Does your church make you uncomfortable?

Its easy to dream about the perfect churcha church that sings just the right songs set to just the right music before the pastor preaches just the right sermon to a room filled with just the right mix of people who happen to agree with you on just about everything.

Chances are your church doesnt quite look like that. But what if instead of searching for a church that makes us comfortable, we learned to love our church, even when its challenging? What if some of the discomfort that we often experience is actually good for us?

This book is a call to embrace the uncomfortable aspects of Christian community, whether that means believing difficult truths, pursuing difficult holiness, or loving difficult peopleall for the sake of the gospel, Gods glory, and our joy.
