Episode Finding Secure Attachment in God When Productivity, Approval, or People Can’t Sustain You
Today's Scripture: Jeremiah 17:5–8
In this episode, Dr. Alison Cook reflects on the powerful image of a tree planted by water. She explores what happens when we ask approval, productivity, perfectionism, control, or another person’s response to carry the full weight of our security. We explore:
*Why needing people is not the problem—but making one person your source can drain your soul
*How approval, productivity, perfectionism, and control can become fragile root systems
*Why fear-based attachment makes it hard to receive goodness
*How to become like a tree planted by water, steady even when heat or drought comes
*How secure attachment with God helps you receive love without clinging to it
