How to Make Better Decisions (God’s Wisdom vs Gut Instincts)

“Follow your heart.”

“Trust your gut.”

“Do what feels right.”

 

The world shouts this message everywhere—but what if it’s actually leading you the wrong way?

 

In this episode of Rocket Fuel, Jen Smith flips the feel-good advice and brings you a deeper truth: Your feelings can lie. But God’s wisdom? It never will.

 

This isn’t about shaming your instincts. It’s about upgrading them with God’s unshakable guidance. If you’re tired of making decisions based on confusion, emotion, or impulse, this episode is your wake-up call to pause and ask the only One who always gets it right.

Proverbs 3:5-6 – “Trust in the Lord completely… He will direct your steps.”

James 1:5 – “If you want to know what God wants you to do, ask Him…”

Psalm 32:8 – “I will guide you along the best path…”

Ecclesiastes 10:10 – “Wisdom makes the work easier.”
