Ep 64: Dwell ("Psalm 27" by Steffany Gretzinger ft. Michael Koulianos)

11/6/25 Update:Spotify took down the original version of this podcast on 10.29.25 with no warning. Unfortunately, that has forced me to remove the song from this episode. At the end, I have directed listeners to click on the links below to listen to the song. I apologize about the incovenience. Thanks for the "warning" Spotify.

What does it really mean to “dwell in the house of the LORD”? In this episode we linger in Psalm 27:4—David’s “one thing”—and trace that longing from the wilderness tabernacle to Moses’ prayer, the sons of Korah’s song, Jesus’ call to abide, and the forever-dwelling of Revelation 21. Rebecca also shares a personal moment from this week that re-centered her heart on holy habitation—delighting in God Himself, not merely His gifts.

In This Episode

• Psalm 27:4–6 — the grammar of worship: dwell, behold, inquire

• Exodus 25; 29; 33; 40 — the miškan (tabernacle) and God’s chosen nearness

• Psalm 90:1 — before tents and temples, God Himself is our dwelling

• Psalm 84 & the sons of Korah — redeemed lineage, redeemed longing (“Better is one day…”)

• John 15 & 14:23 — abiding as joyful union; the Spirit making His home in us

• Ezekiel 37 → Revelation 21 — from “The LORD is there” to “Behold, God dwells with His people”

• Pastoral invitation — trading spiritual hurry for a life of holy habitation
