From Ashes to Legacy: Building Altars for Generations

Today on the podcast, we’re diving into a powerful and deeply personal message that began with a 4:30 AM encounter—one of those moments when heaven interrupts your sleep with a word that refuses to leave. On October 8th, 2024, the phrase “Smash the altars” stirred something in my spirit, initiating a months-long journey through Scripture, prayer, and spiritual clarity.

Much like conversations around sober-minded living invite us to wake up, name what we’ve been carrying, and step into a life of alignment, this message calls us to examine the spiritual “altars” that shape our inner world—those unseen structures influencing our families, patterns, and generations.

In this episode, we explore:

• What spiritual altars truly are—and why they’re more than ancient artifacts
 • Why tearing down destructive altars in our lives and family lines is essential, but only the first step
• How building righteous altars aligns us with God’s presence, clarity, and generational healing
• Why Gideon couldn’t experience breakthrough until he confronted the altars speaking against his destiny
• How these unseen spiritual platforms influence identity, finances, emotional cycles, addiction, and family legacy
• Real stories of breakthrough that happened when people chose to build something holy, intentional, and aligned with God

Just as women in the SoberSis movement discover freedom by naming what numbs them, this message invites you to name what’s been silently influencing your life—and partner with God for transformation.

If you’ve felt stuck in cycles that repeat…
 If your blessings feel devoured before they reach your hands…
 If you sense God calling you to rise as a deliverer in your family line…

This episode will give you the tools, clarity, and spiritual insight to dismantle what’s been hindering you—and build what will carry you and your family into freedom.

This is Part 1 of a two-part series.
👉 Don’t miss Part 2: Smash the Altars — Partnering with God for Freedom and Breakthrough, where we will walk through communion and the practical steps of tearing down and building up.

📖 Scripture Focus: Judges 6–7, Hebrews 9 & 12, Romans 12:1, 1 Kings 13:2
