Attachment And Our Relationship With God

Study and understanding of attachment styles is a branch of psychology that helps therapists and parents understand how children bond with parents. It can inform our understanding of the freedom and safety children feel as well as the dangers and anxieties. But the implications do not end in childhood. Attachment lessons learned early in life inform the relationships we develop and nurture throughout our lives, including our relationship with God.Jason and Warren welcome back to the podcast friend of The Vine, Dr. Jude Austin, to engage in a discussion about Attachment Theory. What is it? How might we think about it? And what can it tell us about ourselves and our relationship with God? The three of them describe attachment theory and how understanding it can help us better grasp why we may struggle to accept the good things in life, including the love of a savior.For a brief primer about attachment theory, please see this simple explainer.If you are interested in learning more about The Vine Church, please email Warren or subscribe to the weekly email newsletter.
