We recently heard a question about us. Someone asked another friend, "why do THEY have a podcast?" Instead of assuming their intentions behind the question, we prayed with the question. "Why?" In this episode we share why 2 nobodies, sinners, introverts, friends... felt led to begin a podcast. What are we trying to accomplish? What is the future of Draw Near? We also wanted to welcome our hundreds of new listeners, share more of our lives with everyone and answer a couple of common questions we hear.
Why Draw Near?: To grow in holiness together. Quite simply, we want to help others to encounter Christ; to grow in relationship with Him. But, we also want to help others encounter Christ in one another, and grow in relationship with each other. We want to shine the light of Christ so that even when we stumble through the darkness, we do this together following after Christ; that we may be light to one another, encourage one another, and build each other up. With the help of the grace of God, we just want to become saints, and help others to do the same.
