Stay A While | The Art of Showing Up

What this episode covers

In a world that’s always looking for the next best thing—next job, next city, next community—God invites His people to plant themselves. In Jeremiah 29, God speaks to His people in exile, not with a plan for escape, but with a call to invest deeply in the place they find themselves. Even in discomfort, God calls us to build, plant, and pray. This message will challenge us to resist the cultural pull toward uprootedness and choose faithful presence instead. Because spiritual formation doesn’t happen at warp speed—it takes gardens, not microwaves.
