"The consequence of living the comfort myth is an ongoing, restless desire for something else, because every time we achieve the false comfort we seek, it’s never enough. Thankfully, transformation is possible." Dr. Deborah Gorton on Faith Radio

1/2 "If your community resembles you in every demographic measure, the likelihood of you living in false comfort is high." Dr. Deborah Gorton on Faith Radio

In Embracing Uncomfortable: Facing Our Fears While Pursuing Our Purpose, Dr. Deborah Gorton shows us that every day we face a thousand choices between what is best and what is easier.
