Presence & Practice is for people who want more than ideas—they want to live differently. Here, John & Sungshim Loppnow guide you through spiritual practices (like Immanuel Journaling), relational skills, and body-based awareness that awaken healing, connection, and purpose.

Tune in to deepen your self-knowing, grow in love, and anchor your soul in God’s presence.

In this episode, Geoff and Cyd Holstclaw, experienced pastors and co-hosts of the Attaching to God podcast, discuss their new book, "Landscapes of the Soul." They explore how attachment theory intersects with spirituality, revealing four attachment landscapes that influence our faith journey. The conversation highlights how church leaders’ attachment styles affect community dynamics and introduces practical tools like Immanuel Journaling to enhance emotional connection with God. Geoff and Cyd invite listeners to approach their current circumstances with compassion, emphasizing that change and healing are achievable.

In this episode, we dive into Landscapes of the Soul: How the Science and Spirituality of Attachment Can Move You into Confident Faith, Courage, and Connection. We explore:

• How attachment theory (our relational wiring) shapes faith, relationships, and our inner life.
• What tends to go wrong through anxious, avoidant, or fearful (war-zone) faith.
• How Jesus shows up in the mess—offering repair, safety, and peace.
• Practices for growing a secure attachment with God so faith isn’t driven by fear or performance, but rooted in love, hope, and authentic connection.

If you’ve ever felt spiritually stuck, disconnected, or anxious, this conversation is about moving from a desert or war zone toward pasture—toward rest, intimacy, and belonging.
