We live in a culture that treats the large as sacred.
Bigger platforms. Bigger followings. Bigger churches. Bigger coffee. But here’s the truth: a venti-sized life isn’t more faithful than a tall one.
Jesus never asked you to go viral. He asked you to be faithful. And faithfulness is often slow, small, and hidden.
You are not failing because your reach is modest. You are not falling behind because your influence doesn’t trend.
Some of the most beautiful fruit grows on vines nobody notices.
If you’re weary of trying to become something larger, here’s the quiet permission your soul might need:
You don’t have to be a venti.
Be rooted. Be present. Be faithful. That is enough.
