Thank you gentleman

@Mark Oleck thank you

@Barry Edgemon great question. I also love this "Pro Tip: long term or chronic unanswered questions lead to dysfunctional distraction, depression, frustration and confusion." To answer, when is enough enough? In the flesh it isn't. We all have a God sized hole we try to fill with stuff or substances or women and like all of Ecclesiastes states: it's all vanity, a vapor. I used to read Matthew 26:41 "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” and think oh the flesh is weak like it was a skinny little man trying to pick something up, but it's weak in every way. It folds to temptation, to comfort, to ease, to complacency. The flesh is weak in the way that it looks for the large, easy path not the road less traveled. I can know this and see it happen in myself all the time. In conversations with my wife, in how I discipline my kids, how I approach a problem client at work, how I respond to the Holy Spirits prompts, etc. I can know the pitfalls and yet still choose them because my flesh is weak. When I choose to follow the spirit, it's hard, uncomfortable, testing, it forces me to persevere, to push forward, and in the end is fulfilling and rewarding in a way I never knew. God is good, but he isn't safe or easy. God is wanting you to take the narrow less traveled path, but that isn't comfortable or simple and looks crazy to the world around you. When is enough enough? I think when you can readily listen and obey God's voice without a fight or a whining or a "oh man, cmon God, why that or why this person.". Peace beyond understanding is great, but obedience in faith is where the work is.

I think most of the speakers were great and had really thought provoking questions. I loved Joby Martin, Nick Frietas, the panel was great. I wasn't in to a couple of the speakers, more of a "this is my life" and less of a "what I've learned or practical knowledge/steps." Food was amazing, being able to get up and move around and talk to one another was good. I would have swapped the musical intermissions for a breakout to discuss instead. In total 8/10

I still make snap decisions sometimes, but as I have gotten older, I have been able to have more experiences. So I can respond instead of react in a similar situation where previously I reacted poorly. For me the early years were quick decisions due to arrogance and thinking I knew best. Some other factors at play were my decisions didn't affect anyone else, or at least I didn't care that they affected someone else, and I had to make my own way early in life. I didn't have great guidance or preparation as a young adult. So getting into early manhood, I was making decisions for the first time and as long as I got what I wanted as an outcome, I didn't care what decision I made. What has helped me the most is: 1. Mentors speaking wisdom into my situations 2. Realizing that not everything is a life or death decision, sometimes you're caught choosing between two crappy options 3. Similar experience, fights, arguments, etc 4. PAUSE, take a breath, and make the best decision you can at the time with the given information. You will NOT ever get it perfect 5. Pray, take a day, consult with someone you trust and respect.
