How to Feel Miserable as a Church Planter

I found this list on the web about artist, but as I read it – it sounded alot like church planters. Good Fun.

HOW TO FEEL MISERABLE AS A CHURCH PLANTER

(or, what not to do, underline any that currently apply)
  1. Constantly compare yourself to other church planters.
  2. Talk to your mother church about what you do and expect them to cheer you on.
  3. Base the success of your entire career on one church plant.
  4. Stick with what you know.
  5. Undervalue your expertise.
  6. Let money dictate what you do.
  7. Bow to public pressures.
  8. Only do ministry that your mother church would love.
  9. Do whatever the mother church/core team/attandees/donor/denomination asks.
  10. Set unachievable/overwhelming goals. To be accomplished by tomorrow.
