Meaningful growth rarely happens while everything feels comfortable. It happens somewhere unfamiliar.
Away from home, on someone else’s turf, we are not always comfortable, and that discomfort opens us to deeper spiritual growth. We become more receptive to what God is saying precisely because our usual defenses are not there.
Comfort feels safer. But staying close to home can also be the very thing keeping your church from the breakthrough you are praying for.
This is why Church Doctor Ministries builds the England Immersion trip as an excursion, not a conference. Stepping away from your normal rhythms puts you in a state of spiritual receptivity that is hard to manufacture any other way.
Leaders who lean into that discomfort often come home with vision that reshapes years of ministry.
Step outside your comfort zone with us in May:
