Are you afraid you’re becoming the very thing you hated in your family, and you don’t know how to stop it? Maybe you’re walking into the next family gathering with a smile on your face, but your stomach’s in knots. You love them, but you also fear them, because every time you get close, something in you snaps. The old anger. The old shutdown. The old people pleasing. The old guilt. And you hear that line in your head, “This is just how we are.” But what if that’s not who you are? What if that’s who you were trained to be? Content warning: This episode discusses suicide, suicidal thoughts, and deep emotional pain. Please use wisdom as you listen. If you or someone you love is in crisis, in the United States you can call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, or contact your local emergency number immediately. In this episode of Families, Broken and Beloved, we open the Bible to Exodus 34 and Ezekiel 18 and we face the question no one wants to ask out loud. Can God break the cycle in my family, even after addiction, abuse, or suicide has touched the story? We’ll deal honestly with grief, family wounds, and the pain you do not post online. We’ll talk about that dark moment some call the “casket fantasy.” But we are not staying in the dark, because God’s loyal love, His chesed, is not fragile, and it is not afraid of your family history. In this episode you will: • Expose the truth about so called “generational curses” and repeating family cycles • See why you are not doomed to repeat what you hated • Learn practical, biblical steps to break destructive patterns in how you speak, react, and relate • Hear a compassionate, hope filled word for families marked by suicide and those carrying silent grief Tell me in the comments: Where do you most want to see God break a cycle in your life and your family story? I read every comment, and I will pray for you by name. If you found this info useful, hit that subscribe button and share this video with others.
