The Proverbs 31 Ministries Podcast “What To Do When You’re Afraid of Making the Wrong Decision” With Grace Valentine, Meredith Brock, and Cailah Garcia
Have you ever felt stuck trying to make the right decision — afraid one wrong move could mess everything up?
In this honest and practical conversation, Meredith Brock and Cailah Garcia sit down with author and speaker Grace Valentine to talk about what it looks like to make decisions with God instead of with anxiety.
Through personal stories (including a hilarious texting mishap), biblical wisdom, and a deep dive into Proverbs 3:5-6, Grace reminds us that decision-making was never meant to be something we navigate alone. When we try to decode every outcome or gather endless opinions, we often spiral into chaos instead of stepping into wisdom.
If you’re facing a big decision right now — or simply feeling overwhelmed by uncertainty — this episode will help you pause, seek God’s voice, and move forward with faith instead of fear.
You’ll learn:
- Why trying to figure everything out on your own often leads to anxiety and overthinking.
- How Proverbs 3:5-6 gives a clear framework for navigating life’s decisions.
- What the difference is between seeking opinions and seeking godly wisdom.
- Why surrendering control is often the first step toward peace.
- How God can give you peace even when the decision in front of you feels uncomfortable.
