Stay a While

n a culture obsessed with the next big thing—new jobs, new cities, new communities—God calls His people to stay, build, and invest right where they are. In Jeremiah 29, God speaks to exiles not with an escape plan, but with a vision for faithful presence. This message explores how deep spiritual formation happens when we plant, pray, and persevere in the soil of the present moment. Growth doesn’t come from speed or constant movement—it comes from rootedness. Gardens, not microwaves.
