God Attachment Healing
Hi everyone! Welcome to the God Attachment Healing Podcast. I'm your host, Sam Landa. This podcast is dedicated to Christians who want to understand why they relate to God in the way they do. I explore how our early childhood relationship with our parents--specifically with how they met or did not meet our needs--influences how we relate to ourselves, the church, and to God. Because much of the pains and struggles of life are intertwined in these three areas, I discuss with my guests how we can find healing from the pain, confusion, doubt, and anger experienced in these relationships. If you're interested in learning more about your attachment style and how to heal from the pain you’ve experienced in the relationships mentioned above, then this podcast is for you. Welcome to the show! I'm happy you're here!

Accepting God's Forgiveness and Learning How to Extend it to Others w/ Dr. Jichan Kim
Send Me Questions on Attachment
We all need forgiveness. Forgiveness is a key factor in receiving the gift of salvation. Jesus forgives our sins when we repent from them and turn towards Him. Jesus forgave the most heinous of sins, including the past, present and future ones. The Bible says that "if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins" (1 John 1:9). But even though this is a hallmark of the Gospel, it is probably one of the most difficult for Christians to accept and practice.
On today's episode, Dr. Jichan Kim and I discuss the difficulties in accepting God's forgiveness as well as extending it to those who have hurt us deeply.
We also discuss the following topics:
- Do we need to forgive ourselves before we can accept God’s forgiveness, or are self-forgiveness and accepting God’s forgiveness separate concepts?
- What are the greatest barriers to self-forgiveness or accepting God’s forgiveness?
- How do we know we are forgiven by God?
- What is the measuring stick for know if we have forgiven others?
- Are there different stages of forgiveness?
- How do we distinguish between forgiveness and reconciliation, because these two principles are often conflated?
- What does “loving the person” who hurt us look like after we forgive them?
- What are the greatest barriers to forgiving others?
- Lastly, what does the Bible say about forgiveness?
