This video podcast looks at chronic guilt, religious perfectionism, attachment, and difficulty feeling close to God. This episode also looks at the family environments and churches that influence a harsh view of God that is not balanced with the grace that invites us to draw close to God (Hebrews 4:15-16). I explain the difference between obedience, legalism (or striving), and grace.
