God's Word, deep in our soul | with Vera Schmitz, Dwell Differently

Gospel Spice | Christian faith, God's love & the Bible

Stephanie here! I'm welcoming you into a conversation where we kick off talking about the Olympic games. My guest, Vera Schmitz, used to train to go to the Olympics. She'll tell us how that worked out, and how the Lord led her in a very different way with her sister Natalie to be the cofounder of Dwell Differently. It's a truly vibrant online community, committed to memorizing God's Word together every single month. Vera tells us what happens when we have God's word in our brain all the time, stored in our hearts, deep in our soul, at the tip of our tongue. It's not just about memorizing verses, but about being radically transformed by the power of God's word. When we engage in deep devotionals and discussions, we apply the truth practically and experience life change. In a world where truth is often subjective and ever-changing, the importance of being tethered to the rock-solid truth of Scripture cannot be understated. The Bible's reliability provides an unwavering foundation for our lives. Investigate it, stand on it, and allow it to shape your reality!

Vera and I also discuss the significance of not being afraid and finding courage in God's promise to be with us. Through prayer and community, we can overcome challenges and find strength in Christ. The Holy Spirit intercedes for us when we struggle to find the words, and prayer becomes a vessel for His work.

MORE ABOUT THE BOOK

What if you had God's words with you all the time? Not just on your phone, but deep in your soul and on the tip of your tongue? It may sound daunting, or even impossible.
Knowing how hard Scripture memorization can be, Dwell Differently founders Natalie Abbott and Vera Schmitz created a simple, creative, and smart way to memorize Scripture and keep God's promises in your heart. Natalie and Vera not only reveal the importance of having a mind built on God's Word, they actually give you the tools necessary to defeat negative thoughts. In doing so, they help you:
· fight lies with truth
· replace fear with peace
· focus your heart on what really matters
In a world filled with negative voices competing for our attention, just one word from God is more powerful than any other. It's time to store up a wealth of them.

MORE ABOUT VERA SCHMITZ

Sisters. Friends. Jesus peeps. That's us.

We’re Natalie and Vera—sisters from a big fat family of seven with so many similarities. We look the same—no we aren’t twins! We love the same food—homemade tortillas with LOADS of butter. And we share the same passion—helping people connect with God through his Word. That’s why we do what we do over here, showing up each month, memorizing a new verse. We talk about it on our weekly podcasts and devos and on Instagram every day… BECAUSE, we really believe that the God of the universe loves us and has spoken to us in the Bible. And when we are in it, we can know him and experience freedom and life and transformation. Won’t you come along with us? — Natalie & Vera
