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. God is alive in the Word! 
We might struggle to hear God&#39;s voice. Maybe it&#39;s hard to grow in holiness. But the one thing that is absolutely essential to grow closer to God is time with Scripture! 
In this &quot;shorty,&quot; Fred and Kara talk about the importance of Scripture. They share life-changing passages in their own lives, give tips to study Scripture, and teach how to pray with Scripture. It truly is a MUST!

Praying the Catechism and God's Incredible Love for You

At Draw Near, we explore the beautiful truth that God, out of His deep and personal love for each of us, takes the first step to draw near. But this divine movement calls for a response—a response that shapes our lives and transforms our hearts. Together, we embark on this journey of faith, discovering the many ways God's grace and the power of the Holy Spirit work within us. Rooted in the Catholic faith, our podcast is a space where authenticity meets joy. We’re two best friends navigating life, family, and faith with honesty, humility, and a lot of love. Each episode is a heartfelt conversation—sometimes deep, sometimes lighthearted, but always real. We strive to be vulnerable, faithful, and passionate, sharing insights and stories to inspire you on your path toward Christ. This is more than a podcast; it’s a shared journey toward sainthood. So come laugh with us, reflect with us, and grow with us as we Draw Near to God and one another. Let’s set out together on this adventure of faith, friendship, and grace.
