TEACHING SPINE
Three movements.
- Some of God's deepest work is hidden before it becomes visible.
- Repeated small obediences can form durable maturity.
- Growth should be measured by trajectory, fruit, repentance, and dependence on Christ, not only dramatic experiences.

Do not romanticize stagnation. Slow growth still has movement, repentance, learning, and fruit over time.
LAND THE LINE
Do not despise quiet formation. Faithfulness over time often produces the strongest fruit.Episode completion is saved on this device.
