The Dwelling Place with Lexie

From the kitchen to the workplace to the quiet of prayer, Colossians calls us to embody Christ’s presence in the ordinary. This episode is a gentle invitation to slow down, look up, and see the sacred in your everyday moments. You’ll learn: What it means to live “watchful and thankful” How to recognize God’s presence in the small and unseen places A simple awareness prayer you can carry through yo...

Today’s episode explores how the book of Colossians shapes our relationships — not just our inner lives. Through a personal story, Scripture, and pastoral reflection, Lexie invites listeners to consider how Christ’s peace, wisdom, and love guide the way we relate to others. Drawing from Colossians 3:18–25, along with insights from Lysa TerKeurst and Dr. Henry Cloud, this episode offers a grounded...

Today we’re exploring what it means to meet God in the small, mundane, everyday moments. Drawing from Colossians 3:17, Liturgy of the Ordinary , Brother Lawrence, and Henri Nouwen, Lexie invites you to see your daily rhythms as sacred — not because they are grand, but because God is near. This episode includes a guided imaginative prayer to help you practice the presence of Christ in your ordinary...

In today’s episode of The Dwelling Place , we slow down with one simple but transformative invitation from Colossians 3:16: “Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly.” If your life feels wild, weary, or stretched thin, this episode guides you back into the steady, grounding presence of God’s Word. Through a gentle Lectio Divina practice, you’ll learn how to let Scripture take up residence...

You’ve been given a new wardrobe — not one of perfection, but of presence. In this episode, we explore what it means to “put on” compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and love as Paul teaches in Colossians 3:12–14. Lexie shares a story about the seasons changing — how, just like reaching for that favorite fall sweater, we are invited to reach for a new way of living in Christ. You’ll be remi...

Have you ever realized you’re still carrying things that no longer fit who you are in Christ? In this episode, we walk through Colossians 3:5–11 and explore what it means to “put off the old self” and “put on the new.” Through a simple metaphor — cleaning out your closet — Lexie helps us see how following Jesus means letting go of old habits, patterns, and beliefs that no longer serve the person H...

When life feels foggy or uncertain, it’s easy to get lost in what’s right in front of us — the deadlines, the disappointments, the noise. But Colossians 3 invites us to lift our eyes and remember: our real life is hidden with Christ in God. In this episode, Lexie shares a story about finding direction in the fog, teaches through Colossians 3:1–4, and guides you through a journaling practice that h...

We’ve all carried labels that were never meant to stick — not enough, too much, unworthy, forgotten. In Colossians 2:11–17, Paul reminds us that those labels were cut away when we came to Christ. In their place, we were given a new identity — one rooted in His love and freedom. In this episode, Lexie unpacks what it means to be “dead to the old, alive to the new” and how to actually live from your...

Have you ever felt like your faith used to be on fire—but lately, it feels like you’re just trying to keep it alive? You’re not alone. In this episode, we’re exploring what it really means to be rooted in Christ — not just inspired for a season, but nourished, sustained, and built up in Him daily. Drawing from Colossians 2:6–7 and the imagery of a tree deeply planted in good soil, we’ll talk about...

In today’s episode, we’re slowing down to explore one of the deepest questions we all wrestle with: What is my purpose? The world often tells us that purpose is something we have to earn — a title, a job, a dream achieved. But Scripture paints a different picture. In Colossians 1:18–22, Paul reminds us that purpose isn’t found in performance — it’s found in a Person. Everything — from galaxies to...

In today’s episode, we’re slowing down with one of the most breathtaking passages in all of Scripture — Colossians 1:15–17. Paul reminds us that Jesus is not only the image of the invisible God, but the One through whom all things were created and the One who holds all things together. Through story, reflection, and a simple breath prayer, we’ll explore what it means to rest in the hands of the On...
