“How do I make up my mind?”
Making decisions, from the life-changing to the seemingly inconsequential, can be a frustrating, even paralyzing, experience for many. With more distractions at our finger-tips than ever before, young people in particular face a host of challenges when it comes to discerning and navigating a path through life.
Fr. J. Augustine Wetta, O.S.B. has written a unique book for the perplexed—or even just those who wonder if they need a different approach to decision-making in their lives. In “Pray. Think. Act.: Make Better Decisions with the Desert Fathers,” Fr. Wetta applies centuries-old wisdom to the decision-making process, examining each step in how we should make up our minds with wit, empathy, and candor.
In this episode, your host Andrew Petiprin explores the steps in solid decision-making with Fr. Wetta, whose signature mixture of personal anecdotes, laid-back humor, and practical advice make him a genial guide through what can be a difficult process. Fr. Wetta has honed his approach in his work with high-schoolers, but he has insights that will benefit anyone who finds himself struggling to make prayerful, considered decisions—which is, at some time or other, most of us.
