Closer
Billy Draper
What do you think of when you hear the words faith, God, Jesus, the Bible, church or any word affiliated with religion? For some hands are thrown into the air and "hallelujahs" are immediately declared. For others, questions, skepticism and curiosity follow, and some flat out shake their heads "no" and turn to run the other direction. Closer is a podcast that allows me to share my first-hand experience as a Jesus follower exploring God and faith. My hope is that by sharing my experience I not only expose listeners to truth, misconceptions, ideas, questions, and concepts regarding God and faith, but by doing so I better understand and draw closer to God. PS - This show isn't produced by a church, pastor or religious organization. It is hosted by a guy on a quest to get closer to God each and every day. Tune in.

If God is love then why should we fear him? It's a concept many struggle to understand. Better understanding what it means to fear might not be as scary as it sounds.

Becoming closer to God, acting in the ways of Jesus, or simply being a better person each and every day is not easy. It takes practice. And when you practice you have a much better chance to transform those parts of you that you just don't like.
In this episode I talk about the concept of metanoia - a transformative change of heart - and how through my spiritual practice God has provided me with a much needed new direction for me.

Go to church, pray and study your Bible. For the majority of my Christian life I have been led to believe that these three ways were the only ways to connect with God. However, important as they are, there are more ways to connect with God than we may realize.

What happens when the church you love and trust sends you mixed signals? Trust me, it's not as dramatic as it sounds, but it Is a test of authenticity and a lesson for the one less "loved" to learn and grow from.
