"We all have stuff. Big stuff. Work stuff. Health stuff. Relationship (marriage, friend, children) stuff. Past stuff. Present stuff. Just stuff."
—Vera Schmitz, Dwell Differently

On today's episode: Vera and Natalie are talking about how they deal with their own stuff—their anxiety, insecurity, depression, and other various negative thoughts. They share how memorizing God's Word has helped them experience joy and peace and freedom. And they want to help you do the same. So they wrote a book: Dwell Differently: Overcome Negative Thinking with the Simple Practice of Memorizing God's Truth. On every episode of the podcast, they'll talk about each chapter in the book—sharing how each specific Bible verse in each chapter has helped them overcome a particular struggle.

"When we follow Jesus, when we accept God's love, we are children of God. And that's beautiful." — Vera Schmitz

On today's episode: Vera and Natalie talk in detail about the radical love God has for us when we trust in Jesus. They answer this question: What do you most need to hear and believe about God's love for you—that it's dependable, extravagant, accepting, or intimate? It's a question they ask at the end of Chapter 3 of their book, Dwell Differently. If you haven't read the chapter yet, take some time to read it and remind your own heart about the dependable, extravagant, accepting, intimate love of God.

Today's verse: "See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!" — 1 John 3:1a
