Every day we are inundated with decisions. Some of our choices seem inconsequential: what we eat for breakfast or how we spend the weekend. Others carry greater significance: whether to marry or remain single or what career path to follow. In her Spotlight presentation Dr. Jeanene Reese will help us examine our assumptions about decision-making, challenge us to explore how we make decisions, consider how we gain expertise in making good decisions, and encourage us to reflect on how the will of God fits into the whole process.
