Attachment and the Abundant Life // Michael Cusick

What if the greatest spiritual practice is simply letting Jesus love us? 

In this powerful conversation with our friend Michael Cusick, we explore the deep connection between spiritual formation, attachment, and the embodied experience of God's love. We talk about how trauma, distraction, and striving can keep us from truly being present—to ourselves, to others, and to God. Together, we unpack how detachment, stillness, and grace-filled rhythms open us up to experiencing the peace and freedom Jesus offers. This isn't about trying harder—it’s about trusting more deeply. Join us as we learn what it means to be loved into loving.
