The Bible tells you what to believe. And the self-help world online tells you something different entirely. If you have been trying to hold all three together and failing, this video was made for you. Adam Lane Smith, The Attachment Specialist, breaks down the three biggest conflicts Christians face when trying to reconcile their faith with modern psychology, and shows exactly why these two things were never actually in conflict to begin with. What you will learn in this video: 1- Why your relationship with your parents directly shapes your image of God and what to do if that image is broken 2- How an avoidant, anxious, or disorganized caregiver can produce a distorted concept of God that makes real faith nearly impossible 3- What neuroscience has discovered about the overlap between secure human bonding and deep immersive prayer 4- Why co regulation with other humans is not a failure of faith but is actually demanded by Scripture 5- How sin damages people biochemically and why secure attachment is the most powerful protection against it 6- Why guilt is not biblical and what real contrition actually looks like according to both Scripture and attachment science 7- The four stage repair process that the Bible and attachment science independently arrived at through completely different methods 8- What the New Testament language of transformation actually describes when you look at it through the lens of neuroscience 9- Why free will is not a theological accident but a direct consequence of the love God has for us If you have ever felt like God was distant, that real faith was something other people had but not you, or that the image of God you were handed in childhood never quite made sense, this video will show you why and what is actually available to you on the other side of it. 📚 WORK WITH ME 💬 1:1 COACHING Work directly with my team: https://bundle.adamlanesmith.com/priv... 📋 FREE ATTACHMENT QUIZ Find out your attachment style in under 5 minutes: https://bundle.adamlanesmith.com/atta... 📬 NEWSLETTER Get weekly insights on attachment patterns: https://adamlanesmith.com/newsletter-...
