What We Do

Many Christians struggle to integrate questions of mental health, trauma, and psychology with their journey of faith.

• Sometimes, people just ignore their mental and spiritual health, and refuse the insights of the psychological sciences.
• Other times, people just leave faith altogether when they begin to take their mental health issues seriously. 

Neither option is helpful.

Geoff Holsclaw (PhD) and Cyd Holsclaw (PCC), in their work through THE CENTER FOR EMBODIED FAITH, are mining all the resources God gave us—from brain science to Bible study, from spiritual direction to theological doctrine—to help people faithfully grow in relational capacity and spiritual maturity.

THE CENTER FOR EMBODIED FAITH is supported by the generous gifts of individuals, churches, and organizations. Your gifts help us create resources for integrating relational neuroscience and spiritual formation in order to equip a new generation of Jesus followers. 

These gifts help us produce

• the Attaching to God podcast,
• create print and digital resources,
• host the annual Attaching to God Summit
• and run learning cohorts and training
• and offer scholarships and discounts.  

Who Are We?

Moving forward from their own DEEP WOUNDS and DISCONNECTED PATTERNS, Geoff and Cyd Holsclaw (the co-founders of the Center For Embodied Faith) began learning about how our minds, memories, and bodies can keep us trapped in the past and fearful about the future—in their relationships and spirituality.

• Both Geoff and Cyd have been in pastoral ministry for over 20 years.

• Co-authors of Landscapes of the Soul: How the Science and Spirituality of Attachment Can Move You into Confident Faith, Courage, and Connection and Does God Really Like Me? Discovering the God Who Wants to be With Us.

• Co-hosts of the Attaching to God, on neuroscience and spiritual formation.
