Ghosts in the Family Tree

Generational sin, inherited trauma, family curses: what Scripture actually says about what we inherit from previous generations and how to break free. The conversation the church avoids about what runs in families.

The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin.

The Ghosts That Haunt Us

There are things that run in families. Not just eye color or height or talent. There are patterns. Addictions. Abuses. Anxieties. Dysfunctions. Patterns that repeat from generation to generation, like a curse that cannot be escaped.

This series is about those ghosts. It is about what we inherit from our families, both biological and spiritual. It is about what Scripture actually says about generational sin and trauma. And it is about how to break free.

The only way to break a cycle is to name it. The ghosts in your family tree do not have to control your future.
