The turn from diagnosis to transformation: what you deposit determines what endures.
Course: Breaking the Cycle
Audience: BBGM Discipleship.
Audience: BBGM Discipleship.
Session Overview
Every session prior to this one has been primarily diagnostic — understanding why cycles form and how they can be interrupted. This final session makes the turn. Because the truth is, what you deposit matters forever. Psalm 78 gives us the blueprint: we tell the next generation of God’s works so that they may arise and declare them to their children. The cycle ends here. The legacy begins now.
Psalm 78:4-7 (AMP)
"We will not hide them from our children, but we will tell them to the generation to come, the praises of the LORD, and His might and His wonderful works that He has done. For He established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which He commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children. That the generation to come might know them, the children who would be born, that they may arise and declare them to their children."
