In this special DWELL Recap episode, we sit down with Belen Toledo to journey through the entire Book of Ruth — a story of loss, loyalty, divine providence, and breathtaking redemption.

If you’ve been part of our Encountering Redemption online study, this conversation will feel like a warm, spirit-filled extension of everything God has been showing us. And if you’re listening for the first time, get ready — this tiny book carries a massive revelation of God’s heart.

Together, we dive into:

🌾 Chapter 1 — Return:
Why redemption begins with a decision to come home to God.
How Naomi’s bitterness becomes the soil for breakthrough.
Why Ruth’s loyalty reveals the transforming power of influence.

🌾 Chapter 2 — Providence:
How ordinary obedience positions us inside divine appointments.
What Ruth teaches us about humility, work ethic, and favor.
Why nothing in the Kingdom is coincidence.

🌾 Chapter 3 — Preparation:
The prophetic meaning behind “wash, anoint, and put on your best garment.”
How Ruth’s immediate obedience reflects the posture of a prepared bride.
Why timing, wisdom, and purity matter in spiritual pursuit.

🌾 Chapter 4 — Redemption:
Boaz as a powerful picture of Jesus, our Kinsman-Redeemer.
The mysterious significance of the closer relative…
And why Perez — the “breakthrough” lineage — is woven into Ruth’s story.

This episode will help you see Jesus shining through every chapter and remind you that God is always working in the dark, weaving redemption even when we can’t see the thread.

Whether you’re in a season of returning, gleaning, waiting, or stepping into your next chapter — this conversation is for you.

Listen in and encounter the Redeemer in a fresh way.

What do you do when God asks you to wait?

In this Dwell conversation, we dive into The Secret of Waiting—unpacking why waiting seasons are not wasted seasons. Drawing from biblical examples like Abraham & Sarah, David, and the disciples waiting for Pentecost, we explore how God builds endurance, humility, and total dependence on Him in the delay.

In this episode, we talk through:

• Why waiting reveals the posture of our hearts

• The difference between passive waiting and active, faith-filled waiting

• How God uses “delay” to prepare us for destiny

• The promises we forfeit when impatience drives us out of the secret place

• Encouragement to trust that “God doesn’t plant fake seeds”—if He started it, He will finish it
  

Whether you’re in a season of silence, delay, or expectation, this episode will encourage you to stay planted, stay faithful, and stay watchful—because waiting is part of the process that births the promise.

In this powerful second episode of DWELL: Where Conversation Carries the Word Deeper, we unpack the truths behind The Secret of Dwelling.

Do you visit God occasionally, or do you DWELL in His presence daily?

Join us as we sit down with Bible teacher and prayer warrior Janice Crespo to revisit this week’s Soul of Worship Bible Study and explore:

💭 What it really means to “dwell” in the secret place

🌿 The difference between hosting God's presence and just stopping by

🛑 The spiritual dangers of a visitation mindset

🪔 How abiding in God becomes the strategy for spiritual authority, peace, and power

🔥 Why consistency in your secret place life builds spiritual immunity and intimacy

Whether you caught the Bible study live or not, this conversation is your chance to go deeper and apply the Word with clarity and boldness.

📌 Episode Summary:

In this special kickoff episode of DWELL, we go behind the scenes of our first week in The Secret Place Bible study series.

Janice Crespo, Belen Toledo, and I unpack what it really means to enter into the secret place with God, why intimacy must come before activity, and how Matthew 6:6 challenges us to shift from public performance to private pursuit.

This episode isn’t a replay — it’s a real, Spirit-led conversation full of revelation, practical questions, and Holy Ghost conviction. Whether you missed the Bible study or want to go deeper, this is for you!

🕊️ You’ll learn:

• What the “secret place” actually is

• Why it’s not just about location — it’s about posture

• How to reset your rhythm to prioritize intimacy over output

• And how to practically return to a deeper place of fellowship with God
