📚Grab the Document spoken about: LINK Welcome to Week #1 of our powerful Relationships Goals series, "Ending Generational Dysfunction," where we delve into a 35-minute session aimed at reshaping relationships and finding God's purpose in our lives. In this episode, we use the metaphor of two puzzles to illustrate the complexities of dysfunctional patterns. One puzzle holds the wrong image, representing the dysfunction we aim to break. The other puzzle, with the right image, signifies the transformative journey towards God's intended purpose for our relationships. 🔍 CLEAR THE TABLE: This month, join us as we explore how God can reveal, repair, and heal relationships. Discover His best for you and strengthen your connections. Are you ready to thrive? 🍽️ APPETIZER: Acknowledging that dysfunction is common, we address various issues like threats, verbal and physical abuse, victim mentality, communication gaps, and anger outbursts. The truth is, what you consider "normal" may be causing dysfunction in your relationships. 🧩 THE PUZZLE ANALOGY: Drawing inspiration from 1 Corinthians 12:12-27, we discuss the diversity in relationships and how God has one clear picture for each of us. Much like a puzzle, we may hold onto pieces that don't fit, causing chaos. The key is letting go of the wrong pieces to build the right picture. 🔄 RESET THE PICTURE: By understanding our backgrounds and clearing the wrong image inherited from generational dysfunction, we pave the way for fulfilling relationships. God has a vision and plan for your marriage, family, communication, intimacy, and forgiveness. ❓ QUESTION: Are you willing to let go of the comfortable but dysfunctional pieces for the sake of breaking generational dysfunction? 🔊 LISTEN: Breaking dysfunctional cycles may be uncomfortable, but with God's help, it's necessary for moving towards His plan for you. 🎨 REPLACING THE PIECE: Learn new skills, work through discomfort, and let go of pieces that don't fit. This process refines your holiness and honors God. 🛠️ TOOL ON SOCIAL: Engage in a conversation guide for ending generational dysfunction. Watch the message on YouTube and discuss generational tendencies, misplaced puzzle pieces, and steps to replace them. 🙏 PRAYER: Take this week to reflect, pray, and consider the action steps shared. God's grace is sufficient, and His power works best in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). Join us on this transformative journey as we end generational dysfunction and embrace God's purpose for our relationships.
