I don't know about you, but when confusion takes over my soul, it immobilizes me. I feel the energy drain out of my body while my motivation evaporates. We all face times of confusion. Sometimes it happens because we are overextended physically, and sometimes it happens because we are simply overwhelmed by the flood of facts, demands, commitments, and questions that fill our lives. Whatever the combination of these factors, I know the results: disorder, disarray, and chaos in my soul. I don’t seem to be able to think clearly enough to make even the simplest decisions. It is in times like these that I desperately need God to intervene in my life to bring clarity where confusion reigns.

How do we clear up confusion, cut the lines, and set sail on a life of godly adventure? Let me share two practical ways that work for many teachers, coaches and consultants.
