As believers we are united in Christ—and there will still be issues about which we disagree. As Bobby Jamieson reminded us in this week's episode, "Those disagreements can always threaten to become divisions." But there is hope! We can learn how to understand our conscience, listen to God's leading, and engage those we disagree with by showing kindness and respect and remembering the unity we share in Christ. We pray the practical and Scripture-based encouragement this episode offers will help you think through how to both understand and live in line with your conscience. FULL SHOW NOTES GET THE DWELL APP DISCUSSION QUESTIONS What are some differing matters of conscience that you have encountered either personally, in relationships with others, or with those in your church? Are there friends or influencers who you have been tempted to “outsource your conscience” to, meaning you adopt their practices without gauging your own conscience? Bobby mentioned several passages (listed in our show notes) that would be helpful to better understand conscience. Perhaps select one today to read through or study with a friend. Is there a trusted pastor, friend, or mentor with whom you could have a conversation about your own personal questions about issues of conscience? Perhaps reach out to them today. What might you do or implement based on what you learned in this week’s episode?

Do you ever find yourself subconsciously crying out to God in a desperate moment? Maybe it's a "Lord, help me" prayer in a time of need, or a "Jesus, come quickly" when your heart is heavy. Sometimes life brings us to the end of ourselves in a way that reminds our hearts to call out to God. As we reach the end of ourselves we realize, to whom else can we go (John 6:68)? He is the One who is sovereign, able, good, and kind. In this week's conversation with Megan Hill, Hunter and Megan talk about how vital prayer is to the life of the Christian. FULL SHOW NOTES GET THE DWELL APP DISCUSSION QUESTIONS How has the Lord used prayer to help you navigate hard things? What has it looked like (or what might it look like) for you to incorporate prayer into your daily rhythm, even with all of the distractions of life?

Have you ever felt like you have nothing left…and yet you’re being asked to give more? Sometimes this place of utter depletion and emptiness can feel scary, but it is actually here that we can lift our eyes to Jesus and find so much more of God’s goodness, strength, and nearness. In this week’s episode, Hunter chats with Whitney Newby about how we can orient our gaze to Christ in the midst of the various challenges of life. We pray this episode encourages you—wherever you are and whatever you’re walking through—and presses you to lean on the Lord for strength.

Have you faced a season that felt like it was too much? How did God use it to help you learn to fully cast yourself on him?

In this week’s episode with Jill Atogwe, Hunter and Jill talk about our natural tendency toward discontent, and how even our areas of deficiency and lack can press us more into Jesus. We pray this episode reminds you that even in—perhaps especially in—those places where you feel most weak and humbled, there is space for growth and intimacy with God.  “Is God really good?” Have you ever found yourself asking this question? When the diagnosis comes back, when everything crashes down, when the other shoe drops… In the midst of suffering, if you listen to your feelings and to the world, the answer to that question is “No.” But, as Jill reminded us in this week’s episode, “if you open the Word, you will see the One that God loved most—himself—he allowed to live a life of suffering and to die a death of the ultimate untouchable suffering for us to live with him in eternity forever.” Sister, in your difficulty remember what is true: God is good and he can only do good (Psalm 119:68). You can trust him. FULL SHOW NOTES GET THE DWELL APP DISCUSSION QUESTIONS What are some things you feel that God has “left out” of your story?  How have these deficiencies, or things you felt like God left out, pressed you into more of Christ?

Have you had to navigate divorce or do you know someone who has? In this week’s episode Hunter talks with Wendy Alsup about how God was faithful to walk her through the incredibly difficult circumstances surrounding her divorce. Wendy shares how she found solace in meditating on God’s Word and in immersing herself in a safe local church body. We hope this episode offers you encouragement if you are in a similar situation or that it gives you tangible ways to care for those in your community who are hurting. FULL SHOW NOTES GET THE DWELL APP DISCUSSION QUESTIONS How has your knowledge and love of God carried you through the various challenges you’ve faced? Do you know anyone personally who has been impacted by divorce? Is there someone in your local church who you might serve as they walk through this difficult season?

Do you long for deep gospel friendships? As members of the body of Christ, when we are friends, we are friends in Christ. We are united by his blood, which means that our connection goes deeper than any other possible bond. In this episode, Hunter talks with Kristyn Getty about the beauty of gospel friendships. Kristyn shares about her own friendship with Joni Eareckson Tada, and how we can grow in our friendships with one another through the myriad of means God has given us, such as worshiping together, praying together, and sitting under and studying God’s Word together. We hope this episode encourages you to press into your own friendships as you grow in love and godliness together!

In this week’s episode, Hunter chats with Natalie and Vera of Dwell Differently about the beauty of dwelling on the truths that we find in the Bible.

Psalms 23, 63, 84, 91, 92, 102, 131, 145, 146, 147, 148, 149, 150 In this last episode of our Psalms series, we’re chatting with Caroline Cobb about God’s big story that we see in Psalms. Caroline is passionate about rehearsing and responding to God’s story as we go about our everyday lives, and you will hear her heart clearly throughout this episode. We pray this episode—and the whole Psalms series!—prompts you to abide deeply with the Lord and to trust his character and his heart as revealed in Scripture. It has been a gift to come to know and love God more as we study God in Psalms this summer.

Doxological Psalms: 19, 33, 66, 67, 95, 100, 103, 104, 111, 113, 114, 117 In this week’s episode we’re looking at the doxological psalms. The Greek word “doxa” means “glory,” so the doxological psalms are an expression of glory, or songs of praise that give glory to God.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS What is something you can praise God for right now, in this very moment? What are some ways you could incorporate praise into the everyday moments of your days? Brushing your teeth to a song of praise? Praising God for his character when you get to a red light? Singing a simple doxology as you pray over your dinner? Think about a specific circumstance, relationship, decision, or grief that is causing you suffering or distress. Now spend a minute thinking about your future eternal reality—the reality that if you are in Christ, you WILL be with him forever, where there will be no more crying, no more pain, no more death. How does thinking about that reality change the lens through which you see your current circumstance? How might meditating on God’s character as revealed in his Word lead you to praise? If you’re struggling with where to start, here are a few passages that point to God's glory: John 1, Hebrews 1, Isaiah 6, Revelation 21.

These psalms remind us of God’s character, give us language for our praise, and help us to give thanks to God, even if our current season is not what we hoped.

These psalms are full of joy, hope, and proclamations of who God is, as his people call to each other: Remember and rejoice!

These psalms help us see how we can walk through difficult things alongside others, lean into the body of Christ in the midst of tragedy or trial, and know God more, even in that place. By his grace, God meets us deeply in our suffering, and as we walk through both the joys and the brokenness of this life we can even come to know him more—and we can do this together.

These are weighty psalms, but you’ll see that even here—in the midst of the shame and guilt and fear—there is hope to be found. These psalms show us the gracious heart of God, who calls out to us in our wretchedness and offers us redemption and relationship.

How does thinking about God pulling you out of the pit of sin, guilt, and shame? How does meditating on what he’s done for you in Christ change the way you turn from your sin and fight for holiness?

In this episode, Hunter talks with Courtney Doctor about the beauty and the mutual edification of discipleship.
