Summer Reset: REPLAY // The Truth About Generational Sin

from Jesus Over Everything · host Lisa Whittle: Author, Speaker, Founder of Lisa Whittle Ministries, LLC

You may have heard it said: "Jesus may be in your heart, but grandpa is in your bones." It's a statement that captures something real about family history and its hold on us, but is it actually true? And is it biblical? In this Summer Reset episode of the Jesus Over Everything podcast, Lisa Whittle takes on one of the most talked-about and least-understood topics in Christian culture: generational sin. Drawing from personal Bible study, scientific research on epigenetic inheritance, and her own family history, Lisa unpacks what the Bible actually says (and doesn't say) about generational sin, what we have the power to change, and why the blood of Jesus is a stronger force than any family bloodline. Listen in to learn more: The Pete Scazzaro statement Lisa “partly” agrees with What "generational sin" actually means and why the term doesn't appear in the Bible Epigenetic inheritance: the science on stress, trauma, and DNA being passed down The difference between inheriting patterns through proximity and inheriting sin through a bloodstream What we do have the power to change (and what only Jesus can do) Mentioned in the Episode: Bible Study – God Knows by Lisa Whittle: https://www.lisawhittle.com/godknows Book – Good Baggage by Ike Miller: https://ikemiller.com/good-baggage  Episode – Ike Miller on Good Baggage: https://www.lisawhittle.com/joeshow/joe-s10e17  Invite Lisa to Speak: https://www.lisawhittle.com/speaking Connect with Lisa:Website: https://www.lisawhittle.comSubstack: https://letsbeclear.substack.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@lisawhittleofficialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lisawhittleFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/lisawhittleofficial
