What should believers move to in Hebrews 5 after leaving milk?

After leaving milk, believers should move on to meat. Paul says to get off the baby bottle and its milk and get on to a diet of meat, meaning solid spiritual food rather than milk. This is a call to deeper nourishment and maturity in the Word.

Les teaches that Hebrews chapter 5 says to get off the baby bottle and its milk and get on to a diet of meat. He presents this as a call for believers to move beyond milk to meat, that is, deeper spiritual food. In the same context, he also links spiritual growth to the circumcision made without hands in Colossians 2, where the old Adam is cut off and believers enter the body of Christ, no longer feasting on manna but on the old corn of the land.
