In a world obsessed with instant results, quick wins, and overnight success, there is something beautifully countercultural about growing slowly.
We believe in the quiet strength of deep roots. In the unseen seasons of growth. In the faith it takes to stay grounded even when it feels like nothing is happening on the surface.
The truth? Some of the most powerful growth happens beneath the soil.
Just like a tree, before we rise—we root. We stretch down before we reach up. We anchor in truth, in purpose, in identity. We learn to trust the process, even when the timeline feels uncertain.
Jeremiah 17:7-8 says: "But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit."
This is the kind of growth we’re after—steady, rooted, and unshakeable.
You don’t have to rush to rise. You don’t have to bloom overnight. You are allowed to take your time, to tend to your soul, and to grow in alignment with God’s timing.
This week, let Rooted & Rising be your reminder: You’re not behind. You’re becoming.
Stay rooted, and trust—your rise is already in motion.
