Freedom From Patterns, Narratives, & Scripts Inherited from Our Ancestors

Freedom From Patterns, Narratives, & Scripts Inherited from Our Ancestors

1 Peter 1:14-23 So much of who we are is a product of our ancestors and the family we grew up in. We are a product of the narratives and scripts that were handed down by the generations that came before us. We have been handed some really good stuff by our ancestors....and we have also been handed some patterns, narratives, and scripts that are deeply lacking. This episode explores what Jesus has to say to us here.

Crucible Experiences

1 Peter 1:3-9 When life turns up the heat on you, what can you do? You want to turn down the heat. You want to manage the heat. You want to escape the heat.

Hope is a Gift
