The Test of Failure

We are willing to admit many fears like snakes and spiders, but #1 fear is unspoken…FAILURE

We are bombarded with images of success that run counter to God’s ways

Comparison is the root of all inferiority

All of us go through the test of failure

What does it feel like? Betrayal, hurt, hopelessness, grief, gripping anxiety, anger, rage, doubt, like you are fighting to survive, loss of a dream, loss of relationship, loss of income…

Understand the process: FAILURE > REJECTION> SHAME

It is the shame we fear so we react with fight or flight.

How you define success defines YOU. Habits determine our character and character determines our destiny (see “You Are What You Love” – James K. A. Smith)
