Natalie Abbott & Vera Schmitz
If you were our friend, and if we could look you in the eyes and see your struggles and know you fully, and if we could only give you ONE thing—we'd give you God’s Word. There is more power and love and truth in one verse than in a thousand other words. So, let us help you memorize God's words in a simple, easy way. We hope you'll love listening in while we chat about what our verse means, why it matters, and how it intersects with our daily lives.

Empowered by the Spirit - Vera & Natalie
This month we are talking about how God's own Spirit lives in us, giving us power, love, and self-discipline. Oh YEAH! Vera and Nat take you through each of these concepts, talking about which of these gifts of the Spirit speaks most to them, why this verse only tackles three gifts of the Spirit, and even the why some translations have sound mind instead of self-discipline. It's some good stuff people.Can't wait to get going on this verse:F o r // t h e // S p i r i t G o d // g a v e // u sd o e s // n o t // m a k e u s // t i m i d // b u t g i v e s // u s // p o w e r l o v e // a n d // s e l f - d i s c i p l i n e 2 // T i m o t h y // 1 : 7For more insights into this month's verse, check out Natalie's weekly devo on the Dwell website, www.dwelldifferently.com.Support the showFollow Natalie & Vera at DwellDifferently.com and @dwelldifferenly.

The Art of the Gracious "No" - Alli Worthington
This episode is so so good. Alli is bringing it home and wrapping up her last episode with us by leaving us with some very encouraging tips on how to put rest into practice. She's giving us permission to offer a gracious "no" when we need to. She's encouraging us to take care of what's in front of us. And, she's even suggesting that we make a "stop doing" list. We hope that this verse and these conversations have encouraged you to find rest this month. Thanks for listening!Find out more about Alli Worthington here.r e t u r n // t o // y o u r // r e s tm y // s o u l f o r // t h e // L o r d h a s // b e e n // g o o d // t o // y o u.p s a l m 116 : 7Support the showFollow Natalie & Vera at DwellDifferently.com and @dwelldifferenly.
