God Attachment Healing Sam

Understanding your attachment style is critical to helping you navigate your dating relationships. I discussed the significance of understanding attachment styles in romantic relationships, how these styles are established in childhood, and how those childhood experiences with our parents can significantly influence how we relate to others in adulthood. 

I discussed the four main attachment styles - secure, anxious, avoidance, and disorganized. I highlighted that a secure attachment style is the most common and desirable style since it leads to healthier connections with people. The meeting also touched on how past experiences and unmet needs can impact relationship dynamics, and I suggested a self-check to identify with common fears and thoughts. Furthermore, I discussed the impact of social media on relationships and suggested that understanding attachment styles can also enhance spiritual relationships.

On today's podcast, I discuss the following topics: 
Attachment styles in romantic relationships, Secure attachment styles,Secure vs anxious attachment styles, Anxiety, self-worth, and independence,Intimacy fears,Shame, fear and social media in relationships, andAttachment styles in romantic relationshipsSupport the showFOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM:

The church has a long history of addressing mental health issues and specifically doing what was called "soul care." Throughout the years, it was slowly taken over by secular counselors. In the modern era, the church has come to terms with the reality on how mental health issues are affecting the church. But, are we addressing it effectively and in a way that is still true and consistent with biblical principles? 

On today's podcast, Dr. Knapp and I discuss the differences in how Christians and culture view solutions for mental health issues. 
 
We also discuss the following topics: 
What is psychology? Existentialism - meaning, suffering, death and purpose/valueHow has the church handled mental health issues historically, What does the church do better when addressing mental health issues, What do modern counselors and psychologists do differently than how the church has handled them, Are there pros to secular counseling? Can Christians get better with having a secular counselor? The differences between Christian and secular counseling, Why those differences matter, andHow we can avoid allowing the culture to dictate to the church what healthy should look like. Connect and tune into Dr. Knapp's podcast "Mental Healthy" podcast and his new book "Healthy Depression" at the links below:

The process of grieving looks different for everyone, and it even happens with how fathers and mothers experience the loss of a child. It does not always look the way we want it to look, nor does it always follow the stages in the exact order in which it is presented. I think we can all agree that there are different types of suffering that bring on different levels of pain, and there is no greater pain a parent can experience than the loss of a child.  However, it is important for parents to understand that how they feel and what they think throughout this process is completely normal. The key is in reminding one's self of biblical truth and finding a strong Christian community for support. So, a question that naturally arises is, how can we trust God through the grieving process? 
 
 On today's episode, Christy and I discuss why this topic is so important to Christians who have experienced loss, but especially for parents who have lost a child. We also discussed the following topics: 
What Christy's parents example taught her  about Who God isExperiencing the loss of a childNegative messages that enter our minds and hearts during lossThe ministry of presenceExperiencing a second lossThe significance of namesBelieving "It's my fault" and "Is God punishing me?" Feeling judgedLastly, the "Dos" and "Don'ts" of how to support your friends experiencing griefIf you have any questions or comments on this topic, feel free to  email me at slconnect08@gmail.com

It seems like nowadays, it is popular for Christians to be deconstructing their faith. However, we have to understand that this has happened since the beginning of Christianity. The difference today is that after deconstructing, there are many who do so to excuse their sin and try to create their own version of who Jesus is, and if He does not fit into their mold, then they abandon Him completely. But why is this happening? 

On today's podcast, Justin Kintzel and I discuss what deconstruction is, why some Christians stay and others abandon their faith in Christ, explore the dangers of the prosperity gospel, and elaborate on why having a sound theology is important to deconstruct in a healthy way. 
 
We also discuss the following topics: 
Justin's personal testimony on deconstructionCultural do's and don'tsCultural ChristianityWhat God teaches us during sufferingLearning how to discern the Scriptures and apply it to our livesBeing careful with who we listen to, andHow growing up in the church can make us blind to our lack of fully and accurately understanding the BibleConnect with Justin at the links below:

Have you ever read the Psalms and felt like they took the words from the depths of your heart? Many of them are words filled with pain and suffering, and other times they are words full of joy and thanksgiving. As we'll explore today, there are a particular set of Psalms known as laments and they make up a significant amount of them. 

The question is, what is their purpose? We'll explore this and more in today's podcast. Prof. Matt and I discuss why the Psalms are critical for the life of a Christian and how we can find healing in connecting with the sentiments that the authors describe in these Psalms. 
 
We discuss the following topics: 
Introducing  the topic with key verses from Psalm 119What are the Psalms of lament?What is the context behind them? What can we learn from these Psalms?Confession and forgivenessHow do these lament Psalms bring healing to hurting hearts?, andWhat are some steps Christians can put into practice after today's episode?  If you have any questions or comments on this topic, feel free to  email me at slconnect08@gmail.com

Attachment styles are such an integral part of how we do relationships, and it is especially important to understand how ours operates within our own family dynamics. In fact, our familial relationships most accurately depict what our attachment styles are. 

When we learn how our attachment styles influence our ability to relate, regulate our emotions, parent better and develop self-awareness and self-compassion, we can relate better in our relationships. All of these skills become especially important in the process of adoption. My guest, Dayna Kumar, shares what her process of adoption looks like on this episode. Dayna and I also discuss the following topics:
Learning about the different attachment styles How attachment styles affect our parenting Learning how to attune to our children,Learning how to self-regulation to better co-regulateWhat the different stages and phases of parenting looks likeHow to develop self-awareness and self-compassionWhat the process of adoption looks like, andHow adoption applies to the GospelIf you have any questions or comments on this topic, feel free to  email me at slconnect08@gmail.com
