Scripture offers us a three-part, biblical framework for discipleship that frees us from the power of the past: 1. Acknowledge how the blessings and sins of your family—going back three to four generations—profoundly impacts who you are today. 2. Recognize you have been birthed into a new family—the family of Jesus. 3. Put off the sinful patterns of your family of origin and culture, and learn how to do life in the new family of Jesus.
