DN Classics: You Talking About Me?

About this Episode

In this classic Draw Near episode, we revisit a heartfelt conversation with our friend Sr. Fidelis Marie about what it really means to love one another well — not in theory, but in the daily decisions that shape our relationships and communities. If you’ve ever wrestled with empathy, boundaries, or how to grow in authentic charity, this episode will encourage and challenge you in all the right ways.

In this episode, we explore:

How to tell the difference between healthy venting and harmful gossip

Why it’s so easy to expect empathy but harder to give it

How our wounds, assumptions, and interior habits shape the way we treat others

What it looks like to approach relationships with intentionality, vulnerability, and authentic love

Whether our culture is slowly training us to stop seeing one another as human beings

Why evaluating intentions — our own and others’ — matters for spiritual growth

Join us for a conversation that keeps unfolding long after the episode ends. This is one worth returning to — and we’re glad to share it with you again.
