Table & Well Podcast
HOSTS: Tennison & Ginelle Barry
What if salvation is actually about attachment?
“The only kind of love that helps the brain learn better character is attachment love. The brain functions that determine our character are most profoundly shaped by who we love. Changing character, as far as the brain is concerned, means attaching in new and better ways. Suppose we focused spiritual exercises, and human relationship exercises, less on changing our beliefs, or choices, and more on building attachment love with God and with people. Would that yield the kind of character transformation we yearn to find? The brain’s need for love-that-equals-attachment could explain why spiritual practices sometimes disappoint diligent Christians. A focus on attachment would have profound implications for our understanding of human character, fellowship, and spiritual formation.” — Jim Wilder, Renovated
Does your attachment connection to your caregivers really affect how you attach to God? Is it possible to have an unhealthy attachment to God? Tennison, Ginelle, and friend of the podcast, Ally George, explore and discuss these questions and others. Join them as they dive into this idea of attachment and salvation, and the connection between them.
