Attachment Wounds and Divine Holding

Today’s Scripture is: Psalm 27:10-14

This episode explores the psychology of attachment wounds through the lens of Psalm 27—one of scripture's most honest cries about being left behind.

We explore:

-what neuroscience tells us about how early attachment experiences literally shape brain architecture

-why our nervous systems stay on alert long after the original wound,

-how the psalmist's declaration speaks directly into that place.

We also explore the research on prayer and the brain, and what it might mean for our nervous systems to slowly experience being held.
