Pat Mingarelli Drawing Near to God on the Leaders of Leaders Podcast with Aaron GuyettPat has enjoyed God, photography, and the outdoors since childhood. He graduated from Bowling Green State University in Ohio with a degree in photojournalism. After graduating Pat worked with a newspaper before moving on to a Christian magazine. He left the Christian magazine to focus on celebrating God as Creator through photography. He currently does freelance photography, and has taught photography workshops and classes for colleges and community organizations. He now shows others how they can draw near to God through nature photography. He lives in Bellevue, Nebraska with his wife and two children.In Pat’s WordsI recently wrote a devotional called Drawing Near: Meeting God in His Creation. The professionally published book uses beautiful photography, Scripture verses about nature and devotional messages to bring busy people to secluded places where they can draw near to God.In conjunction with the idea of drawing near to God I am beginning to put together Drawing Near to God Photography Retreats and Workshops. Life today is filled with distractions and stress. The distractions and stress can be overwhelming and keep us from drawing near to God and connecting with Him. When we enter into the outdoors we step out of the stresses of the man-made world and into the God made world. That sets us up for an encounter with God. Over the years I have spent countless hours photographing God’s creation. Through those times I’ve learned to draw near to God. When done in an intentional manner, nature photography makes for a great way to connect with God and I’m now helping others do this.I also have a website called the Visual Bible Verse of the Day https://visualverse.thecreationspeaks.com/Each day I post a photograph of God’s creation along with a Bible verse and some quick devotional thoughts. It’s similar to my book, only the devotions are considerably shorter.Support Brian Sauvé here: https://www.briansauve.com/even-dragons-shall-him-praise Check Out Brian SauvéLeadersofLeaders.comDiscipledinChrist.orgDiscipledinChrist.comSupport the showHelp Support Our Podcast and Projects Here
