Social distancing can make it hard to connect, especially when we can't worship in person on Sundays. One of the ways church members can connect at a distance is by dwelling on Scripture together. If you're a pastor or on staff at a church, email covid19@dwellapp.io

We've decided to provide churches free 60-day access to Dwell's church account subscription. That means every member of a congregation can get Dwell free for the next 60 days. No strings attached. No credit cards. If you're a pastor/staff at a church, email covid19@dwellapp.io

"In order to become myself I must cease to be what I always thought I wanted to be, and in order to find myself I must go out of myself, and in order to live I have to die." Thomas Merton @MertonDaily #contemplation #centeringprayer

"Beware of the contemplative who says that theology is all straw before he has ever bothered to read any." - @MertonDaily

This is what we have to remember about mortification. Pain, crucifixion, and death are vehicles to a new kind of life, resurrectionlife. jonathanrbailey.com/home/2018/3/27…

Hear Jesus speak on our commute…or pray with David while we clean…or follow Paul while we exercise…This is what Dwell, an upcoming new Scripture listening app can help us do. dwellapp.io

A faith that is afraid of other people is not faith at all.

One has to be very strong and very solid to live in solitude.

Dare to advance in the love which has redeemed [you]...and to laugh at the preposterous idea of 'worthiness.'

The imagination should be allowed a certain amount of time to browse around.

The spiritual life is, then, first of all a matter of keeping awake.

We live in a state of constant semiattention to the sound of voices, music, traffic, or the generalized noise of the happenings around us.
