Dwell Pastor Conrad Hilario is out with a new book Identity: Seeing Yourself through God’s Eyes. You can pre-order it now. Conrad shares more about the book and what prompted him to write it:

Here’s an excerpt from the translated note: When we finished lesson one about “What is Discipleship?,” I realized that it gave a simple answer: discip...

Dwell recently sent a short-term missions team to Cambodia, to encourage and support our friends at Fountain of Hope. Katie Wollard was a part of the trip, and shares first-hand about her experience. At the end, you'll learn about a special opportunity to support the work in Cambodia:

What started as a way to meet the spiritual needs of isolated people during COVID–a devotional aimed at senior citizens–has grown into a widely used Bible resource, accessible to anyone in the world through Dwell’s website.

Dwell’s Pacesetters ministry offers over 50 devotionals, written by Dwell pastor Gary DeLashmutt. They’re designed to be short enough to be easy to read, but meaty enough to feed people’s spiritual hunger. While many are aimed at Christians,...

The Xenos Summer Institute (XSI) starts July 12th, with both large scale teachings and smaller breakout sessions looking at the topic “In Christ”--how better understanding our new identity in Christ can transform our effectiveness and enjoyment of our walk with God. XSI runs July 12-14.
