About this sermon
What if refuge was something you practiced? In this conversation, John Ortberg talks with therapist and trauma specialist Lisa Cuss about anxiety, church hurt, attachment theory, the nervous system, and Psalm 31. Lisa shares how reading the Psalms through the lens of the nervous system helped her understand David's prayers in a completely new way. His cries of fear, confusion, and desperation suddenly felt deeply human and surprisingly familiar. This episode explores: - Trauma and attachment theory - Church hurt and emotional healing - Psalm 31 and the image of refuge - Why God is called a fortress - Right-sizing reality through prayer - Making refuge an active spiritual practice Featuring reflections on: - David's prayers - The nervous system - Martin Luther - A Mighty Fortress Is Our God #Psalm31 #JohnOrtberg #LisaCuss #Prayer #Trauma #AttachmentTheory #SpiritualFormation #ChristianFaith #Anxiety #Psalms 🙌 New episodes every weekday. 📲 Subscribe, like, and share to help others grow spiritually.
