It Runs in the Family - Disqualified?
Families are complicated. Patterns get passed down, brokenness gets repeated, and sometimes it feels like we’re stuck in cycles we didn’t choose. In In this series, we’ll look at the life of Jacob and discover how God meets us right in the middle of dysfunction—not to shame us, but to redeem us. What’s been passed down doesn’t have to define you. God can rewrite your story.

Before God ever says a word… we disqualify ourselves.

You don’t just experience dysfunction… you start building your whole life around trying to outrun it.
Does what shaped me… now disqualify me?
God’s Plan Is Bigger Than Your Dysfunction
Your dysfunction does not disqualify you… but it does reveal where you need God’s grace.
God doesn’t just work in spite of broken stories… He often chooses to work through them.

The Grace Ditch:
