On today's episode, Natalie Abbott and Vera Schmitz are talking about their new book Dwell Differently: Overcome Negative Thinking with the Simple Practice of Memorizing God's Truth. They discuss how sometimes we get stuck in thought paths that are so consistent and repetitive it's like those paths have become superhighways—and we need an off-ramp. God's Word is that off-ramp! In today's discussion, they talk about the significance of memorizing God's truth, the verses that speak most to them from the book, and the fact that God himself is the one who works to transform us through the power of his Word.
