When It’s Not Time to Quit

Listen Later

Though we cannot know the will of God for your life, we can share with you the mistakes of many leaders who quit prematurely. Jess and Thom discuss six times when it is likely not the right time to quit. The second reason might surprise you.

    1. When we lack clarity from God.
    2. When you haven’t expressed gratitude and joy to God for where you are now.
    3. When it’s just about a few critics.
    4. When it’s a season of discouragement or difficulty.
    5. When the job is not done.
    6. When a commitment has been made.
