4. Run to God 1st...then that book, blog, friend, mentor, sermon.
This is probably the hardest for me and the most undervalued lesson learned. Whenever there is a disagreement, I’m so prone to run to “fixing it”—subtly telling myself that I am more capable than God and any wisdom/ guidance that He can grant. My best advice is to first run to God in prayer and WAIT for Him to lead/guide you on what your next step should be.
