Podcasts about attaching

If you are living in a perpetual state of fear and discomfort, it's time to get curious and ask yourself why! Dr. Geoff and Cyd Holsclaw discuss the integral link between faith and attachment, sharing their thoughts about why Christians get spiritually “stuck” and how they can overcome that. Geoff and Cyd are authors and the co-hosts of the Attaching to God podcast. They are also the co-directors of the Center for Embodied Faith, which examines the science of today and how that technical knowledge is backed up by the best source: the Bible. “Science today is just catching up to the wisdom that God has already given us so long ago,” say Geoff and Cyd. TAKEAWAYS The brain and the body reflect the truth found in Scripture A foundation of joyful attachment is found in a healthy relationship between a child and a parent We naturally develop survival strategies as we grow up that adapt to the environment we live in If something feels unsettling to you, ask yourself WHY and bring your fears and anxiety to Jesus daily

Do you find it difficult to set new business appointments? Most agents struggle with this as well. Usually it has a lot to do with what you're saying (or not saying) to your prospects. Is your script focused on "Price" or is it focused on "Service" or even something else? Because it matters.  In this episode, host Charles Specht will explain which script variation tends to work better for which types of prospects. Frankly, the answer may surprise you. And, if you can make the necessary adjustments it should result in more set appointments with your prospects!

Key Topics: Price and service are two sides of the same coin - prospect with both, not one or the other Insurance buyers understand price instinctively but not coverage nuances - speak to their level Nearly every pricing problem traces back to a missing or inadequate service from the wrong agent Most agents skip renegotiating with underwriters, leaving prospects paying 5 to 15% more than necessary Attaching price pain to a specific missing service is what earns the prospect's agreement to meet A sample renegotiation strategy script that ties premium savings to a unique underwriter approach Scripting and messaging must target problems the prospect already feels - not gaps only you can see Avoid leading with EPLI or cyber liability - prospects don't feel the pain of those coverage gaps Price plus service prospecting sets more first appointments and ultimately wins more signed broker of record letters Reach out to  Charles Specht Visit: Permission Network Produced by PodSquad.fm

In this episode, Aaron and Alexander explore how every loss — whether a beloved pet, a partner, or a cherished chapter of life — carries within it a hidden transmission, a lesson that only reveals its full meaning when you're ready to receive it. They dive deep into the ancient distinction between love as a boundless, freely-given force and attachment as the ego's attempt to cage what was never meant to be owned, offering a practical framework for grieving with both open-hearted feeling and conscious awareness. If you're ready to stop cycling through heartbreak and begin transmuting loss into wisdom, this conversation offers a grounded, lived-in path — forged through real suffering and real healing — toward a life where love becomes something you are, rather than something you desperately search for.

My first thought was how we could incorporate this hardware into our Information Coded Biofeedback Apps. Attaching the Genius App and using the Terahertz Wand as a delivery system well sounded amazing to me. Sadly, after some back and forth, this was just not feasible. I then reached out to the MLM Company Prife about customizing software to integrate with their Terahertz wands. As expected, no response. Nonetheless, we are excited about this product in terms of the ease of use and the initial results experienced. I realize that there is a lot of confusion in the industry as to which Terawand is legit and which Terawand is fake. Honestly speaking; this really saddens me. There is no such thing as a "fake" Terawand. This is just marketing hype and fake news. Developing hardware components is not rocket science like developing software with algorithms and mathematical equations. There is no real "secret sauce" like you find in software development. What makes our Genius App so great is the "secret sauce" in terms of how we analyze data and how we generate complex wave patterns. This is software and source code. When it comes to hardware, there really is no secret ingredient. So in my humble opinion people making claims about "fake products" and such are really just trying to protect their source of income. I completely respect that. In summary, we think Prife has done a great job at bringing awareness to a new modality. Give yourself a blow. Try the Terawand. If it works for you then great!

In this final Lent episode on Jesus' temptations, Geoff and Cyd Holsclaw explore the third temptation as an attack on Jesus' agency—shifting from anxiety-driven hyperactivation to independence-driven deactivation of attachment. They discuss how modern pressures like hustle culture, comparison, and radical self-reliance can pull people toward building “lesser kingdoms” instead of using their agency to love God and others. Jesus refuses Satan's offer of power and chooses worship and service to God alone, modeling a “self with others” rooted in love as action.Dive deeper in our new book, Landscapes of the Soul: How the Science and Spirituality of Attachment Can Move You into Confident Faith, Courage, and Connection, and learn about our trainings and other resources at embodiedfaith.life.Stay Connected: Check out our Attaching to God 6-Week Learning Cohort.

The Attaching to God podcast continues a three-week Lenten series on the Temptations of Jesus.This episode reframes Jesus' second temptation as an attack on his secure attachment to the Father—an attack on FAITH, provoking anxiety and testing whether God is really available. Geoff and Cyd talk about all the different reasons we develop “trust issues” and how they come out in our lives. They define faith as embodied reliance and lived loyalty, they share practical examples, and offer a practical Lenten practice. Dive deeper in our new book, Landscapes of the Soul: How the Science and Spirituality of Attachment Can Move You into Confident Faith, Courage, and Connection, and learn about our trainings and other resources at embodiedfaith.life.Stay Connected: Check out our Attaching to God 6-Week Learning Cohort.

In this episode we dive into Progress ReportsThe ChallengeYou know the moment. That message lands. Your project manager needs a status update on the project and they need it right now. Not in two weeks when it's supposed to happen. Right now.You have an 11,000 activity schedule. A critical path that keeps shifting. A structural steel delay throwing everything off. And zero minutes to spare.Usually this means three hours buried in P6. Copying data to Excel. Building out reports. Attaching baselines, unattaching baselines, running analysis. All just to deliver a simple email.On this episode of Beyond Deadlines, I sat down with Greg Lawton, CEO of Nodes and Links, to test whether a purpose built AI tool could draft that same status email in 60 seconds.

The Attaching to God podcast returns after a break to begin a three-week Lenten series on the Temptations of Jesus. Hosts Cyd and Geoff Holsclaw (co-founders of the Center for Embodied Faith) reframe Jesus' first temptation as an attack on his secure attachment to the Father—an attack on hope. The hosts connect this to modern anxieties that push people into “protection mode,” explain Jesus' scripture-based response (“not by bread alone”), define hope as expectant waiting rooted in attachment, and offer a Lenten practice. The next episode will focus on the second temptation as an attack on faith.Dive deeper in our new book, Landscapes of the Soul: How the Science and Spirituality of Attachment Can Move You into Confident Faith, Courage, and Connection, and learn about our trainings and other resources at embodiedfaith.life.Stay Connected: Check out our Attaching to God 6-Week Learning Cohort.

AI is pushing knowledge work toward a world where “leaders manage agents”—and eventually, where some management functions themselves are handled by AI. Shweta Kamble and Hari Iyer (founders of HaloVision) unpack that future and demo what it looks like today: an AI “third-party” that runs confidential 1:1-style conversations with employees, synthesizes themes into quantified “case files,” and creates a bidirectional channel between executives and the org.00:00 - Intro01:02 — “Undercover Boss” analogy: AI can surface ground-truth operational fixes at scale.02:01 — “No ICs anymore”: the shift to managing armies of agents.03:06 — AI can outperform average managers at listening, context, and coaching—at scale.04:47 — Introducing Halo Vision: management + AI as a core intersection.05:19 — What Halo does: confidential 1:1 conversations, analyzed into exec-ready insights.06:00 — Key difference: not a suggestion box—Halo quantifies impact and outcomes.06:36 — 1:1 controversy (e.g., “don't do 1:1s”) and why time cost matters.08:11 — Third-party confidentiality: why employees share more with Halo than internal tools.09:30 — SurveyMonkey comparison: blending “survey + 1:1 + executive alignment.”10:50 — Feedback loop requirement: employees must believe feedback leads to change.12:06 — Founders' backgrounds (Zoom AI/data products; CS/product design; Cisco ventures).16:28 — Building Halo = “several companies in one”: auditing, privacy, PM estimation, infra.18:03 — “Telephone game” across agents: why infra/evals matter for compound accuracy.19:47 — Defining evals: correctness, reasoning tests, summarization/synthesis checks.23:32 — Concrete eval example: summaries must trace back to transcript evidence.27:03 — Added complexity: longitudinal context and time relevance (“6 months ago may not matter”).30:39 — Prompt → context engineering: getting the right info to the model at the right time.32:16 — Why off-the-shelf tools weren't enough: auditability and tracing across abstraction layers.37:18 — Live demo setup: Halo's internal “case file” view with quantified issues.38:01 — Example case files: exec jumping into low-level decisions; burn rate + delay cost estimates.41:16 — Live call begins: confidentiality disclaimer + agenda choices.41:50 — Halo's questioning style: reflective, probing, tailored follow-ups.46:17 — Positioning: Halo doesn't replace 1:1s—it makes them more effective and focused.47:00 — What they're excited about next year: science/research advances + shifting human work.Tools & technologies mentionedHalo Vision — AI “third-party” that conducts confidential employee conversations, synthesizes insights into quantified exec recommendations, and helps align understanding across the org.Evaluation frameworks (Evals) — Methods to test AI outputs (reasoning, summary accuracy, grounding) to prevent misleading conclusions and compounding errors in agent workflows.LLM-as-a-judge — Using an LLM to grade another model's output for correctness, grounding, or quality; often paired with other checks.Tracing / auditability / evidence links — Attaching each summary claim to specific transcript excerpts so you can prove where conclusions came from and debug errors.Speech-to-text / transcription — Converting conversations into text artifacts that can be analyzed, summarized, and traced.Fellow.ai — AI meeting assistant that joins meetings, summarizes, tracks actions/decisions, integrates with common work tools, and supports sensitive meetings with privacy/security controls.

Routines aren't about perfection. They're about keeping the peace and developing a sense of stability. In this episode, Dr. J explains why traditional routines can feel impossible for ADHD brains — and what actually works. Think tiny, doable habits. Attaching new routines to things you already do. And yes, leaving room for rest, fun, and even the occasional “I forgot my socks” day.For more on this topic: Listen: ADHD and time perceptionRead: One woman's daily routine with ADHDRead: How to build habits with ADHDWatch: Jessica McCabe on sticking to habits and routinesFor a transcript and more resources, visit MissUnderstood on Understood.org.

In this episode, Cheryl McColgan discusses the concept of habit stacking, a technique that involves attaching a new habit to an existing one to make it easier to adopt. She shares her personal struggles with maintaining new habits and provides practical examples of how to effectively implement habit stacking in daily routines. The conversation emphasizes the importance of cues and motivation in forming lasting habits, as well as the value of research in validating health information. Takeaways Habit stacking is a technique to make new habits easier to adopt. Attaching a small habit to a daily routine can enhance consistency. The perceived importance of a habit affects motivation to maintain it. Using strong cues can help in forming new habits. Daily routines can serve as effective cues for new habits. Habit stacking can reduce decision fatigue.

Today is something that we’ve talked about a little bit throughout the challenge, but I haven’t really dedicated an episode to it yet and I haven’t challenged you to actually do it as part of the habit challenge and that is to habit stack. So habit stacking is really simple. It can sometimes be hard to find ones that put together that make sense. But when you can find those ones that go together that make sense, it just really makes this such an easier thing. So today’s challenge is to attach a small habit to something you already do every single day. So I think I just even mentioned this in the last recording for day 21 in the reflection thing is about if you missed habits, know, habit stacking is a great way to do those. Because if you’re finding them challenging to fit in your day, sticking them to something you already do is going to be one of the easiest way that you can make that stick. And then so I’ll give you an example of the one since I started making this challenge, I’ve been thinking about this a lot for myself. And here’s the one that I’m working on right now. So I have had this hair trauma for the last three years. It’s a really long story that you don’t need to hear about in this episode, which I have actually done a podcast episode on it before. But at any rate, it’s, you know, I’ve had a lot of trauma to my hair. I’ve had a lot of hair falling out. I’ve had some scalp irritation, things like that. And so I’ve been very focused on that. And one of the things I purchased to help me deal with this is this OS one supplement. I’ve been using their skincare for a while now. Absolutely love it. I have an article over at the website all about it. He says a peptide science. It’s really cool technology and it actually works and there’s some good clinical data behind it all. But anyway, oh, and just because I mentioned that If you read about it, you do get a little extra discount with my link or something. But anyway, the point of none of that is the point here. The point is that I find it difficult. I bought this hair serum and I bought like I can’t remember if I bought a three month supply or six month supply because you definitely get a bigger discount if you buy more. And plus, if you’re doing anything with your hair, it’s going to take you a little bit longer to actually notice results. Right. So anyway, I’m getting to the point I promise is that I bought that serum, probably a good Cheryl McColgan (02:20.305)six months ago now or maybe even longer. And I’ve only used it maybe a total of five times and I’ll start to think, okay, I’m going to use it today and then I’ll get on the new habit of doing this every day because you got to do it every day for it to really be effective. So I haven’t been able to do that up to this point. I don’t know why it’s such a simple thing. It’s not difficult. You literally split your hair, you put the serum on the scalp, you rub it in, you go to bed. Easy peasy, right? Can’t seem to make myself do it, but The one thing I do every single night is wash my face, brush my teeth and put on my skincare. put on the same skincare by the same brand that I put on my face every single night without fail. Doesn’t matter how late I’m out. Doesn’t matter what else I’ve done. I will not go to bed without washing my face, putting my skincare on and brushing my teeth. That is a solid set in habit that does not fail. for the last few days or since this challenge when I was talking about habit stacking several times, I’m like, this is just ridiculous. have this perfect habit that this pairs with, which is like I mentioned, my teeth and skincare routine in the evening, I just need to put that hair serum like literally where I cannot miss it. And so I had it on the counter next to my toothbrush. I don’t know why, but that wasn’t quite working because the flow. But what I found was I put the hair serum inside of a drawer that has the skincare. I took the hair serum out of the cabinet off the counter. put it in the drawer like literally right next to the moisture. And this is so dumb right, you’re like, why can’t you just put that in your hair every night? I don’t know why. This is why anybody has trouble with habits, right? This is why we’re doing this whole challenge. But put it right next to my skincare so that it’s literally right where I take them both out. I do the skincare part, I put that back and then I take the hair stuff and then I put it and rub it and put it right back next to the moisturizer. So that seems to be working. So that is a habit stack. So that was a very long winded way of telling you. But I also think it speaks to the fact that, you know, obviously none of us are perfect. Even those of us that are very good at discipline, very good habits. And also there’s something about the perceived importance of the habit, I think. So this particular thing, like if I put this stuff in my hair or not, it really doesn’t matter. It doesn’t affect anything. I’m not even sure 100 % that it will help or that it will work. So it’s not a high Cheryl McColgan (04:40.651)value habit, right? There’s not a whole lot of motivation example for me to continue that habit. Whereas something like changing your nutrition or changing your diet, if you’re say your goal is to lose weight, there’s a lot higher of motivation or importance. I won’t want to say motivation because motivation like we talked about that comes and goes. But the importance of that to your health or to your future goals, looking a certain way or having a certain body composition, the importance of that is a lot greater. than something like putting this stuff in your hair that may or may not work. You know if you change your nutrition behavior, change your eating behavior, that that will have a positive outcome. So I think you also have to look at the importance of any particular habit in relation to how hard that’s gonna be to maintain or how hard it’s gonna be to force yourself to do. So the whole reason this works is pretty obvious. The habit stacking, the first habit, the existing habit is the cue and there’s no motivation there. The second habit just comes right after it, because that’s where you’re sticking it now. And so again, this creates less decision fatigue. It just makes it easier for you to just go ahead and do it. So here’s an example. made this little formula that I wrote out so that we are all on the same page with this. It’s so ridiculously simple. But just for clarity, it’s after I blank, I will blank. So for example, after coffee, I will drink water. But I would put that in reverse, because as we talked about, It’s stacked like that can still be stacked even though we’re supposed to drink the water before the coffee because well the coffee is still the cube. We’ll go to the thing to get coffee and we’ll be like oh yes I’m Annie and I’m going to drink this water first. And the other thing is after brushing teeth I will stretch two minutes. So you’re picking a cue that happens every single day because we want this new habit we want it to be a habit that’s like an everyday habit we just stick it with there. So that is really it for today. If you keep forgetting then you might need a stronger cue. the more automatic the queue is, the easier it’s going to be to get this new habit to stick. So look for those things, like I said, like brushing my teeth or things that you’ve never missed. Those are the ones you want to stick it to. And as always, the links for the research, the links for the research, this week aren’t exactly tied to or for today aren’t exactly tied to habit stacking, but they’re just kind of the. Cheryl McColgan (07:01.517)way that goal setting interacts with habits and things. So I think those are pretty interesting, but those are in your email and in the tracker. As always, the optional journal prompt is there if you want to do that. And the research is always optional to read, but hopefully it’s, know, mostly if you just skim the abstract or skip down to the results, that would be a super quick read for you less than a minute. So also that could be a come a new habit, just like looking at, you know, looking at the research or especially, I don’t know, this one’s turning into a longer little episode here. But just this is a totally random unrelated thing, but to encourage you whenever you hear certain things online, before I repeat them, or before I invest a whole lot of time in belief or disbelief or whatever, I’ll go search the topic in the PubMed and just see if there’s any existing literature or research on the topic and see if it’s even in the direction of what the person is claiming online. Because there’s a lot of bad information out there nowadays. I’m sure you already know this. but it’s always nice to just consider the source, number one, and then go check, do a little research on your own and see. And the reason I like to go to PubMed first is because too many articles on the internet are all full of opinion, right? So just looking at the existing literature is a pretty good hint and a good signal to whether something is valid or not. So anyway, sorry to be a little tangential on this one, but hope you… Enjoy today’s habit. I hope you can find a habit that you can stack with one of your existing ones. And I’d love to hear all about it as always in the comments below. Or if it’s something you don’t want to share publicly, you’re always welcome to email me as well. And if you’re not signed up for this challenge yet, if you just randomly found this on YouTube and you’re like, what is this all about? You can go to healnourishgrow.com slash habits and you can start this 30 days of healthy habits anytime for free. just check that link out and you’ll get started that very same day or the next day, you’ll get the emails and then you’re onto your 30 days of creating new healthy habits. So that is it for today and I will see you again tomorrow.

Rick and Svea discuss 1 Corinthians 1, focusing on how the human desire for acceptance creates division in the church through “fences” (in-groups and out-groups) and “ladders” (status and hierarchy). They show how the Corinthian church split around admired leaders like Paul, Apollos, and Peter, driven more by Roman culture's obsession with prestige than by real theological differences. The episode draws connections to modern Christian identity, emphasizes unity and equality in Christ, and encourages humility, community, and finding true acceptance in God's love.Topics discussed in this episode:00:00 Intro01:11 Diving in to 1 Corinthians chapter 1.02:01 Fences (acceptance) and ladders (approval).04:52 There are no fences in Christ. The only fence is our sin. The only gate is Jesus.08:40 1 Corinthians 1:12 - I follow Paul, I follow Apollos... Attaching to human figures, not Jesus. Stupid games lead to stupid prizes. Their prize of petty competitiveness and fractured relationships.11:57 We do this too. We can't define ourselves by what people or groups we agree with or disagree with.13:36 Thinking of spiritual formation, how do we avoid falling into the trap of attaching ourselves to and aligning with a singular spiritual leader with whom you agree and saying, "I'm a so-and-so Christian?" Be in community with other believers.19:21 We tend to apply our need for acceptance and approval in dysfunctional ways. What's the God-given underlying foundation for wanting acceptance and approval?23:30 Advice for those who are ready to live without fences and ladders, but you see fences and ladders all around you.

In today's culture I feel we have conflated beliefs with facts. I view us as a culture at war with our perspectives. We are seldom arguing about literal facts. Look at the news headlines, social media, and any reporting entity and you find great polarization and emotion around issues. And what is generally being debated is again, not fact, but belief. Belief we grow to thinking is actually fact, even when it can't be. Why? My guest cites how we so often attach our beliefs to our identity. Then if the belief is questioned, your very identity is being questioned. Think about this. Have you ever heard someone say, “I tend to vote for Democrats, I align with a Catholic faith, I eat vegan, and I run a lot for exercise.” No. Listen to how we say it; “I'm a democrat, I'm a Catholic, I'm a vegan, and I'm a runner.” I am. It's not my belief, it's who I am. So let's talk about what this is doing to us. My guest is cognitive scientist Andy Norman. Or let me rephrase that. My guest is Andy Norman who works as lot in cognitive science. Andy is an award-winning author of Mental Immunity: Infectious Ideas, Mind-Parasites, and the Search for a Better Way to Think. His research is on the emerging science of mental immunity as the antidote to disinformation, propaganda, hate, and division. Andy strives to help people develop immunity to bad ideas. As you'll hear, my focus is really on the harm we do to ourselves and others when we are so rigid in our beliefs we won't consider anyone who differs. As I already mentioned, Andy showcases how many, if not most of our beliefs, are more tied to our self-image than truth, and how this hurts us and everyone else. It's ok to have strong beliefs, but if you feel strong in them and it's not just to support your personal bias, then wouldn't you be strong enough to allow someone to explain their differing beliefs and actually seek to understand them? My interest is around connection and peace instead of the conflict we continually see in our culture. Andy directs the Humanism Initiative at Carnegie Mellon University and you can find him at andynorman.org.

In this BONUS episode (before season 8 starts), host Geoff Holsclaw starts experimenting with regular guest hosts to dive deeper into certain topics.This episode sees the return of David Clayton, a spiritual director, supervisor of spiritual directors, and a trained behavior analyst and facilitator of psychological safety. David will bring us the "voices from the Kellia"—the monastic "cells" in the heart of the desert. As a twist of sorts, we believe the insights of Christian asceticism and monasticism still speak wisdom into our modern life (even our corporate and business lives). This time we focus on the role of spiritual direction, connecting it to friendship, vulnerability, and psychological safety. This episode sets the stage for ongoing discussions with David and promises practical advice for spiritual and personal development.David Clayton is a Spiritual Director and Supervisor of Directors. He is a trained Behaviour Analyst, and is a Facilitator of Psychological Safety.

Today on Karl and Crew, we discussed the importance of separating ourselves from bad influences. As followers of Christ, it’s crucial to surround ourselves with a community of fellow Christ-followers, as being surrounded by a worldly community can significantly influence our walk with Christ. We see this affirmed in 1 Kings 12, where we see how a young king, Rehboam, took the advice of bad influencers, and it led to destruction. We then turned to the phone lines to hear stories about good and bad influences from our listeners. Then we had Dr. Geoff and Cyd Holsclaws join us to talk about the intersection of faith, neuroscience, and spiritual formation. The Holsclaws are hosts of the podcast Attaching to God and wrote the book, “Landscapes of the Soul: How the Science and Spirituality of Attachment Can Move You into Confident Faith, Courage, and Connection.” Dr. Geoff has also authored several other books and is a visiting professor of theology at Western Theological Seminary. At the same time, Dr. Cyd is a Spiritual Director and a trauma-informed, Jesus-centered, professional certified coach with the International Coaching Federation. She is also a Certified NLP Master Practitioner and Master Coach. We also had Asheritah Ciuciu join us to talk about being sensitive to the presence of God in our lives and embracing it. Asheritah is a national speaker, bestselling author, and founder of One Thing Alone Ministries, an online ministry that helps overwhelmed women find joy in Jesus. She also has a YouTube Channel where she posts guided prayers, bible tips, and other resourceful videos. She has also authored several books, including “Delighting in Jesus-Rhythms to Restore Joy When You Feel Burdened, Broken, or Burned-Out.” You can hear the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.

Monica talks about the unique and very helpful terminology used in the book to describe the different attachment strategies, such as the JUNGLE, the DESERT, the WAR ZONE, and the PASTURE, and how helpful it is to focus on intimacy and independence over anxiety and avoidance. They also touch on the centrality of joyful connection in relationships and the transformative potential of secure attachments with God.Find out about the "Life Model Informed Therapy" certification here. Dive deeper in our new book, Landscapes of the Soul: How the Science and Spirituality of Attachment Can Move You into Confident Faith, Courage, and Connection, and learn about our trainings and other resources at embodiedfaith.life.Stay Connected: Check out our Attaching to God 6-Week Learning Cohort.

Here is an audio snippet of our new book. Description below. Please buy and review.______Does it feel like you experience life in a totally different way than others? Like you are living somewhere else, and you can't build connection or intimacy with God like others can?There's a good chance that you, like so many of us, have tried it all: read your Bible more, gone to church more, prayed more, and delved deeper into self-awareness. But you still struggle with discontent, anxiety, avoidance and doubt. You still feel stuck.No matter where you find yourself emotionally, relationally, or spiritually, Jesus meets you there and helps you move toward a place of peace and rest. As pastors, coaches, and educators, Cyd and Geoff Holsclaw are very familiar with this struggle, and they are prepared to help. In Landscapes of the Soul, they draw on the science and spirituality of attachment theory, biblical wisdom, and the language of spiritual formation to show us why Christians tend to get stuck spiritually―and how to get unstuck and move forward.Whether you feel like you're living in a spiritual jungle, desert, or war zone, you will discover:how you are designed to grow good roots through healthy relational attachmenthow things go wrong through your often-distorted survival strategieshow God repairs your faith, hope, and love for Him, others, and ourselveshow Jesus quiets your anxious and avoidant faithhow to incorporate practices for building your security with GodYou aren't meant to live in the anxiety of a jungle, the desolation of a desert, or the chaos of a war zone. God designed you to live in joy and peace in relationship with Him, as if you are in a pasture, under the protective care of the Good Shepherd.Dive deeper in our new book, Landscapes of the Soul: How the Science and Spirituality of Attachment Can Move You into Confident Faith, Courage, and Connection, and learn about our trainings and other resources at embodiedfaith.life.Stay Connected: Check out our Attaching to God 6-Week Learning Cohort.

Over and over, year by year, she did this little guided meditation with them. She was doing attachment work with the Good Shepherd even before we had language for it. Many listeners and cohort members have asked for a recording of this prayer exercise, so here it is. For all the background (attachment theory and spirituality), see our new book, Landscapes of the Soul: How the Science and Spirituality of Attachment Can Move You into Confident Faith, Courage, and Connection (and please review it on Amazon).Dive deeper in our new book, Landscapes of the Soul: How the Science and Spirituality of Attachment Can Move You into Confident Faith, Courage, and Connection, and learn about our trainings and other resources at embodiedfaith.life.Stay Connected: Check out our Attaching to God 6-Week Learning Cohort.

Brians Questions: Thanks for sharing your knowledge and opinions - and answering my previous questions. It's been a great help. My shop is in my single car garage, which I share with household storage. It has a very high ceiling.  I recently got a good deal on a new Jet AFS-1000B Air Filtration System. (note: I do not have a dust collection system, as I try to do mostly hand tool work, but I do use power tools as needed. So there is plenty of dust). The question is: where to locate the device? The options are:  1. I have a shelf that is suspended from the ceiling and could test to see if it will support the Jet unit.  2. There is a metal storage cabinet that I can set it on, and attach to the wall (per Jet instructions). 3. Place it on the lower shelf of my Moravian style workbench.  Attaching it directly to the ceiling is out, as it is too high, and I don't have ladders or scaffolding to get up there. The easiest is option 3 - on the lower shelf of the workbench. Will it be effective down there - about a foot off the ground?  Or should I go for options 1 or 2? Thanks for any insight.  David V. - Baltimore, MD Gentlemen, Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedules to share your knowledge through the podcast. I've recently caught up on all the previous episodes and really look forward to the bi-weekly insights you provide. It's been a tremendous help as I navigate the early stages of woodworking and material sourcing. I have a question regarding quality expectations when purchasing from regional hardwood suppliers. I've recently started buying from a distributor in the Texas/Oklahoma area that operates multiple warehouses. While I'm still relatively new to this type of procurement, I've noticed a gap between what I expected from a “select & better” grade product and what I actually received. My recent order was for cherry lumber—select & better, RW&L, averaging 6 inches wide, 9 feet long, and 15/16" thickness, graded 90/70+. The issue I encountered was significant end-checking and splitting—some boards had cracks extending 10 to 18 inches. Since the lumber (along with some maple and walnut) was bundled and strapped to a pallet, it wasn't until I got home—over an hour away—that I realized the extent of the damage. I understand that some waste is always part of the equation, but I'm trying to get a sense of what's considered “normal” for a premium grade. Should I have contacted the supplier once I noticed the issue? Or is it standard practice to inspect the order before it leaves the yard? I'd appreciate any guidance or rules of thumb you might recommend for handling situations like this. Thanks again for your time and for all the valuable information you share. It's been a huge help. Best regards, Mark Guys Questions: I'm preparing to build a set of kitchen cupboards from white oak.  The style will be Mission, with some Frank Lloyd Wright Prairies Style touches.  I have several questions.  I'm going to build some assembly tables.  I don't want hundreds of dog/hold-down holes in each, but I will probably drill a few.  I'm wondering about 3/4” (the traditional North American standard) vs. 20 mm (a standard popularized by Festool, etc.).  I know this isn't a black and white choice, but could you share some thoughts on what one might consider before committing to one size vs. another. Darrin    I frequently seem to struggle with keeping the countersink concentric concentric with the screw clearance hole. I have both the multi-flue countersink and the countersink with one diagonal hole but they both want to wander.    I also have a tapered drill bit with set-screwed countersink.   Maybe I should be trying harder to use that type. So my question is - do you have any suggestions for keeping the countersink centered on the clearance hole, and what is your preferred type of countersink. Steve Huys Questions: Hello guys, my name is Jim Rose.  I live in north central Kansas and have a couple of completely different topics for questions. Before the questions, I wanted to say, thanks so much for an awesome podcast.  I have been a listener since Brian came on board.  In fact, the 1st episode I listened to was his 1st episode!!! First off, I have a question about beetle kill pine.  I am currently building a new house and have purchased beetle kill pine to put on the walls and ceiling of a sunroom.  My question is what finish should I use if any so that the blues and reds of the beetle kill pine will show the best and not change colors in anyway.  I have seen different opinions on the internet ranging from a clear poly to nothing at all.  Some have even said that a finish will change to colors which I definitely dont want. Not sure if this is true so thought I would the experts.   Thanks in advance.  Any suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again, Jim Hey Fellas' as many say "love the podcast", I've learned a ton and look forward to more as I work my way through previous shows and keep up with new ones. The ask ... you've shared a fair amount regarding adhesive/glues including talking shelf life. How can we tell when an adhesive/glue has exceeded its shelf life and should be discarded and replaced? I mean knowing this is prior to using it and the project failing and pieces not sticking as needed. Thanks, Chris Hudson
