Over the years, I’ve come to rely on four characteristics of emotionally healthy planning and decision making that I believe must become ever more deeply rooted in the soil of our hearts. These four characteristics emerged from our leadership work at New Life as well as our work with churches and leaders around the world. EMOTIONALLY HEALTHY PLANNING AND DECISION MAKING 1. We define success as radically doing God’s will. 2. We create a space for heart preparation. 3. We pray for prudence. 4. We look for God in our limits.
