You're Not Alone

One of the most successful lies that Satan gets away with is "You're the only one struggling with this."

It's not true.

Every teacher and small group leader is going to get into these situations. I surveyed 1200 Bible teachers in early February 2007 -- over 400 responded back on this issue in less than 48 hours.

You are not the only struggling to interatct with a talker, a know-it-all, people who don't respond, critics, aggressive skeptics, or a therapy-seeker. Welcome to the human condition! This is not a new problem.

What's needed is some better coaching on how to effectively interact with these tougher-to-love people, to be constructive and move ahead, rather than have things fall apart.
