In this episode, Chris, Ryan, and Kayla discuss how Biblical love and secure attachment work together. Many of us hear Jesus’ command to “Love your neighbor as yourself.” But we rarely stop to ask what that actually means in our homes, or consider our children as our neighbors.

Loving your neighbor isn’t just about being nice; it’s about wanting what is best for someone else, in the same way that you want what’s best for yourself.

Chris, Kayla, and Ryan are still getting back to basics and are talking about attachment in this episode.
