Generational Blessings: Are They Still a Thing Today?

In this episode, Dan Sanchez sits down with Pastors Ridley Barron, Jon Ballard, and Kyle Hess to dive into the stories of Genesis 12-29 and unpack the rich context surrounding Abraham's story and the Abrahamic blessing. The discussion explores the generational passing of blessings, God's sovereign plan through broken people, and how the themes of faith and promise still resonate today. They also examine how genealogies, oral traditions, and God's unexpected choices demonstrate His intentionality in fulfilling His redemptive plan.
