HYPER INDEPENDENCE : the downfall of doing it 'all on your own,' healing with others, attachment styles, receiving the love of God & the permission to be messy w/ Jenna Spurlin

Linden McKay Season 2 Episode 10

"neediness is your honor, not your shame." - Melissa Helser

Is your relationship with God stagnant, dull, and feel like it hinges on your performance? Do you hear about the love of God but not feel as though you experience it? My friend Jenna and I dive into her story this week growing up with a mother who was handicap due to opioid addiction. We expand on attachment styles, how we relate to God because of the ways we related to our parents, how to experience the love of God in a deeper way, and un-learning that being hyper independent is a good thing.
