Hearing God: Does God Speak to Me?
August 30th, 2023 | 30 mins 20 secs
god speaks, hearing god's voice, relationship, sheep, shepherd
We are back!!! In this episode, we reflect on our experiences coming back from our summer "break", unplanned home renovations and being a sheep. In all these things, the Lord was speaking! But what do we mean by the Lord was "speaking?" What does it mean to hear the Lord's voice? Is hearing the Lord's voice something we all can do? What does this have to do with sheep and our identity? These are the questions we seek to answer in the first of a series on "Hearing the Lord's Voice." Hearing the Lord's voice is not a privilege to be earned, but rather an inheritance, a promise from our loving Father. As such, we hope this series will help you grow in your relationship with the Lord, and hear the voice of our Shepherd.

What Makes Us Different? (ISAM PREVIEW 1: Ep. 1)
May 26th, 2023 | 3 mins 39 secs
We have some exciting news to share with our listeners!
We have partnered with our long time ministry colleague and friend Eric Gallagher in forming a ministry apostolate. Phase 1 of this effort, launches on the Feast of Pentecost: May 28, 2023! Much more to come as it is not simply a podcast!
Draw Near listeners may recognize that the name sounds familiar. That's because the three of us drew inspiration from what we have seen and witnessed in our many years of combined ministry experience, in our time forming disciples, and of course in our own seeking to grow in relationship with Christ. We also drew inspiration from this: https://www.drawnear.me/blog/iseeamovement
You will hear more about this in our first two episodes which launch on Pentecost! In the meantime, enjoy these previews!

By Whose Authority: Catholic teaching on Divine Revelation
May 19th, 2023 | 46 mins 15 secs
apologetics, catholic beliefs, scripture, tradition
Why don't Catholics believe in sola scriptura (Scripture alone) as the authority of faith? This is a common question posed to Catholics, but are we prepared to answer it? In this episode of Draw Near, Fred and Kara take up this question of authority pulling from Scripture itself.
