Drawing near means bringing God the real stuff we would rather hide, and then taking time to hear what is on his heart. Stories from Honduras and Indonesia contrast religious routine with genuine desire, showing that the Holy Spirit deepens our longing for God beyond habits and shoulds. The challenge is to carve out real time this week to turn our hearts to God, expecting him to draw near to us as he promised.<\/p>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_384\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-2232-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/livinglightmc\/20260927_Draw_Near_to_God.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/livinglightmc\/20260927_Draw_Near_to_God.mp3\">https:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/livinglightmc\/20260927_Draw_Near_to_God.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/div><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"https:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/livinglightmc\/20260927_Draw_Near_to_God.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/livinglightmc.com\/?powerpress_pinw=2232-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/livinglightmc\/20260927_Draw_Near_to_God.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"20260927_Draw_Near_to_God.mp3\">Download<\/a><\/p><!--powerpress_player-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Troy Landis opens Hebrews 10:19-25, where the writer calls us to draw near to God with a sincere heart because [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2231,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"enclosure":"https:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/livinglightmc\/20260927_Draw_Near_to_God.mp3\n10950189\naudio\/mpeg\na:6:{s:8:\"duration\";s:7:\"0:22:49\";s:12:\"set_duration\";s:1:\"0\";s:8:\"set_size\";s:1:\"0\";s:8:\"explicit\";s:1:\"0\";s:12:\"episode_type\";s:4:\"full\";s:10:\"podcast_id\";s:0:\"\";}","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2232","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sermons","post-thumbnail-displayed"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/livinglightmc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/featured_20260927.jpg?fit=1200%2C675&ssl=1","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/livinglightmc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2232","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/livinglightmc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/livinglightmc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livinglightmc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livinglightmc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2232"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/livinglightmc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2232\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2233,"href":"https:\/\/livinglightmc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2232\/revisions\/2233"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livinglightmc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2231"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/livinglightmc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2232"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livinglightmc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2232"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livinglightmc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2232"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
