"O my weary and burdened friend, this rest is for you! Do you know you need it? That's all you need to know." — Natalie Abbott, Dwell Differently

On today's episode: What are some of the ways you seek superficial rest when you really need the soul rest of Christ? How can you seek him first for the deep rest you need the next time you find yourself seeking shallow rest somewhere else? Yikes! These are the questions that Natalie and Vera are tackling on today's episode. Their confessions and suggestions are super helpful. You can read more about the real soul rest Jesus offers in Chapter 11 of Dwell Differently: Overcome Negative Thinking with the Simple Practice of Memorizing God's Truth. 

Today's verse: "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." — Matthew 11:28
