83. Tell the Story: Passing Down a Living Faith to the Next Generation

What if the greatest legacy you leave your children isn’t your wisdom, protection, or provision — but your story?

In this heartfelt episode, I open Exodus 13 and unpack the moment God told His people to tell their children what He had done — not just once, but every generation. Somewhere in those words is our modern‑day calling as parents, grandparents, and mentors: to keep telling the stories of His faithfulness.

You’ll hear how sharing your own testimony becomes the key to raising kids who know and love the Lord for themselves, and why your unfinished, messy story might be the very thing God wants to use most.

Together we’ll explore:

• How your testimony becomes a modern‑day Exodus in your family

• Practical ways to weave faith stories into everyday life

• The danger of silence — and what happens when culture fills in the blanks

• Why your real, imperfect story is still holy, powerful, and worth telling

There’s also a companion blog post to go along with today’s episode — with reflection questions, a scripture breakdown of Exodus 13, and more encouragement to help you begin sharing your story in your own family. It’s a beautiful next step if you're ready to go deeper.

I’ll also walk you through two free tools I created just for you:

• Legacy of Faith Guided Journal — a free printable to help you reflect on and record your story

• The Healing Mirror — a companion tool to uncover what God’s been writing through your healing journey

If your heart is craving deeper restoration, I’d love to invite you to the Renew & Restore Women’s Retreat this February in the Smoky Mountains — a sacred space to rest, heal, and reconnect with God.

And if you're in need of more support and or help with breaking generational patterns of dysfunction in your family dynamic, book a family coaching or biblical counseling session with me here

Let’s raise a generation that knows the Lord — not just by doctrine, but by the living testimonies they’ve heard from us.

xoxo,
