Is God near in the ordinary moments of life? If so, how can we rest in God in the middle of life’s storms, big or small?
Summer is an Anglican Preist and invites listeners to explore what a secure attachment with their Heavenly Father looks like. Attachment Style develops in formative years as a child that we carry into adulthood, understanding what these look like and how they may impact your relationship with God opens the door to deeper and more meaningful connection with God in a way that brings healing and wellness into our daily lives.
In this episode, we explore spiritual formation through the lens of attachment theory, we consider how to awaken to God’s loving presence in daily life – even in life’s hurricanes – and form healthy attachements from where we are.
Tune in for simple sensory and contemplative tools (like emmanuel journaling, Ignation Imaginative Prayer and more) to connect with God in meaningful ways.
Sarah asks Summer:
Tell me about the origin story for The Emmanuel Promise, what happened in your life that led you to write about this topic in this way?
Where do you see a presense of our Higher Power - whom we both call God - intersecting with the wellness journeys of readers and listeners?
Talk to the person experiencing a hurricaine in life that is desperate to sense God's presence. How do you hope The Emmanuel Promise can help them?
What is currently in your "bedside book stack" that you're loving or being inspired by these days?
Summer references The Critical Journey, by Janet Hagberg and Robert Guelich.
