In this episode, we explore how the eternal realities of God and His Word restore a deep sense of awe in the hearts of believers. An audio version of the Richly Dwelling blog, this meditation weaves together research insights from the John Templeton Foundation study on the “science of awe” with the far greater, soul-stirring awe that comes from encountering the living God.
The conversation is sparked by a breathtaking moment: witnessing the northern lights from our property, The Dwelling, in southwest Colorado (pictured on the RichlyDwelling blog). That display of majesty becomes a window into the greater glory revealed in Scripture, specifically John’s vision of the resurrected and ascended Christ while exiled on the island of Patmos (Revelation 1:4–8).
As we reflect on God’s majesty in creation and His glory revealed in His word and redemptive works, we consider how awe transforms our Christian life and leadership by producing humility, deepening worship, expanding generosity, and reminding us that we are part of something far greater than ourselves.
Join us as we celebrate the awe-inspiring God who renews His people through His grace, His Word, and His presence.
