“When you’re following someone who is lost, do you understand that you’re also going to be lost? It’s important that individually, we are all following Jesus—the Way, the Truth, the Life—leading us to the Father so that we know where we are leading other people as well.” — Sadie Robertson Huff

This month’s memory verse: “So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.” — Hebrews 10:35

Today’s podcast: Vera Schmitz, co-founder of Dwell Differently, and Sadie Robertson Huff, author and speaker, are talking today about every believer’s call to be an influencer—not just those with a notable social media following. Listen in for the best advice Sadie has ever received, a more biblical definition of “influencer,” how to be a light on social media, and why dwelling on truth about who Jesus is (and who we are because of him) is foundational to our confidence.

Our March Dwell guest: Meet Sadie Robertson Huff! Sadie is a wife, mom, author, and speaker—and those are only a few of her titles! This girl is busy and she's on a mission. Her love for Jesus and the Word are infectious, and we know that you're going to absolutely love hearing from her this month!

“You can’t rely on your feelings. You have to rely on what’s actually true—who God actually is and what he actually says about you.” — Vera

This month’s memory verse: “So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.” — Hebrews 10:35

Today’s podcast: Join Natalie and Vera—sisters and co-founders of Dwell—as they take a look at the confidence our verse of the month is talking about, some  times in their own lives when they’ve come face-to-face with a lack of confidence (and how Dwell was born in the midst of one of those seasons!), and some super helpful ways we can practice putting our confidence in Jesus. You won’t want to miss it!

Our March Dwell guest: Sadie Robertson Huff will be joining Vera on the podcast starting next week! Be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss their conversations about Hebrews 10:35 and what it looks like to live out the truth of Scripture in our everyday lives.

“God’s love is so different from the relationships we have in this world, where there’s always the expectation of giving and receiving. God is love. He is the epitome of love. There’s nothing I have to do to engage in the process, or give back. I just receive it. It’s almost hard for the brain to compute, but there’s something really special about that.” — Debra Fileta

This month’s memory verse: “And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.” — 1 John 4:16

Today’s podcast: Natalie and Debra are digging into our verse for this month: 1 John 4:16. Listen in for a conversation about what it means that God is love, how Jesus comes to give us a new identity in him, and the absolute confidence we can have in the love of God for us.

Our February Dwell guest: Meet Debra Fileta, a Licensed Professional Counselor and the author of 5 books on the topics of dating, marriage, love, and healthy relationships (see links below).  Her heart for Jesus informs her work, her writing, and her conversation with us about what love is.

We're a full week into February, so you've probably had a minute to check out this month's verse - 1 John 4:16! What do you think?! We hope that the truth of living in God's love, and him living in you, is blessing you deeply.  Today's conversation could've lasted a long time, but we did our best to squeeze it into just a bite-sized amount of time so that you can dip your toes into the waters of what we're memorizing together for the month of February.  Thanks for listening, friends.

On today's show we're talking about:
- Our value in God's eyes
- Relying on God's love
- Reminding our people of their worth
- Tiny doors and matryoshka dolls...you're just going to have to listen to understand!
