Enjoyed reading of your journey. You and Cyd connected some essential things for me in the Attaching to God cohort, and it led to more healing in me and new awareness of the neurotheology landscape. (ie, believers in Jesus out there doing the work of facilitating healthy attachment to God.) I latched on to Immanuel Journaling and now share it with others whenever I can, including six sessions this summer with women in my Anglican Church. I am so grateful for your journey and the many things that led you to grow in launching your current focus and ministry. Can’t wait to read the new book—and hopefully lead a book club to discuss it. Grace and peace, Suzanne

Love this, thank you. And your beard has had its own journey, too.

" a cohesive thread running through my work: making faith comprehensible through diverse lenses such as philosophy, theology, and psychology. And the thread that gathered them all together was attaching to God—the integration of human longings for connection and God’s work of salvation."

I did not realize how recent this recognition happened. I have been attracted to your thinking because I don't understand how we can recognize Jesus without knowing how we are designed in His image. Yes, it can be a supernatural experience, but since he doesn't heal us instantly, we are required to "work out our salvation", knowing how we are designed is critical for recognizing the authentic. I find your and Cyd's work extremely helpful.
