You're the Under-Fire Founder
This means that condemning, strategic doubts press you to quit or play small—especially when you get close to success.
It feels like a verdict, not a helpful next step: “Maybe my work harms more than it helps,” or “God probably has someone better than me.” The enemy plants lies tailor-made to your calling to keep you quiet right when you're on the verge of wide-scale help to others.
Symptoms Common to the Under-Fire Founder
- Accusing thoughts get loud right before you obey (post, invite, price).
- You wonder if your work might harm more than it helps.
- You catch yourself thinking, “God probably has someone better than me.”
- You downplay real fruit and fixate on a what-if harm.
- You pull away from wise counsel when those thoughts hit.
- You shelve a faithful step you had planned.
- Scripture feels distant while the “quit” voice sounds final.
How This Affects Your Work & Kingdom Impact
You pull back from faithful risks and delay good work. Posts don’t publish, invitations stall, and prices stay unclear. The good deeds God prepared for you (Eph 2:10) get deferred when the accuser gets the mic. You spend time and energy managing your inner narrative instead of serving, and the people within your reach miss timely help—not because your message lacks value, but because accusation drowns out truth.
How The Gospel Answers This
In Christ, you are adopted and equipped; the Spirit convicts to restore, not condemn. Resist the enemy: submit to God and resist the devil (James 4:7), take every thought captive to obey Christ (2 Cor 10:5), and answer deception with Scripture as Jesus did (Matt 4). Put on the armor of God (Eph 6:10–18) and keep walking in the assignment He’s given you.
Why a “Put On” Identity
Scripture doesn’t tell us to identify with our weaknesses, but rather to put on what is true of us in Christ. Your quiz result isn’t a label—it’s an invitation to grow, showing you how the Spirit is shaping you beyond your current patterns and into greater faithfulness and freedom.
Your Put On Identity: The Battle-Ready Leader I’m putting off listening to accusation and shame. I’m putting on truth and obedience (despite my un-impressiveness).
Anchoring Statement: I resist the enemy’s lies, stand in who Jesus is and is making me, and act.
Habits:
I answer doubts with Scripture out loud.
I text one trusted friend for prayer before big steps.
I press “publish” as an act of worship, not worth-seeking.
