🚫 Skip the church-hopping cycle and get rooted in purpose. When you’re always moving, you miss the growth that comes from staying planted. God's design is for you to flourish—not in a pot, but in rich, life-giving soil. True spiritual maturity happens when we submit to godly leadership, endure pruning, and grow where we’ve been placed. Don’t shop for comfort; dig in for transformation. 🌱
