62 Riptide Warning
About this episode
This episode explores the concept of sinful family patterns and their impact across generations, drawing insights from Dr. Rob Reimer's book 'Soul Care'.
This week we’re diving back into Soul Care by Dr. Rob Reimer and unpacking the powerful idea of sinful family patterns—the habits, wounds, struggles, and strongholds that seem to repeat themselves, generation after generation. Sometimes we think time heals old wounds, but often the things left unaddressed don’t disappear; they simply go underground and show up later in different ways. I kept coming back to this image from the book of a riptide . You can be swimming along, feeling completely fine, and suddenly realize you're being pulled somewhere you never intended to go. Family patterns can work like that. We tell ourselves, I’ll never become like that, and then years later we realize we’re standing in the very place we swore we'd avoid. Books mentioned in this episode • Soul Care — Dr. Rob Reimer • Sacred Parenting — Gary Thomas • Sacred Marriage — Gary Thomas • My Brilliant Career — Miles Franklin • 2 Samuel
