What does it mean to truly abide in God? How do we move beyond merely knowing about God to experiencing deep communion with Him? In this episode, I sit down with Michael John Cusick, author of Sacred Attachment, to explore the life-changing power of living in loving connection with God.

Michael, a licensed professional counselor, spiritual director, and founder of Restoring the Soul, shares how our core needs—being seen, soothed, safe, and secure—are met in Christ. We also discuss the barriers that prevent us from experiencing intimacy with God, from false beliefs to misguided attempts to ease our pain.

Together, we unpack practical insights like:
The difference between accurate knowledge about God and communing with Him.
Why our struggles often stem from mishandled pain.
How imagination can open the door to experiencing God more fully.
And how mysticism invites us to spiritual oneness with God.

Join us for a conversation that will deepen your understanding of God’s invitation to abide and inspire you to take your next step toward living in sacred attachment.

💡 Guest Bio: Michael John Cusick is the founder of Restoring the Soul, author of Surfing for God, and a trusted voice in the integration of faith and counseling. His work has been featured in Relevant,HuffPost, and Red-Letter Christians. He lives in Littleton, Colorado, with his wife, Julianne.
