Dwell’s most formational features

Four ways to slow down, linger and let Scripture shape you.

Repeat

Memorize until it has you.

Loop a verse, passage or chapter and listen again and again. Hearing the same words over and over is how Scripture moves from your head to your heart, and how it comes back to you when you need it most.

Selah

The words pause. The music continues.

Sometimes a verse stops you. Tap Selah to pause the narration while the music keeps playing, and take as long as you need to reflect, pray or simply be still.

Read Along

Hear it and see it, together.

Follow the text with your eyes as you hear each verse read. When you see and hear the same words at once, your mind wanders less and more of what you hear stays with you.

Clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
Colossians 3:12

Create your own playlist

Build it once. Return to it every day.

Gather the verses you keep coming back to: the ones you’re memorizing, the ones that steady you when you’re anxious, the ones you want your kids to know. Search any passage, tap + to add it, and your playlist is ready whenever you need God’s word most.

Dwell is the best

Dwell is the only thing I like to listen to when I’m going to sleep

Nanni0104 · October 27, 2026
I am so thankful that the Lord brings my attention back to focusing on him

The Lord has a great way of reminding us of his love for us by relating to us with practical Scripture verses or words of wisdom from our Christian friends in a timely manner. 🙏

This is my favorite Bible Study!!

This is my 2nd year to do this study & I have learned many new things both years. I am planning to do it again next year. ❤️

WinstonAbby · October 24, 2026
Highly recommend if you want to put a Godly filter on what you put into your brain.

This helped me get through the Bible in its entirety. God has spoken to me through his word and used this app in a mighty way and I’m sure he will do the same for you.

____GARCIA____ · October 24, 2026
Life giving app

Dwell is an incredible life changing app. Getting to hear the Bible narrated the way it was originally heard by the original audiences. Great choice of voices and really good devotionals as well.

christianchicano · October 24, 2026
Great Way to Sit at God’s feet and listen

I have been enjoying going through the Bible Recap using the dramatized Bible option. Also when I have insomnia, it is nice to fall asleep to scripture.

CorbanShepherd · October 24, 2026
Favorite Bible App

Have been using for years and Dwell has definitely become my favorite Bible app! Please when you can update it for the iPhone Duo!

Devotion

Love the App, I am comforted to hear the Word of God while I travel in the car, Long commutes. I would be very appreciative if there were apps available for Laptops, Windows as well as Mac.

The best devotional tool!

I struggle with focus during my devotional time, especially early in the morning when I’m still groggy. Dwell has been the best solution for me! The listen and read along feature helps me keep focus, and I can even choose the reading voice that is most captivating to me at any given moment.

willsharpe42 · October 20, 2026
Great tool for daily devotions

I enjoy everything about this app because of the many options! Download and give it a try! You won’t be disappointed!

Debbe71* · October 20, 2026
Powerful daily devotionals when life is too busy

Like many of us, there is never enough time in the day for everything. Dwell makes it easy for me to spend a moment with my Savior, and listen for the Holy Spirit as it guides me.

KyleWLewis · October 19, 2026
Blessed resource

My family and I have been truly blessed by the content provided through this app. Truly grateful for the men and women whom take intentional time and preparation for each devotion shared daily. Thank you. This app has been a wonderful resource in guiding even my children in their faith with God.

Start the Day With Word

These Scriptures seemed to fall just on the day I need the . Just listening before i start the day can change the trajectory of my day.

MyGeege · October 16, 2026
An excellent resource

I love the ability to read and listen simultaneously. For me it greatly helps the retention of God’s beautiful Word. Praise God for his goodness and provision.

Daily devotional

I have struggled to sit down each morning and read the Bible. I have read the Bible once all the way through. Dwell gives me the opportunity to hear Gods word daily. I can be driving or at the gym and listen to the daily reading without having to stop everything and read the Bible. The readers do a great job at explaining what they just read.

crossfit jeff · October 14, 2026
Great app

I’ve been able to listen to the Bible for hours a day. This has truly made an impact on my life

Janessia G · October 12, 2026

I have really enjoyed starting my day with dwell. I get to wash my mind in scripture and listen to the devotionals. The people in dwell are excellent, I enjoy listening to them every day and what God has placed on their mind to share.

Voice options are a game changer!

The option to choose a voice works wonderful for our family bible study. We read thru The Bible Recap and chose a voice that the kids weren’t easily bored by. The daily reflections are incredible. A wonderful addition to my morning to set the day in truth and love for the Lord.

Bsfincher · October 8, 2026

I absolutely love this app. Worth every penny. This app was huge for me when I first got saved and still is

Dwelling In Him

I am so pleased with this App that allows me the opportunity to dwell with the Holy Trinity each and every day. The leaders of the daily devotional are like family and friends. The word of God is ushered in and my spiritual growth is strengthened everyday. God bless!😇

MrBurnette · October 1, 2026
Growing content with care

Initially I downloaded Dwell to have scripture readily available when I walk in the morning. It has become far more over the years increasing with quality devotionals. I like the slow pace of the pieces.

Krp10 · September 29, 2026
Dwell makes a difference!

I have had the Dwell app for three years and can’t believe what a difference it makes in my life. It has a way of calming me in the morning with the daily devotions. They’re just short enough and deep enough to set my focus for the day. I love it so much that I’ve given it away to ten special people in my life. Thanks to those who make Dwell possible!
