in your life? Thinking?”

Bad conversations to avoid having
with yourself
• “Whatever made you think you could plant a church
in the first place?”
• “Nobody’s going to listen to you anyway.”
• “Everybody thought this was going to fail anyway,
so why try.”
• “I’m wasting my time and God’s time. I’m
not helping anyone and I’m not advancing the kingdom of God
in any way.”
• “There’s no need for this kind of church in
town. There are plenty of great churches already in town.”
• “You’re going to lose your
family if you keep trying to plant this church.”
