About this episode

Life is full of decisions. Each day, an individual makes countless decisions both big and small. So, is there a right way to make decisions? How can a person always be sure to make the right decision? Jeff Cavins offers his insight into good decision making by pulling from his experience and his knowledge of both Scripture and the Church’s teachings.

Snippet from the Show
Wise decision-making involves aligning with God’s will: “Not my will, but yours be done” (Luke 22:42).
