The Value of Taking Risks
Learn why embracing seemingly foolish decisions can lead to profound growth and unexpected blessings.

Life often presents us with choices that seem irrational or risky. Yet, these "dumb" decisions can lead to incredible outcomes. Peter Chin shares how decisions that appeared foolish—like forgoing medical school for divinity school and staying in a crime-ridden neighborhood—ultimately led to unexpected blessings, including media recognition and personal growth.
Embracing God's Higher Ways
Isaiah 55:8-9 reminds us that God's ways are higher than ours. Sometimes, what appears foolish to the world aligns with God's divine plan. By embracing these moments, we open ourselves to God's unexpected blessings.
Biblical Examples of Faith
Scripture is filled with stories of seemingly foolish actions leading to God's miraculous works. From Joshua's unconventional battle strategy at Jericho to Jesus’ sacrificial love, God's plans often defy human logic.
Trusting in Divine Wisdom
Living a life of faith means being open to God's guidance, even when it contradicts conventional wisdom. While not every impulse is from God, discernment through prayer and scripture can help identify His voice.
The Balance of Faith and Wisdom
Faith doesn't eliminate the need for wisdom. Not all risks are divinely inspired, but those that are can lead to profound growth and testimony of God's power.
