisdom, ask God — He gives generously to all; practically, “ask” and expect guidance.
• Practical helps: pray for “peace or pause” before acting, resist “just be you” and “follow your heart” as ultimate guides.
• The preacher invited listeners to make the ultimate decision to follow Jesus (putting Christ in charge) and offered the prayer team for help with decisions.
