Discover why a faith-filled “yes” can lead to greater success than a doubtful “maybe.”

«A bad decision made in faith has a greater likelihood of success than
a good decision made in doubt.»

Let that sink in.

As leaders, we face countless choices, and many of them don’t come with a burning bush or a booming voice from heaven. Sometimes, it comes down to faith.

Romans 14:5 says, “Let each be fully convinced in his own mind.” The principle is powerful—God invites us to be convinced, not confused. He wants us to decide with Him, not sit stuck waiting for flawless clarity.

Peter saw Jesus walking on the water and said, “Lord, if it’s You, tell me to come.” Jesus said, “Come.” Peter didn’t get a full weather report, he didn’t ask for a second opinion—he just stepped out of the boat. In faith, not certainty. And even though he started sinking when doubt crept in, he walked on water. The other disciples? Still dry, still safe... still in the boat.

A risky step in faith gets you further than a safe seat in doubt. Better to walk on water and sink than never leave the boat at all.

Decision-making is one of the most important things we do as leaders. Yes, it’s healthy to develop a process with God where we ask for wisdom, get counsel, use discernment, but then—decide. Don’t just dabble or second-guess. Attach faith to your choice. Because when you do, something shifts and momentum comes. Because Heaven’s breezes blow on the sails of faith.

This is your moment to step into faith-filled decision making like never before. The fear of making the wrong move has paralyzed too many leaders. But God doesn’t reward perfection—He honors faith.

So ask Him. Trust Him. And then move forward, fully convinced in your own mind.

And may this next season be marked by bold, cheerful faith-filled decisions.
