Transform your church from a polite institution to a magnetic family in this revolutionary final episode of Battle Drill Daily Devotional.

#ChurchUnity #ChristianCommunity #ChurchHurt #BiblicalEncouragement #ChurchBelonging

Through contrasting experiences of invisible church visits versus Doris's transformative ministry of belonging, discover why most church welcome strategies completely miss the mark.

This episode challenges churches to move beyond visitor's cards and coffee pointing to create genuine belonging that transforms lives. Romans 15:7's command to accept others as Christ accepted us becomes practical through four costly strategies: intentional noticing, personal investment, ongoing connection, and genuine inclusion. Learn why creating belonging requires sacrificing comfort, established patterns, and closed circles.

From the author's anonymous church visit where nobody noticed his departure to Doris's legacy of turning visitors into family through lunch invitations and songbook assistance, discover why belonging must precede believing in today's lonely world. Essential listening for anyone wanting their church to become known as "the place where you matter."

Scripture Reference: Romans 15:7

Ready to create a church where nobody leaves unnoticed? Listen now and learn the costly art of radical belonging. Share with your welcome team and church leaders.
