ServingLeaders Podcast

Join us for a conversation with Dr. Penny Freeman, our Clinical Supervisor at ServingLeaders, to discuss the complex generational family dynamics that influence our lives. We talk about how to understand and have context for the differences and challenges we experience between us and our parents, grandparents, and children. We also talk about how to begin to change family dynamics over time and how to experience God’s redemption in even the hardest family challenges.
