Sacred Attachment with Michael Cusick

Sacred Attachment with Michael Cusick

Author: Living Truth Inc June 1, 2026 Duration: 47:21
What if your relationship with God doesn’t have to feel like a performance review? In this rich conversation, Michael Cary sits down with author and counselor Michael John Cusick — author of Surfing for God and his newest book Sacred Attachment — to explore one of the most liberating ideas in spiritual life: that your connection to God is unbreakable, and you don’t have to earn it. We explore: • What “sacred attachment” actually means and why it changes everything about how we relate to God • How attachment theory (seen, soothed, safe, secure) shapes not just our human relationships but our relationship with God • Why “trust and obey” and “know more, do better” Christianity leaves so many of us exhausted and stuck • The root connection between early attachment wounds and addiction • Michael Cusick’s powerful “Five W’s” framework: wretchedness, weakness, woundedness, warfare, and wiring • The “delta” — the gap between what we know to be true (no condemnation!) and what we actually feel — and why information alone doesn’t close it • What freedom actually is: not the absence of sin, but the presence of your deepest desire • Why transformation doesn’t happen through information — and what actually moves the needle You’ll walk away with: A fresh, grace-soaked understanding of who God is toward you — even on your worst days. Whether you’re in recovery or just weary from trying harder, this episode will help you exhale and come home. Sacred Attachment is not just for people in addiction recovery — it’s for anyone who has ever felt like they’re failing at the Christian life.
