Part 1: Exploring God's Design for Transformation (with Debbie Swindoll)
Manage episode 355973567 series 3384995
Debbie Swindoll founded Grafted Life Ministries with her husband Curt, and she served as Executive Director for twelve years. Debbie has enjoyed the study of relational theology and the intersection of faith and neuroscience, often called neurotheology.
Why do we learn more about God, but often we are not experiencing true spiritual transformation? Can people really change? How do people change?
In this conversation, Adam Ormord and Debbie explore God’s design for our attachment to Him. Debbie shares one of the vignettes from the gospel of Mark where the disciples’ attachment to Jesus was revealed in their relational dynamics.
We also hear stories from the gospels where attachment to Jesus is revealed, and attachment repair takes place.
In noticing the relational encounters in Scripture, we have opportunities to engage with God. By imagining ourselves in Scripture, by reading slowly and seeing what arises, we can notice our own heart attachments.
