About the Authors

Natalie Abbott

Hey, I'm Natalie. I've got five kids, and I'm married to Jason, who's a pastor. So we are full-on Jesus freaks over here! I love summer and Earl Gray tea and the Bible and fiction and poetry and pretty much all the words! I write for Dwell Differently and host our podcast among other things. It is seriously my dream job. I get to work with my ridiculous sister and tell people about Jesus! Who could ask for anything more?!?!

Vera Schmitz

What's up! I'm Vera, married to my college sweetheart, Matt, and mom to three boys. My favorite part of Dwell Differently is watching how a verse can come alive artistically, and then to see how it impacts the lives of our team, followers, and members. Thank you for letting us be a part of your walk with God--I can truly say it is one of the greatest honors of my life!

About the Author

Natalie Abbott: Natalie and her husband, Jason, live in Jefferson City, MO with their five kids. Natalie spent a long couple of years investigating God in college before finally understanding his perfect love for her in Christ. The journey since her conversion has been one of increasing wonder and humility at the sacrifice and continued love of Jesus for her. She consistently goes to the well of God's word to drink deeply and find joy.

Vera Schmitz: Vera and her husband, Matt, live in St. Louis, Missouri with their two sons. After competing for 5 years in professional athletics, Vera felt a stirring to share the hope of Jesus in a practical way. Vera's unique background in high level sports has taught her the importance of having a sound mind -one that does not dwell in the negative. She believes it's possible and actually vital to dwell differently.
"If it is important for sport performance, is it not so much more important in our REAL lives, our marriages, parenting, professions, and the things that truly matter to have a sound mind?" -Vera Schmitz
