Using Dwell to Memorize and Reflect on Scripture

Dwell has two features designed to help you slow down, sit with God's Word, and commit it to memory: Repeat and Reflect. Both are found in the same place and can be used together or independently.

To access them, tap the controls button at the bottom of your screen while listening. You'll see a list of all customizable options in the app.


Repeat

Toggle the Repeat switch to the on position. You'll be prompted to choose what you'd like to repeat, select the option that fits what you're listening to.

💡 Pro Tip: If you want to repeat a specific verse or a few verses, use the Search feature. Tap "Search" at the bottom of your home screen, type the verse(s) you'd like to repeat, and choose them from the results. Once you tap play, you'll see the option to repeat your selection.


Reflect

Toggle the Reflect switch to the on position. You'll be prompted to choose when you'd like the audio to pause:

  • Between Verses inserts a pause between each verse throughout your selection

  • Between Tracks inserts a pause between each item in the player

    • Listening to a playlist? A pause will follow each track, no matter how many verses it contains

    • Listening to a chapter? A pause will follow each chapter

    • Listening to a book of the Bible? A pause will follow each book

Below the pause options, you'll find a slider to set the length of each pause, anywhere from 3 seconds to 3 minutes, giving you time to meditate and sit with what you've just heard.


Repeat and Reflect work independently of one another, so you can use either or both depending on what suits your time with the Lord best. We've found both to be really valuable tools for verse memorization! 🙏
