One of the challenges for us as men, especially when we assume the role of provider, protector, and any vocational callings, is knowing when it is time to leave one thing and move on to the next thing in our lives. In this episode Scott Hatfield returns to the podcast to reflect on these moments of change and how to discern best what's next.
1. How do you know when it’s time to move on? To leave one thing and move to the next thing? How have you filtered those questions at different points in your life?
2. Hatfield found himself in a conversation that turned into an interview. Have you ever been in a situation or conversation that was pivotal in your work and/or calling?
3. We all need mentors; people who are ahead of us on the journey and pour their experience into us. Who is that for you? If you don’t have a mentor, who might you ask to be that person for you?
4. Whose work, life, or ministry do you look up to or admire from afar? Pray and ask God for the opportunity to grab some time with that person. Can you reach out to schedule an appointment through their admin, or offer to buy them coffee or a meal?
5. “Quit looking over the fence. There is fruit in longevity.” Evaluate your own life and your current position based on this quote. How’s it going?
6. Hatfield recounts seasons of being entrusted with everything and seasons of being entrusted to lead nothing. How have you seen God work in seasons of much and seasons of little? How has it directly impacted decisions about what to do, and where to stay or go?
7. Sometimes simple difficulty is not the best filter for deciding whether it’s time to move on. What are some other critical elements that need to be in the decision-making process as well?
8. Have you ever been drawn toward something that seemed like the right idea for you but you learned it wasn’t God’s idea? Did you realize that before or after a move was made?
9. What do you sense God asking you to do that you need to bring to Him in prayer for further clarity and guidance?
