Seven Decisions with Generational Impact

January 21, 2026 · 31 min

Show notes

In this episode of Leadership & Other Stuff with Brian Houston, Pastor Brian unpacks seven seemingly simple decisions that can shape not only your future, but the future of generations to come. Drawing from decades of leadership, ministry, and life experience, Pastor Brian challenges the idea that decisions are ever "small" when the consequences are great.

Through the framework of Who, Where, What, When, With, Why, and Wish, Pastor Brian explores how choices around relationships, location, calling, timing, community, motivation, and desire can either strengthen or undermine long-term impact. From marriage and friendships to career paths and spiritual priorities, this episode is a powerful reminder that leadership is lived out in everyday decisions.

If you want to lead with intention, align your life with God's calling, and make choices that outlast you, this conversation will both inspire and challenge you to think generationally about the decisions you make today.
