In Conversation With... Dr. Geoff Holsclaw

Relational Neuroscience, Spiritual Formation, Attachment Theory, and Unity

(If you want to listen to the conversation outside of Substack, you can subscribe on Spotify, YouTube, or Apple Podcasts.)

As part of the launch of the 31 Days of Unity Campaign, we are exploring the experiences of Christians across the country and trying to discern the most significant challenges to our pursuit of unity. This episode explores our brains and how they have been wired for connection, which can be both an impediment and an answer to our divisions and pursuit of unity.

In this conversation, Ideos’ Greg Arthur and Dr. Geoff Holsclaw explore the intersection of spiritual formation and relational neuroscience, particularly focusing on attachment theory. They discuss how attachment styles influence our relationships with others and God, emphasizing the importance of secure attachments for personal and communal transformation. The conversation highlights the need for churches to cultivate relational skills and practices that foster unity and healing, as well as the significance of rupture and repair in relationships. Holsclaw also introduces the upcoming Attaching to God Summit, which aims to deepen understanding of these concepts.

The 31 Days of Unity campaign started on 10/1/24, but you can still sign up and participate.
