This episode of Draw Near contains adult themes; we do not recommend listening in the presence of children.

Through an honest conversation with Kara, Fred reflects on his childhood, the hardships he experienced, and the wounds throughout his early life. He shares why he often says, "I shouldn't be alive," and how there were moments when his future seemed uncertain.

Yet this episode is about far more than suffering or past wounds. Looking back, Fred can now see how Christ was present even in the darkest seasons: through unexpected people, quiet moments of grace, and circumstances that helped lead him toward healing and faith. What once seemed like random events now reveal a story of God's providence and relentless pursuit.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Fred's childhood and family experiences
  • The challenges and wounds that marked his early years
  • Why he says he "shouldn't be alive"
  • The lasting impact of suffering and brokenness
  • Where Christ was present throughout the journey
  • How God works even when we cannot see Him
  • The path that eventually led Fred to deeper faith and conversion
  • Hope for anyone who feels trapped by their past

Whether your story is marked by loss, pain, disappointment, or unanswered questions, this conversation is a reminder that God is never absent. He is often working in ways we cannot yet understand.

As Jesus says in the Parable of the Prodigal Son (and Kara referenced in the episode):
"For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found." (Luke 15:24)

No wound is beyond Christ's reach. No story is beyond redemption.

This episode takes an honest look at what it means to actually live Jesus words from Scripture and his personal promptings to each of our hearts.

]]> The Sacrifice of Our Lives (MLMG Ep 21) https://drawnear.fireside.fm/163 83e48e61-2e99-40b5-9a18-ad97b9f03c1b Fri, 16 Feb 2024 00:00:00 -0600 Fred Shellabarger and Kara Kardell full Fred Shellabarger and Kara Kardell In this episode we are joined by our friend, catholic speaker, author, filmmaker, founder of the Science of Sainthood, and host of the Art of Catholic podcast, Matthew Leonard. What was the journey from being a Protestant pastor's kid to receiving Christ in the Eucharist like for Matthew? How did meeting one Catholic family who did "relational evangelization" well set him on a new path? Matthew and Fred share what it is like to discover Catholic teaching, and how it led them both through an, at times, confusing process asking the Lord, "Who are you?" Why was the question of authority so critical in this process? This, too. is discussed. We look at the "pedestal" that converts can sometimes be placed on, and offer some encouragement for cradle Catholics. Matthew also describes the radical new way he encountered Christ in the Eucharist and the realization of becoming a part of a family that goes beyond his blood relations, and _why that matters_! Finally, we look at the central question of our show: "How has your encounter with Christ in the Eucharist changed your life?" The answer to this question has everything to do with how we build our lives; what we are centered on (or more accurately, WHO we are rooted in). Should our encounter with Christ in the Eucharist be evident to those around us? If so, how? What is the role of sacrifice in a Eucharistic life?
