Join us for Attachment Disorder, a 2020 Damascus Road series, as we consider how secure are our divine attachments. Why is faith hard? Why do we experience insecurity in our relationship with God? How can we help heal our disordered attachments and experience the peace of deep faith in our Heavenly Father?
Part 1 of Attachment Disorder

When a child's needs are not met consistently and faithfully over time, the child develops what is called an "Insecure attachment." It's a disordered attachment, one that leads to lack of trust, lack of a sense of safety, lack of faith in others and the world. Many of us find ourselves also experiencing an insecure attachment to God. It's difficult to trust in him. It's difficult to believe he is reliable. It is difficult to have faith. Why do so many of us experience insecure attachments with God? How have our pasts, our relationships with our earthly parents, and our wounds impacted our attachment to God? And are we the only ones who have had trouble with faith?
