Do you feel like your faith is small? Well, this episode is for you. Vera and Nat talk about what God requires. Vera says,"Thankfully God is not requiring the perfect person, the perfect faith, the perfect whatever. He is asking us to come raw and give him what we have, even if it's as small as a mustard seed. And, I just love that. I can show up with that."This episode is "so good".T R U L Y // I // T E L L // Y O U // I F // Y O U // H A V E F A I T H // A S // S M A L L // A SA // M U S T A R D // S E E D ,Y O U // C A N // S A Y // T O // T H I S // M O U N T A I N ," M O V E // F R O M // H E R E // T O // T H E R E , "A N D // I T // W I L L // M O V E .N O T H I N G // W I L L // B EI M P O S S I B L E // F O R // Y O U .M A T T  1 7 : 2 0 bSupport the showFollow Natalie & Vera at DwellDifferently.com and @dwelldifferently.

Freedom Stories. This month we've been telling our freedom stories. And, this last installment is soooooo good:Meet Sara! She is our customer service gal. We absolutely love her, and if you've ever had a question or concern, you probably get a sense of why we love her so much. Her love for Jesus is just evident, and she lives out her faith in serving our members! On the podcast this week, she shares her story of how God stepped in to her life. She went from thinking Christianity was weird, to thinking it was too good to be true, to actually taking that first step of faith. It's truly inspiring to hear. We know you will be blessed by it! So if the son sets you free, you will be free indeed. (John 8:36)Support the showFollow Natalie & Vera at DwellDifferently.com and @dwelldifferently.

So if the son sets you free, you will be free indeed. (John 8:36)This month we're celebrating our freedom in Christ by telling our stories. On this episode, hear about the amazing work of Jesus in the life of one of Dwell's Co-founders, Natalie Abbott. She spent almost two years searching for God before she came to a crisis of faith saying, "Either that book (the Bible) is true and completely worthy of my life, or I'm gonna burn it."Normally, Natalie hosts the show, but this week our other Co-founder, Vera Schmitz, does the interviewing. It's a fun and truly inspiring episode.Support the showFollow Natalie & Vera at DwellDifferently.com and @dwelldifferently.

They break down this month's verse about freedom in Christ. Here are some of the questions they tackle:What exactly does it mean to be set free?What are we set free from? How can we live more free lives on the daily? How can we share the freedom we have with others? It's some good stuff based on this goooood verse:S o // i f // t h e // S o ns e t s // y o u F R E E ,y o u // w i l l // b e F R E E  I N D E E D .J o h n  8 : 3 6Support the showFollow Natalie & Vera at DwellDifferently.com and @dwelldifferently.
