The Dwelling Place Lounge

What if the biggest problem in your life right now isn't your situation, but how you're seeing it? In this episode of The Dwelling Place Lounge, Phillip Jones sits down with Brayden to talk about the tension between God's reality and our perceived reality. Walking through 2 Kings 6, the story of Elisha and the unseen army becomes a powerful picture of what it looks like to trust God even when you can't see what He's doing. We talk about faith, anxiety, waiting seasons, prayer, pride, and why we're so quick to forget everything God has already done for us. Whether you're struggling to trust God, battling doubt, or just feel stuck in a season of waiting, this conversation will challenge you to see your circumstances differently. God hasn't stopped being faithful. The question is, are we remembering? If this helped you, share it with someone who needs encouragement today.

What if the goal of your life wasn't just to follow Jesus—but to raise people who go further than you ever did? In this episode of The Dwelling Place Lounge, I sit down with Karl Thistle to talk about real, biblical discipleship—not programs, not information dumps, but life-on-life transformation. Using the story of Elijah and Elisha, we unpack what it actually means to make disciples who make disciples. We talk about: • Why discipleship requires risk, time, and vulnerability • How self-doubt keeps us from stepping into what God already called us to • What to do if you feel unqualified to disciple someone • Why being teachable matters more than being smart • How real discipleship happens in everyday life, not just Bible studies • The goal of discipleship: not followers, but people who surpass you Jesus didn't call us to sit and consume—He called us to go and make disciples. The question is… are we actually doing that? If you've ever felt like you don't know enough, aren't ready, or don't know where to start—this conversation is for you.

Why do so many Christians feel exhausted, even when they're doing all the "right" things? In this episode, we talk about spiritual burnout, not just being busy, but what's actually happening underneath it. A lot of believers aren't walking away from God because they hate Him. They're burning out trying to perform for Him. What if the issue isn't how much you're doing, but how you see God? We break down what Scripture actually says about serving God, sonship, and why Jesus says His burden is light, but many of us feel crushed anyway. If God has started to feel more like a boss than a Father, this conversation is for you. This isn't about doing less. It's about understanding the gospel rightly, and letting that reshape how you live, serve, and rest.

Why does truth feel like an attack? In this episode, we dive into one of the most intense and powerful moments in the Bible—Elijah on Mount Carmel (1 Kings 18)—where one man stands against hundreds and calls an entire nation to make a decision. But this isn't just an ancient story… it's a mirror. We talk about what it really means to be challenged in your faith, why so many people today see Christianity as a threat, and how easy it is to confuse conviction with judgment. The reality is, being challenged isn't rejection… it's an invitation to grow. In this conversation, we unpack: -Why people push back against truth (and why it feels personal) -The difference between judgment vs. loving challenge -What happens when you try to live in both worlds of faith and culture -Why following God is a much bigger decision than most people realize -How to stand firm in your beliefs without becoming harsh or self-righteous -The role of God's power, not just words, in transforming lives -Why you might feel alone in your faith (and why you're not) We also get real about something most people don't talk about: 👉 Turning to God means confronting your past, your beliefs, and your identity, and that's not easy. But it's worth it. Elijah didn't just speak truth, he challenged people to respond. And that same challenge still exists today: If God is real… what are you going to do about it? This episode isn't about calling people out. It's about calling people up.

You feel restless. Stuck. Like you're just waiting. But what if this season isn't empty? In this episode, we unpack what's actually happening when life feels slow, boring, or directionless, and why those seasons are often where real dependence on God is built. In this epsisode talk about: -Why waiting seasons feel so frustrating -How comfort and distraction keep you restless -What God is doing behind the scenes -How to respond instead of just enduring it If you feel stuck right now, this will help you understand why, and what to do next.

Why aren't you changing the world yet? That question can stir ambition, guilt, insecurity, or frustration, especially if you feel called to more, but your life feels small right now. In this episode of The Dwelling Place Lounge, Phillip Jones is joined by his wife, Savannah Jones, for an honest conversation about calling, faithfulness, and what God is actually doing in seasons that feel slow, difficult, or unnoticed.  Using the story of Elijah and Israel's worship of Baal, we talk about culture, freedom, obedience, and why the desire to change the world often causes us to overlook the ministry God has already placed right in front of us. We also share personal stories about planting a church, moving across states, unmet expectations, financial strain, and learning that obedience doesn't always look like success. This episode is for anyone who feels stuck, behind, or discouraged in their calling. Sometimes the issue isn't that you aren't changing the world yet, but that God is forming faithfulness in places you never expected. In this episode, we talk about: Why "changing the world" is often misunderstood  Elijah, Baal, and confronting culture faithfully God's sovereignty in uncomfortable seasons Obedience that doesn't look impressive Faithfulness in marriage, parenting, and everyday work The danger of ignoring the ministry right in front of you Why God so often works through weakness instead of strength   If you've ever wondered why God hasn't moved you forward yet, this conversation is for you.

Waiting on God is one of the hardest parts of the Christian life. When you feel called, ready, willing — and the doors still don't open — it's easy to wonder if God forgot you. In today's episode, Vanessa and Phillip dive deep into the story of Abraham and Sarah to show what godly waiting actually looks like... and what happens when we try to take control into our own hands. We talk about impatience, disappointment, calling, ministry burnout, family pressures, and what Romans 8 really means when it talks about creation groaning. This conversation is honest, funny, challenging, and full of real‑life stories — from parenting, to failed plans, to seasons where God seemed completely silent. If you're in a season of waiting, this is for you. If you feel stuck, overlooked, or confused, this is for you. If you're tempted to force God's promises on your timing… this is definitely for you. This episode is all about trust. Present trust. Future trust. Eternal trust.

Grief is one of the hardest parts of life, and sometimes the hardest part of faith. When we're hurting, we often hear phrases like "God is with you" or "God will comfort you." But what does that actually mean when you're in the middle of loss? In this episode of The Dwelling Place Lounge, we talk honestly about grief, unmet expectations with God, and how faith and pain can exist at the same time. We discuss: • Why Christians still experience deep grief • The difference between running from pain and processing it • What God's comfort actually looks like • How grief can deepen our faith Grief doesn't mean God is absent. But sometimes His comfort looks different than we expect. If you've ever wondered "Where is God when I'm hurting?", this conversation is for you.

In this episode of The Dwelling Place Lounge, I sit down with my friend Adam from Glasshouse TV to talk honestly about unanswered prayer, God's goodness, sovereignty, and the painful moments when His answer is no or not yet. This episode gets personal. We talk anxiety, frustration, disappointment, and what Scripture actually teaches about prayer and the will of God. We look closely at Paul's thorn in the flesh in 2 Corinthians 12, Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, and what it means that God answers every prayer but often in a way that is different from what we expected. We also talk about the dangers of prosperity teaching, the pressure to perform for God, and how bad theology creates confusion and shame instead of comfort. Adam shares how God used years of closed doors to direct his steps, and I share my own story of praying for God to take my life during the darkest moments of depression and how His no ended up saving me. If you've ever wondered why God doesn't heal something, fix something, open a door, or give clarity when you ask for it, this conversation is for you. God is not ignoring you. He is not mad at you. He is not punishing you. A no or not yet from God is often an act of His goodness and love, even when it hurts. I hope this episode encourages you and helps you see that God's will is better, His timing is wiser, and His grace is sufficient for every weakness.

Should Christians call other Christians out? Or should we "just focus on our own sin"? In this episode, we wrestle with the tension between Matthew 7's "remove the plank from your own eye" and Matthew 18's "go to your brother". Using the story of David and Nathan in 2 Samuel 12, we unpack: When confrontation is obedience When it becomes pride or bitterness The danger of gossip disguised as concern Why public correction is complicated How to confront with humility and love If you've ever struggled with whether to speak up or stay silent, this conversation is for you.

Today on The Dwelling Place Lounge, Phillip sits down with Pastor Eric Knight to talk honestly about brokenness, sin, and the God who restores His children. Using Psalm 51 and David's repentance as the anchor, we walk through what brokenness actually is, why God uses it, and how humility—not self‑pity—is the path back to joy in Christ. We talk through the world's version of brokenness vs. the biblical one, why believers feel the weight of sin differently, and how the Spirit leads us toward repentance rather than condemnation. Phillip also opens up about his own season of brokenness, mental health, misplaced priorities, and learning to cling to Christ with desperation. If you're wrestling with sin, shame, or discouragement today, we pray this episode reminds you that God doesn't despise a broken and contrite heart—He draws near to it.

Discipline is one of the most misunderstood parts of the Christian life. In this episode, we walk through Hebrews 12 to explain what godly discipline is, and what it isn't.

When obedience doesn't lead to numbers, recognition, or influence, it can quietly shake everything you believe about success. In this episode, we have an honest conversation about faithfulness in places that feel unseen and overlooked.

We talk about: -The tension between obedience and visible "success" -Why numbers and influence aren't always signs of faithfulness -Resisting comparison in a world of celebrity pastors and platforms -Learning unity and submission under God's authority -Staying faithful when growth feels slow or nonexistent This episode is for anyone who has ever wondered if they're failing simply because their obedience hasn't produced what the world calls success.

You don't need a microphone, a stage, or a church job to be doing ministry.

A new year brings new goals, new plans, and new resolutions, but none of them transform us without Jesus. In this New Year episode of The Dwelling Place Lounge, pastors from across ChangePoint Alaska reflect on desperation, what it is, why we avoid it, and why it might be the most important posture for the year ahead. This conversation explores: -Why comfort dulls our dependence on God -Why desperation often only shows up in crisis -How humility and awareness fuel spiritual growth -Why true change doesn't start with effort, but with need If you're stepping into a new year and longing for deeper faith, this episode is for you.

Why is it so hard to accept grace, even when we believe it's true? Do you struggle more with believing you're forgiven, or living like you are? Comment down below! In this episode of The Dwelling Place Lounge, we wrestle with a tension many Christians live in every day: knowing we're forgiven, yet still carrying guilt and shame. Through Luke 2 and Romans 5, we talk about why grace often feels too free, why we keep trying to pay for what Jesus already finished, and how peace with God can exist even when we don't feel it. From the shepherds' invitation to "come and see" to our modern struggle with self-punishment, this conversation explores: -Why we reject grace even when we believe in it -How shame distorts our view of God and ourselves -What it actually means to be justified and at peace with God -Why joy feels hard when forgiveness feels undeserved This episode is for anyone who believes in Jesus, but still struggles to believe He really meant them.

This last week, Pastor Eric Knight taught our second installment of our 1 John sermon series, Firm Foundation.

Listen as we discuss verses 19-25, diving into what it means when the author of Hebrews is telling us to dwell with God, hold fast to our confession of faith, and consider each other.

Grab your coffee (or energy drink of choice) and pull up a seat—this one's all about confronting the truth that God created us to have community. 🎙️ Hosted by: Pastor Phillip Jones & Ray Daniel 📖 Based on: Hebrews 10: 19-25 🗣️ Series: Pathway: A Roadmap to Life in Christ at ChangePoint

In light of the new merger of The Dwelling Place church moving in to ChangePoint Eastside, Ray and I have decided to host a special edition episode for our new listeners to get to know us! In this episode, we burn our faces off to the point of no return eating the Hot Ones sauces and answering random questions about life, what-ifs, and more! If you are interested in knowing more about who the hosts are, this is the episode for you!

In my final sermon at The Dwelling Place before our merge with ChangePoint Eastside, we looked at Ecclesiastes 3 and the truth that there is a season for everything. God is with us in every moment—whether joyful or painful—and He makes all things beautiful in His time. We closed with Ephesians 5, reminding us to make the best use of our time for His glory. A bittersweet message of trust, hope, and walking with God through every season.

In this episode of The Dwelling Place Lounge, Pastor Phillip Jones and Ray Daniel sit down to dig deeper into Ecclesiastes 2 and unpack the heart behind the sermon, What's the Point?. Solomon's pursuit of joy, value, and identity apart from God didn't just fail him—it exposed the same thirst we all have today. We get real about what it looks like to chase pleasure, work, success, and even wisdom hoping it'll fill the void, and we explore how Christ doesn't just give us purpose—He is our purpose. We talk about the beauty of being made in God's image, and how that value is fully realized when our identity is rooted in Jesus. Grab your coffee (or energy drink of choice) and pull up a seat—this one's all about confronting the lie that "more" will fulfill you, and resting in the truth that only Christ can. 🎙️ Hosted by: Pastor Phillip Jones & Ray Daniel 📖 Based on: Ecclesiastes 2 🗣️ Series: What's the Point?

In Ecclesiastes 2, Solomon chases joy, value, and identity through pleasure, accomplishments, and wealth—only to find it all meaningless. In this sermon from our series What's the Point?, Pastor Phillip Jones shows how these same pursuits still leave us empty today. True joy, value, and identity are found in Christ alone. We are all made in the image of God, but that value is fully recognized when we belong to Him. If you've been searching for meaning in all the wrong places, this message will point you to the only One who can satisfy.

In the middle of Job's deep grief and suffering, Elihu stood up and spoke the unrelenting truth about the character and nature of God. He didn't shy away from hard conversations or uncomfortable moments—he knew the truth, believed the truth, and spoke the truth. In this message, we explore what it means for us as believers to be lifelong students of God's Word, growing in wisdom and courage to share truth even when it's risky, inconvenient, or unpopular. Will we stand for what is true when it costs us something?

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 reality of God's immutability? We answer this questions and more, so grab some coffee and let's grow closer to God, together!

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 explores: The cost of true discipleship Why following Jesus may cost you relationships, comfort, or even your identity How Jesus promises a hundredfold in return—now and in eternity The eternal hope that makes it all worth it Main Text: Luke 14:25–33 Preached by: Pastor Phillip Jones | The Dwelling Place Anchorage If you're ready to live intentionally for the Kingdom—this message is for you.

"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 have hands but cannot feel, feet, but cannot walk. They cannot make a sound with their throats. 8 Those who make them are just like them, as are all who trust in them." Today we dive in to Psalm 115, Pastor Phillip's favorite Psalm. What does this teach us about the heart of worship? What is the function of worship and role of it in church and the lives of the believer? What makes worship true, and when is it just for show? Grab some coffee and join us for this sermon as we grow closer to God, together!

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!

Today we dive in to one of my favorite moments in Numbers 13 and 14 to discuss the reality of intentional faith.

Grab some coffee and join us as we dive in to this eternal important truth!

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 even true?
