Dr. Neal Siler joins Adam Ormord and Debbie Swindoll as we continue our series exploring God’s design for transformation. Neal spoke at our 2023 ESDA Gathering on the topic of "Reorienting our Attachments." By paying attention to our own developmental and relational deficiencies, and allowing the Holy Spirit to restore what's been broken, we can move towards a more secure attachment with God, resulting in healing and wholeness.
We can have either secure or insecure attachment styles:
"At the root of all attachment issues is a lack of trust and a lack of safety."
To reorient our attachments, we identify our core longing deficits (Significance, Purpose, Belonging, Security, Understanding, and Love) and choose to believe that the only person who can meet those needs fully is the Lord Jesus Christ. "Out of that relationship, all other relationships flow."
