TRAINING FOR THE OLYMPICS, TRAINING FOR LIFE

Training for the Olympics, Training for Life: As we celebrate the 5 year anniversary of Dwell Differently, Vera Schmitz, co-founder of Dwell, talks with her good friend Kelsie Holahan about how Dwell came to be. Listen in as they share about their days of training together for the Olympic trials as pole vaulters, why Vera started writing Bible verses on her arm, and how the mental fortitude they developed in training has helped them replace lies with truth in their everyday lives.

Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path. — Psalm 119:105
