Ep. 169 - Why Knowledge Isn’t Enough: Growing In Your Relationship with God


Listen Later

Why do some of us struggle to trust God's love—even when we believe it’s true? In this episode of Encounter Grace, we explore how your attachment style may be shaping your spiritual life more than you realize.

Whether you’ve wrestled with feeling distant from God, anxious in prayer, or numb in worship, it might not be a lack of faith—it might be your attachment filter at work.

We unpack:

The 4 core attachment styles: Anxious, Avoidant, Fearful, Secure

How early relational wounds impact your connection with God

Why spiritual growth starts with emotional safety

How to begin healing through secure attachment to God

Practical tools like Immanuel Journaling to help you feel safe, seen, and soothed by His presence

We bridge attachment theory, relational neuroscience, and Christian formation to help you grow not just in knowledge—but in connection. 

Whether your faith feels solid or shaky, this conversation will help you feel more known, more loved, and more secure in your relationship with God.
