Send Me Questions on Attachment

When faith and harm collide, the quiet question under the surface is often the hardest: why would God allow this? We sit down with therapist Carley Marcouillier to name moral injury, trace the subtle red flags of spiritual abuse, and map a steady, humane path back to safety and a secure attachment to God. This is not a takedown; it’s a toolkit for survivors, friends, and leaders who want to cultivate ...

Ever been told to “just get over it” when church wounds still ache in your body? We sit down with therapist Carley Marcouillier to unpack spiritual abuse and religious trauma with clarity and compassion—naming how coercion, control, and scripture misuse can fracture trust in God and community.

A bigger crowd doesn’t mean a brighter lampstand. We dive into the seven churches in Revelation to uncover what faithfulness looks like right now: encouragement for the steady, warnings for the compromised, and hope for those who feel lukewarm or misled. With Dr. Paul Cooke, we explore how ancient letters expose today’s soft doctrines, from antinomianism to the prosperity gospel, and why charisma with...

He walks us through the moments that felt noble, the verses that sounded convincing, and the tiny checks in his spirit that he kep...

What if your relationship with God could actually change how your nervous system handles stress, grief, and trauma?

Drawing on research, lived experience, and Scripture, we chart a path that ho...

Ever feel like you’re doing everything “right” and still can’t shake the sense that God is far away? We dig into three core questions many Christians carry in secret: why we can feel anxious or avoidant with a God we call our secure base, how early attachment wounds color our view of His heart, and what’s going on when faithful practices don’t translate into felt closeness.

We unpack the cruc...

Fear knows how to sound reasonable. It hides inside “what if” spirals, budget math that never adds up, and prayers that feel stuck on repeat. We sat down with prophetic healing coach Heather O’Brien to ask a bold question: what if fear isn’t the root at all, but a symptom pointing to what we believe about God’s character and our worth?

We trace the crucial difference between facts and Truth, ...

With clear definitions of GAD, social anxiety, separation anxiety, and panic attacks, we lay out where these experience...

What if healing doesn’t happen in isolation, but in the friction and tenderness of a committed relationship? We take a clear-eyed look at why romantic commitment can catalyze growth in ways friendship and mentorship rarely reach, and how that truth fits with a robust, Christ-centered life.

What if the fastest path to transformation is slowing down for connection? We sit with attachment-focused therapist Carley Marcouillier to explore how Christian growth and lasting psychological change flow from safety, presence, and honest relationship—first with God, then with ourselves, and finally with others.
