Episodes
In this episode of The Dwelling Place Lounge, we dive into Ecclesiastes 1 and explore Solomon's raw and almost nihilistic view of life “under the sun.” But through Jesus’ work on the cross, we see that our lives are filled with eternal purpose and hope. We also uncover how Jesus knows each of us by name and the parallels between Ecclesiastes and Job. Join us as we find meaning, hope, and purpose in Christ.
In Ecclesiastes 1, Solomon wrestles with life’s ultimate question: What’s the point? From a purely earthly perspective, everything feels meaningless—a chase after the wind. But in Christ, everything changes. He gives us purpose, identity, and satisfaction. Every moment matters because He knows your name. Discover how Jesus transforms emptiness into eternal meaning.
This week on TDPLounge we are talking more about Ray Daniel's message on Intentional Prayer. We had a couple questions from the church this week and we were very pleased with the chance to get to answer them! We also dive in further to the statement "praying doesn't change the will of God." What about the moments when Moses interceded for the Israelites and God "changed His mind?" How do we discover the tension of that verse and re...
Ray Daniel takes to the stage today as he finishes out our Intentional Living series with intentional prayer! What does Jesus say about prayer, how does the Lord's prayer reflect the motives and intentions of our hearts, and what is the ultimate purpose of prayer? Ray will address this and more, so grab some coffee and let's grow closer to God, together!
Phillip and Ray go deeper into the Intentional Living series sermons of Worship and Sacrifice in today's TDPLounge episode. Grab some coffee and let's grow closer to God, together!
Intentional Living: Counting the Cost (Sacrifice) | Luke 14:25–33 Sermon
Following Jesus isn't free—and He never said it would be. In this sobering yet hope-filled message, Pastor Phillip unpacks Jesus’ words in Luke 14:25–33 where He calls us to count the cost of discipleship. What does it mean to hate even our own families to follow Christ? Why is sacrifice not just part of the Christian life—but the very heart of it?
This sermon...
"Not to us, Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory because of your faithful love, because of your truth. 2 Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” 3 Our God is in heaven and does whatever he pleases.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, made by human hands. 5 They have mouths but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see. 6 They have ears but cannot hear, noses, but cannot smell. 7 They hav...
Today Ray and Phillip get together to discuss the previous 2 messages in our Intentional series, covering topics of denying the flesh and peace. We hit nuanced topics such as Christian nationalism, MAGA, the benefits of denying the flesh, living in peace and praying while in sin. If you've been learning from this series we are on, you will definitely not want to miss this episode!
Peace is a gift of the Holy Spirit, but it's not always something we allow ourselves to actively live in. Fear of the unknown, fear of failure, fear of loss of control, and all other types of fear tend to draw our attention away from the peace God gives us and causes us to tailspin dive into fear and anxiety. Grab some coffee and sit back as we grow closer to God, together.
Today we are week 3 of our Intentional Living sermon series talking about denying our flesh and clinging to Christ alone. What is sin, why is it so bad, and how can we experience the victory over sin that Christ has promised us? We cover this and more as we examine Pauls letter to the Colossians and Jesus' temptation in the wilderness. Grab some coffee and let's grow closer to God, together!
Phillip and Ray come together in this episode to discuss the previous two sermons in the Intentional Living series! What is intentional growth with God, what is intentional faith, and how do the two go together? We touch on this and more in the next hour, so grab some coffee, find a nice place to listen, and hang out with us as we grow closer to God, together!
Today we dive in to one of my favorite moments in Numbers 13 and 14 to discuss the reality of intentional faith. How do we have faith and take God at His Word, and what are the things that may be holding us back in doing this? Faith isn't an accident, it happens intentionally. Grab some coffee and join us as we dive in to this eternal important truth!
Today we dive in to the first sermon in our Intentional Living sermon series! We are focusing on growth in our relationship with Jesus. How was Jesus intentional in His growth and relationship with God and how can we shape our lives to be more like Him? Grab some coffee and join us as we dive in to this amazing series!
Today we learn from guest speaker Cody Kramer teaching over Hosea. How is the gospel shown throughout this difficult book and how do we know more about Jesus by learning more about an adulterous marriage?

Today we go over Jonah 2 and the beautiful prayer of thanksgiving he gives inside the belly of the fish. What was his driving motivations of this prayer? What attributes about God are highlighted in this prayer, and how does it effect our life today and how is Jesus reflected in it? We answer these and more as we dive in to this amazing chapter of the book of Jonah!
What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Jonah? Yeah, me too. The big whale was the thing that was taught to us starting early in our lives at Sunday school and really the thing that stuck with us as it's such a unique part of the Bible! But there is so much more to the prophet Jonah than being swallowed by a fish. Like who is he really? Why was he running from God? What's his back story and is any of this story...
