God Attachment: Why You Believe, Act, and Feel the Way You Do About God

God Attachment: Why You Believe, Act, and Feel the Way You Do About God

Is God dead? Is he nothing more than a figment of our imagination and crutch for the psychologically weak to lean on for security in life? Or is God real? Can we know him? Trust him for everyday life? Believe him? Billions of people say they believe in God, but does he make a difference in our everyday life? In God Attachment, Drs. Tim Clinton and Joshua Straub help explain why you believe, act, and feel the way you do about God.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Helping people change is no small task. But attachment theory and the secure-base system can help guide you in therapy, no matter what model or techniques you like to use.

Attachment-based therapy is based on six broad principles that spell out the acronym SECURE:

Sibling Rivalry! Causes and Cures

Sibling Rivalry! Causes and Cures

Adds family counselor Joshua Straub, Ph.D., of Lynchburg, Virginia: “Parents may not even realize they’re doing it. But a lot of times their personality clicks better with one child than the other. So they give the favored child a lot of special treatment or are easier on that child in terms of punishment. There may already be some bad feelings between the siblings, but this favoritism just adds fuel to the fire.”

Teen and College Binge Drinking

Teen and College Binge Drinking

Having attended a state university for my undergraduate work, I (Josh) had the privilege of befriending an atheist who lived with me the last three years of college. With front row seats, watching his drunken oblivion throughout our college years worried me greatly. He nearly died on a number of occasions and had numerous run-ins with “Johnny Law.”

Relationships: Why you love, feel and act the way you do

Life is all about relationships—particularly with God and with those we love. You don’t have to go very far in the Bible to be reminded that God desires to be in a relationship with each and every one of us. Even more, the Bible says that He is a pursuer God, and that He works to win our hearts. His desire and His love are for us.

Your True Self

Your True Self

  I think often. Maybe too much. I ponder the polarities of life and death, purpose and meaninglessness, love and apathy, intimacy and loneliness, pleasure and pain, responsibility and laziness. Too often, (at least from my perspective) we fail to personally grapple with the difficult questions raised by these life provocations. Instead we defy the [...]

Bad Kids or Searching Teens?

Cutting. Dusting. Choking. Salvia. And no I’m not referring to cutting vegetables, cleaning your house or choking on your saliva-though that would be weird too. This is more serious than that. Way more serious.

Words you didn’t hear five years ago have now become common vernacular in a youth culture desperate for healing. Cutting-to desperately relieve the internal pain and depression. Using Dust Off ®-an aerosolized computer keyboard cleaner that contains compressed gas-to get high. Choking oneself to enter a euphoric state. And Salvia-an halluncinogenic herb only banned in eight states-more powerful than and considered to be the next marijuana. New fads. More teen deaths.

Why God?

Why God?

There are grandmas. And then, there are Me-maws. I had a Me-maw.

As a boy I went to her house often. Special moments were Sunday’s after church when my family got together and turned the peaceful ambience of her home into playful chaos. My sister and I wrestled and nitpicked. Dad and I whipped each other with wet towels we had used to dry the dishes. The real fun was seeing who would end up with the bright orange, “Special $.99” sticker from the chip bag, on their back. After lunch, we napped, played cards, or watched football.

I lived every kid’s dream of being loved.
