The Dwelling Richly Podcast

This message equips you to let your theology and your testimony walk hand in hand. I'm inviting you on a discipleship journey into a life that is Christ-centered and gospel-fueled: “I want to be everything about...

This week’s message from Hebrews 10:32 –39 carries a deeply personal note. Before the sermon, we sang “Walk by Calvary”—a song written by my dad, Dave Garrett. He wasn’t just a pastor; he was a songwriter who lived out Colossians 3:16 , letting the Word of Christ dwell richly through hymns and spiritual songs. For me, his words are a heritage of faith, pointing...

What if the scariest words in Hebrews are actually an act of mercy? “If we go on sinning deliberately…” (Hebrews 10:26–31) can sound like doom, but this passage is a loving shout of “Stop!” to hearts drifting toward an eyes-wide-open rejection of Jesus. In this message, we unpack what “sinning deliberately” really means (and what it doesn’t),...

What if life's biggest need isn't a quick fix? It’s easy to get caught up in wanting things *now*. But what if the deepest longing is for something more?

In this message from Hebrews 10, we explore why all the sacr...

But more than that, we're unraveling how God places us intentionally in our life's geo...

Ever feel like you’re standing on the edge of something God promised but hesitating to step forward? You’re not alone. In Joshua 10-14, we see battles won, prayers so bold they stopped the sun, and an unlikely group—the Gibeonites—who secured a covenant with God by accident. 💭 Key Quote: “The battle has already been won. The question isn’t if God is faithful. T...
