GOLDEN, Colo., Aug. 3, 2026 /Standard Newswire/ — Good Enough Christian asks a provocative question: What if God’s love is so vast, unconditional, and unlike human love that part of us is actually afraid to trust it?
Christians routinely say, “God loves me.” But what if some of us are subconsciously frightened by just how much He does?
After more than 30 years as a pastor, conference speaker, and award-winning Christian author, Dr. Bill Senyard believes this may be one of the hidden obstacles keeping sincere Christians spiritually stuck.
God’s love may simply seem too good to be true. And yet it is.
Human beings learn early that love can disappear. People disappoint us, reject us, abandon us, shame us, or withdraw when we fail. Our brains learn to protect us accordingly. Then Christianity announces something almost unbelievable: There is a Person who knows everything about you, sees everything you’ve done—and His delight in you cannot be earned, increased, or frightened away.
What if part of us doesn’t know what to do with a love like that?
In his new book, Good Enough Christian, Senyard brings Scripture into conversation with attachment theory, neuroscience, and the work of the Holy Spirit to explore why believers can know intellectually that God loves them while struggling to experience His delight personally.
“What if the Christian life isn’t about becoming more lovable to God,” Senyard asks, “but learning to experience the almost unbelievable love that is already ours in Christ?”
Good Enough Christian examines perfectionism, shame, spiritual performance, emotional wounds, and the brain’s powerful instinct for self-protection. Senyard argues that one of the Holy Spirit’s often-overlooked ministries is making the Father’s love experientially real to hearts that have learned not to trust love.
This isn’t an argument for lowering the bar on Christian maturity.
It’s an argument that transformation happens differently than many Christians have been taught: We don’t strive our way into God’s delight. We learn to live from it.
Dr. Bill Senyard is available for radio, television, podcast, and print interviews on topics including why Christians struggle to feel loved by God; whether God’s love can actually feel threatening; attachment theory and spiritual growth; why “trying harder” can backfire; neuroscience and the brain’s resistance to trust; and the overlooked role of the Holy Spirit in experiencing God’s love.
