Are we doomed to struggle with depression because our great-grandma and grandma and mother did? Or have anger issues because it’s in the family? When you go to the doctor, they often ask you what is in your family. It’s automatically assumed that if it’s in your family you have a chance you will get it. Science supports this. What about generational curses? Are they a thing? What does God say about it? In this episode you will hear about mental health issues running in the family and when to tell if something is a generational curse. You will also hear how to get free from these patterns and even hear science behind the support of breaking these patterns. In the book, “It Didn’t Start With You”, author Mark Wolynn talks about how inherited family trauma shapes who we are and how we can end the cycle. You will also hear how powerful the blood of Jesus is to end these cycles and start the new cycle of our new creation with Jesus.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. ~2 Corinthians 5:17

“The Lord is slow to anger and filled with unfailing love, forgiving every kind of sin and rebellion. But he does not excuse the guilty. He lays the sins of the parents upon their children; the entire family is affected—even children in the third and fourth generations.” ~Numbers 14:18

“On the other side of surrender are insights that would otherwise be unavailable to me.” ~Mark Wolynn
