Welcome to our FINAL episode on Christian Discernment! Today, we discuss the the two types of decision-making Christians typically make with the Holy Spirit: "Meadow" Decisions and "Bullseye" Decisions. With Meadow Decisions, we have the freedom to make all sorts of decisions in partnership with the Holy Spirit, without it being disobedience if we make one decision versus another. A Bullseye Decision, on the other hand, is a specific instruction from God and if we refuse His call, we are being disobedient. (Like good ol' Jonah!) We share personal examples and case studies of both types of decisions -- and offer tips on how to go about discerning in each. We hope this seven part series has helped you to discern more clearly and make decisions in FREEDOM with the Holy Spirit!
