A lot of faith gets built over cheap pizza with people who actually pray for you.

Faith is rarely built in the impressive settings. It accumulates in cheap, unremarkable rooms with a few people who know your situation and keep asking about it, and that ordinariness is the point rather than a shortfall. Intensity does not form anything durable. Repetition with the same people does.

Commit to one small regular gathering and go even when it is dull, because the value is in the accumulation. Learn what is actually happening in two or three of those lives. Being consistently present in a plain room beats an occasional visit somewhere better organized.
