Helping each listener to draw near to Christ, his infinite love, and to one another.
“Jesus himself drew near.” (Lk 24:15)
God takes the initiative to draw near to us out of a deep and personal love for each one of us. This movement asks each of us for a response. There are so many beautiful ways we can respond to the work of God's grace and the power of the Holy Spirit at work in our lives. This is a journey we share together, drawing near to Christ as we draw near to one another. This shared journey toward Christ, rooted in the Catholic faith, is the focus of our podcast. Our goal is to be authentic, honest, humble, faithful, loving, passionate, real and vulnerable in each episode. We also like to keep it lighthearted. We are two best friends, sharing life together with our families. We invite you to join us as we Draw Near. Let's grow towards sainthood together!

Do you struggle with anxiety or depression? How do we reconcile the faith, God's will, and Scripture with feelings of anxiety and depression?
Full of Grace
December 8th is the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. Listen to this Draw Near podcast shorty to learn more about this feast. Mary was set apart for all of time! Scripture shows this. She was preserved from sin from the moment of her creation. Listen to Kara teach through a short Scriptural study on Mary and the dogma of her Immaculate Conception.
Praying the Catechism and God’s Incredible Love for You
In this Shorty, Fred shows us how to not only pray with Scripture, but also how to pray with the Catechism of the Catholic Church, which is itself filled with Scripture. This book, a summation of the Catholic faith, is not merely a reference book. The Church teaches Truth, and we are invited to not simply learn this truth, but pray with it! Fred presents a method for praying the Catechism, and reflects on the profound truth and beauty that is revealed in the process.
The Word is Alive
Scripture is the Living Word of God. It is there, in Scripture, that we encounter Christ. It is through study and prayer of the Word that we walk with God and speak with Him.
