32. How to Break Generational Curses and Build a New Legacy

Have you ever wondered why certain patterns seem to run in your family—fear, anxiety, striving, or even silence around faith? And have you ever hoped, deep down, “Lord, let it stop with me”?

In this episode we talk about generational curses and generational blessings—what they are, how they show up, and how, in Christ, you can partner with God to build a new legacy for your family line.

Starting in Psalm 103:17–18, they unpack the promise that God’s righteousness extends to our children’s children and talk about what it practically looks like to sow spiritual blessings into the next generation through:

• Stories of faith – honestly sharing where God has met you in real life
• Prayer over children and grandchildren – not just for safety and success, but for hearts that love God
• Scripture woven into everyday life – from simple reading plans to Scripture set to music

Debbie shares honestly about a generational pattern of fear on her dad’s side of the family and how she has intentionally confronted it—recognizing fear is not from God, praying through it, and sometimes quite literally “waging war” in prayer over her home and family.

Jena talks about wanting her kids to inherit more than financial stability—she wants them to inherit a rich spiritual heritage of prayer, blessing, and freedom. Together, they explore how to identify unhealthy patterns, break them in Jesus’ name, and replace them with truth, peace, and purpose.

If you’ve ever felt the weight of your family history—or the desire to create something different for your children—this episode will give you hope, language, and a place to start.
