“This was the first time that we felt like a study drew us closer to the Lord. That the activities were not filling in a blank but they were taking you straight to the Lord and you were wrestling through a problem with him.”
— Michelle Slatton
“Once I had interacted with the practices a few times, several of the steps were planted in my mind in such a way that God now uses them in very practical ways to draw my thoughts back to Him when I am in difficult situations.”
— Mike Parker

What brought about the
development of DrawNear?
A team of theologians, ministry leaders, and learning science practitioners from a range of Christian traditions.
We are united and driven not only by our faith in Jesus Christ but also by a commitment to help strengthen the Church.
A belief that every person struggles with problems that are spiritual in nature, which can only be solved with God’s help.
We’ve observed that while the steps to receiving God’s help are straightforward, few people have been taught how to use them.
The neuroscience-based process called Deep Practice makes learning dramatically more rapid and more enduring.
This inspired us to combine Deep Practice with the practices of the Christian faith to make a set of “Biblical practice tools.”
