What is Dwelling in the Word?

Dwelling in the Word Schedule

It is: An intentional practice…hopefully, a habit. It involves:
  • Reflection
  • Deep listening to one another AND to God’s Word
  • Patience
  • Faith…that God will be revealed and the The Holy Spirit will guide us
Dwelling in the Word is a beneficial practice.  It immerses us in scripture. It enhances listening skills.  It can help deepen our relationship with God, self, and one another. ​Similar in many ways to Lectio Divina, Dwelling in the Word is one spiritual practice that both feeds our souls and our minds.

How it works:
Begin with prayer
Reflect silently
Find a person you know least well – or a friendly looking stranger (or a strange looking friend!)


Ask that person:
  1. What captured your attention or imagination?
  2. What question might you want to ask a Biblical scholar?
  3. Take 4-5 minutes each. You will report out your partner’s answers and thoughts. This is the deep listening part — try not to express your own thoughts, but, rather, those of your partner.

Reflect as a group:
What might God be up to in this passage for us today?
