Welcome to Deserts & Gardens Podcast!

In this heartfelt episode, we’re opening up about the generational patterns and curses we’ve recognized in our families—and how we’re choosing to break them before stepping into parenthood. From unhealthy communication styles to emotional wounds and spiritual strongholds, we’re sharing the intentional steps we’re taking in our marriage to leave a legacy of healing, not hurt.

📖 Key Topics:

  • Recognizing generational patterns in your family

  • How marriage exposes inherited behaviors

  • Practical and biblical steps to break unhealthy cycles

  • Preparing spiritually and emotionally for raising a family

📖 Key Verses:
Exodus 20:5-6 – “...visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children... but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.”
2 Corinthians 5:17 – “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”
Romans 12:2 – “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind...”
