35. Why You Feel Far From God When You’re Anxious: How Attachment Styles Affect Your Faith

Do you know God loves you, but still struggle to feel safe, calm, or held when anxiety rises? Does your faith ever feel more like a checklist than a relationship? Have you ever pulled away from God or isolated yourself when you actually needed Him most? In this episode, I’m sharing how attachment can shape the way we experience anxiety, relationships, and even our connection with God so you can understand your patterns with more compassion and begin learning that you are safe with Him. We talk about what attachment is in a simple way, how early relationships can shape the way we feel safe and connected, and why anxiety can sometimes make God feel distant even when He has not moved.  You’ll also learn how anxious attachment can turn faith into performance, how grace frees us from trying to earn God’s love, and why safe, godly community matters when we are carrying heavy burdens. This episode is for the anxious mom who loves God but still struggles to rest in His love, feels pressure to get everything right, or finds herself carrying too much alone.
