Saddleback Spiritual Growth Pastor Jason Wieland talks with Dr. Todd Hall, professor of Psychology at the Rosemead School of Psychology at Biola University and author of The Connected Life: The Art and Science of Relational Spirituality. The conversation seeks to respond to the question “How does my relationship with God affect my relationships with others?”. They discuss attachment theory, the link between social disconnection and spiritual disconnection, symptoms of spiritual disconnection, the difference between pseudo-connection and healthy connection, ways to improve our attachment to God, helpful spiritual practices, and tips for deepening your relationships.
