When You Don’t Know What to Do: Making Courageous Decisions in Seasons of Change with Rev. Dr. Angela Williams Gorrell

In seasons of transition, after loss or conflict, or when life simply no longer fits the way it used to, the question often becomes: What now?

Whether you’re discerning a new path, navigating retirement, healing from crisis, or simply longing for clarity, you’re not alone.

Join Rev. Dr. Angela Gorrell, author, speaker, and spiritual teacher, for a day of wisdom, story, and reflection. Drawing on her own pivotal life changes and stories from people across generations, Dr. Gorrell will guide you through essential steps for making wise and courageous decisions and transitions, even when the way forward feels uncertain.

Throughout this day of shared learning and personal discovery, you’ll gain:

Insight into the ways fear, doubt, or overthinking can sabotage your ability to move forward.
Simple, powerful practices to help you listen for God’s guidance amid noise, pressure, or confusion.
What it looks like to honor your own wisdom and life experience, even when you’re not sure what’s next.
Stories of brave decisions made in real-life moments of transition, loss, reinvention, or deep discernment.
Opportunities to connect with others walking through similar seasons, and space to be gently honest with yourself.
Time for personal reflection on your own path ahead.

This is a day for anyone, especially those who are ready to imagine new possibilities and take the next faithful step in whatever stage of life you are in.
