English term or phrase: bite-sized (en esta frase)
Hello,

I need some help with the following phrase, please:
"Give God-sized vision is bite-sized pieces"

The people we address in presentations are victims of this information explosion. In every audience are people who are swamped with information and have fallen behind at work or about to give up. For you, the presenter, this means you are competing for people’s attention every time you bring a sermon or a message to them. People come to our presentations with a lot of things on their mind, a lot of information they are already trying to absorb at work and in their home. Behind every smiling face is a story of victory or defeat. If we have the opportunity to present a theme or subject in the form of a series, we then can gradually provide the needed information in smaller amounts to overloaded people. ***As Stephen Olford used to say, “Give God-sized
vision is bite-sized pieces.”***

Thank you very much for your help!!

Blessings,
Elena

Explanation:
***As Stephen Olford used to say, “Give God-sized
vision is bite-sized pieces.”*** in bite size pieces?

"Dé/Predique la gran Visión de Dios, en pequeños bocaditos"

I think it also ties into the drinking maternal milk vs eating meat, not sure if you know what I mean. What Paul says about trying to teach them "meat" when all they want to do is drink "milk" in regards to learning the Word of God.
