Thanks for watching!

[@deborahclavette879]

I see Jeremiah 31 as being a tremendous promise regarding the redemption and restoration of the people of God after waywardness, and I believe that the verses beginning with 29 speak to the breaking of generational curses. God's plan for the redemption of His people is a magnificent and beautiful one.

So good! Please more of these episodes! I would love more guidance around trauma to my kids because of addiction of their father.

[@sugoh8051]

Loved this... so thankful that Jim and Joel slowed their speech down enough that I could understand what they were saying without having to rewind and rewind...such wisdom that I would rewind but so nice not to have to.

Little tip, if you click the setting button on top right corner of video, then click playback speed, you can slow the video down so it’s easier to listen 😊

Thank you Jim, Joel, and Lysa.

[@rebeccahayhurst442]

Thank you. I’m dealing with these types of issues in my family just this week with adult sibling conflict and issues of sin being modeled to my kids and being passed down. I’ve been praying for wisdom and this was really helpful.

What happens when it's the parent that caused the conflict. My mother is a Narcissist and she liked control.

[@LouAnnMiller-zq6th]

I'd love to hear more on the subject of Honoring Your Mother and Your Father.

Where can low income families living off the government get trauma therapy ?

[@OfficialProverbs31Ministries]

Hi, friend! Start by connecting with your local church to see what resources they have available.
