God Attachment Healing
Hi everyone! Welcome to the God Attachment Healing Podcast. I'm your host, Sam Landa. This podcast is dedicated to Christians who want to understand why they relate to God in the way they do. I explore how our early childhood relationship with our parents--specifically with how they met or did not meet our needs--influences how we relate to ourselves, the church, and to God. Because much of the pains and struggles of life are intertwined in these three areas, I discuss with my guests how we can find healing from the pain, confusion, doubt, and anger experienced in these relationships. If you're interested in learning more about your attachment style and how to heal from the pain you’ve experienced in the relationships mentioned above, then this podcast is for you. Welcome to the show! I'm happy you're here!

Exploring How Our Childhood Experiences with Our Parents Shape Our View of God w/ Dr. Carmela O'Hare
Send Me Questions on Attachment
It's really amazing to see how much of our childhood experiences with our parents shape how we view God when we become adults.
If our parents were uninvolved, harsh, or absent, then we will tend to see God the same way. If our parents were involved, loving, and present, then we can make an easy transition to seeing God be the same way.
The key to understanding God, however, is not through our experiences with how our parents raised us, but rather through filtering those experiences through the truths found in God's Word. It is in and through his Word that He chooses to reveal Himself to us.
On today's episode, Dr. O'Hare and I discuss:
- how parents influence our view of God,
- how parenting styles play a role in how we view God,
- how we develop healthy and unhealthy attachments to God and others, and
- some ways to develop a secure attachment style.
If you want to understand the truth about how God relates to us as his children, and how parents involvement in our lives influences that, this is a show you'll want to tune in to.
