Kara Kardell
Co-Host of Draw Near
Kara is a wife and mother of 2. She was raised Catholic, but really FELL IN LOVE with the faith later in life. She loves fried-food and wine date nights with her husband and dance parties in the living room with her kids. She loves teaching her kids about the faith and watching them fall in love with Jesus!
She has a Master's Degree in Theology and some other degrees, but who cares! God works in each heart and reveals himself to every person in his living Word--the Bible! Because of this, Kara loves the Scriptures. She "nerds" out when teaching from Scripture, and tries to bring the Word of God to life in the heart of all who listen. Jesus encounters us each time we read the Bible!
Kara Kardell has hosted 178 Episodes.

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.
