Description
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!

Send Me Questions on AttachmentThe church has a long history of addressing mental health issues and specifically doing what was called "soul care." Throughout the years, it was slowly taken over by secular counselors. In the modern era, the church has come to terms with the reality on how mental health issues are affecting the church. But, are we addressing it effectively and in a way that is still true and consistent with biblical principles? On today's podcast, Dr. Knapp and I discuss ...
Send Me Questions on AttachmentThe process of grieving looks different for everyone, and it even happens with how fathers and mothers experience the loss of a child. It does not always look the way we want it to look, nor does it always follow the stages in the exact order in which it is presented. I think we can all agree that there are different types of suffering that bring on different levels of pain, and there is no greater pain a parent can experience than the loss of a child. How...
Send Me Questions on AttachmentIt seems like nowadays, it is popular for Christians to be deconstructing their faith. However, we have to understand that this has happened since the beginning of Christianity. The difference today is that after deconstructing, there are many who do so to excuse their sin and try to create their own version of who Jesus is, and if He does not fit into their mold, then they abandon Him completely. But why is this happening? On today's podcast, Justin Kintze...
Send Me Questions on AttachmentHave you ever read the Psalms and felt like they took the words from the depths of your heart? Many of them are words filled with pain and suffering, and other times they are words full of joy and thanksgiving. As we'll explore today, there are a particular set of Psalms known as laments and they make up a significant amount of them. The question is, what is their purpose? We'll explore this and more in today's podcast. Prof. Matt and I discuss why the Psal...

Send Me Questions on AttachmentGuilt and shame are probably the most common emotions we experience in our fallen nature. It has been a prevalent issue since the fall of Adam and Eve. Shame and guilt can cripple us from accepting forgiveness and moving forward in the plans and calling that the Lord has called us to, and it significantly affects how we relate to God and others in our lives. On today's episode, I discuss why this topic is important and how it is relevant to Chri...
Send Me Questions on AttachmentHaving copious amounts of information about God is not the same as KNOWING God. Knowing God is much more than knowledge, but having the knowledge is a good start. For those of us who grew up in the church, we often take for granted how being brought up in the church has given us a foundation of knowing God at a cognitive level. However, as we get older, we move that understanding to a more intimate understanding of God as our faith is tested through the fire and...
Send Me Questions on AttachmentWe all need forgiveness. Forgiveness is a key factor in receiving the gift of salvation. Jesus forgives our sins when we repent from them and turn towards Him. Jesus forgave the most heinous of sins, including the past, present and future ones. The Bible says that "if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins" (1 John 1:9). But even though this is a hallmark of the Gospel, it is probably one of the most difficult for Christians to accep...
Send Me Questions on AttachmentTragedies in life often move us to question God's goodness. It's natural and understandable to have that response. However, as we'll learn today, God is always working in the background to bring beauty from ashes. He is always in control. He always knows what He will be doing with the pain we experience and will use our suffering to bring glory to his name. On today's episode, Cyrus and I discuss how the tragedy of the genocide in Rwanda, the process ...

When it's all of these together, it causes significant damage to a person's overall well-being. On today's episode, Sha...
Send Me Questions on AttachmentSuffering in life is inevitable. The Scriptures teach us in John 16:33b that "...In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” Jesus prepares our heart for suffering by making us aware that it is coming, but how do we actually respond when it does come? On today's episode, Spencer and I discuss how Christianity in Western culture has had an imperfect or one-sided view of God that has impacted how they view suffering in ...
Send Me Questions on AttachmentOne of the key factors that influences how we view God, outside of how our parents view God and the church, is the type of religious background we grew up in. Mormonism, in particular, has a strong impact on the people who are part of it.

She discusses the struggles and difficult...
Send Me Questions on AttachmentOur parents play a key role in our understanding of who God is and how we can relate to Him. Fathers, in particular, play a key role because we refer to God as our Father so the model and example that they set for us really gives us a foundation for we think God feels and thinks about us. On today's episode, Dr. Josh Waltman and I discuss how becoming fathers has given us a greater understanding of God's love and grace for us. Since both of us grew up in st...
