Feeling stuck connecting with God?

Why do

  • some of us avoid talking to God?

  • others of us pray streams of consciousness?


Why do

  • some of us need to feel connected to God?

  • others of us just think about God? 

​

Why do spiritual disciplines and community

  • sometimes really help us connect?

  • other times seem to be dry and lifeless?


It's because our Insecure Attachment pushes us to live in the JUNGLE or DESERT.

With God and others...

Do you feel ALONE or ABANDONED, like God is silent and people don't understand you?​


Why do you feel like NOTHING WILL CHANGE, that practically speaking, you don't really have any hope?​

​

Why do you feel that life is OUT OF CONTROL, that you don't have any power to move forward?

 

It's because sin has distorted your Attachment DEFAULTS.

Jungle Attachment Survival Kit

  • Non-Verbal Focus on Bodies and Emotions
  • Relational Radar ("This is NEW")
  • When in conflict, "I am the problem."
  • When in distress, "I need my people."

Result: You connect with God through your heart, and sometimes God feels near, often feels far.

Desert Attachment Survival Kit

  • Verbal Focus on Language and Logic
  • Rulebook of patterns ("I know this already.)
  • When in conflict, “They are the problem”.
  • When distressed, “I do it myself” ... alone.

Result: You sometimes connect with God throughyour head...sometimes not.

The Good Shepherd Invites us into the Pasture...

  • Where we integrate verbal and non-verbal aspects of connecting with God & others.
  • Where we can integrate the emotive and cognitive information around us.
  • Where we can be available for others and exercise our own agency.
  • Where we can know and feel loved, and offer that love to others. 

The Attaching to God Learning Cohort will help you live in the pasture of secure attachment.
