015: 10 Signs You are Making Your Church Plant About You
Show Notes

Although most church planters set out with the intention of serving the Lord, it's easy to get on the wrong track and make your church plant about you. In this episode, Loren and Carrie share 10 signs that you are making your church plant about you.  Loren also uses the word "environ," which Carrie is pretty sure isn't a word (it turns out it actually is).

There are probably hundreds, but here are the ten that they chose:

1. You find your identity in the church plant's success or failure
2. When someone leaves the church, it absolutely crushes you
3. You are not willing to adapt to the culture
4. You are unwilling to sacrifice personally
5. You are willing to sacrifice your marriage and family
6. You can't delegate or let other people shine
7. You are threatened by the success of others
8. Your church is "insider" focused to the exclusion of outsiders
9. You are unwilling to do the right thing because of how it might affect the success of your church plant
10. You are unwilling to listen to the counsel of others
