Name: What if I Don't Feel Like Going to Church?
Rating: 5.0 (1 reviews)

The most important time to be at church is when you don’t feel like it.

Feelings are complicated and fickle, yet they often reveal what you really want or think. When you don’t feel like going to church, something much deeper may be going on that must be addressed by God’s Spirit, through his word. Gunner Gundersen diagnoses the human heart and offers biblical insight on the importance of being involved in the local church—even when you don’t feel like it.

Honest, Practical, and Encouraging

I was amazed by the many reasons David Gundersen gives for why church can feel difficult. I appreciated that he admitted this upfront, starting with the quote: “The most important time to be at church is when you don’t feel like it.” My favorite part—actually, I loved it—was his advice on dealing with church struggles: “Prepare to be patient… rarely is the first solution to amputate ourselves from the body and demand a transplant.” Gundersen’s insights are honest, practical, and deeply encouraging for anyone wrestling with church life. A thoughtful and affirming read.
