God, If You're There... Natalie's Story

“I went on this quest where I was like, if there is a God, I guess I should give him a fair shake (or her or them). So I started praying every night...'God if you're there, show me who you are.'"

If you've been praying for someone who is far off from God, let this episode be an encouragement to you. Natalie Abbott (Dwell Differently Co-founder) shares her own story of how God transformed her life—bringing light into darkness and life where there was death. She helps us see how beautiful the love and forgiveness of Jesus sounded to her when she was lost and lonely, trying desperately to fill herself up with empty things. May her story remind you of God's loving pursuit of all people and your calling to be a part of that pursuit.
