Most people think becoming a Christian automatically breaks every generational curse. But what if the patterns in your bloodline are deeper than you realise… and prayer alone isn't enough?

In this raw and honest episode of For The Record, we dive into the truth about generational curses — the ones that show up in marriages, parenting, money, mindsets, and even ministry.

We discuss how trauma, pride, culture, and disobedience often reinforce the very patterns we pray to escape. @sterlingrecord and @HayleyMulendax explore their own experiences confronting inherited dysfunction and choosing to break cycles that were normalised in their families.

They also discuss the biblical mandate to be the one who rises, even when it costs you comfort, acceptance, and tradition.

Whether you're the first to get married, the first to build wealth, or the first to prioritise emotional health and obedience to God — this episode will speak to the burden and the blessing of being the curse breaker in your family.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why generational curses still affect Christians
• The lie that prayer alone will fix everything
• How repeated patterns in families are often spiritual and emotional
• The connection between trauma and generational cycles
• Why obedience, accountability, and therapy are needed to fully break the curse
• How parenting, presence, and identity are shaped by what you don’t heal
• The cost of being the first one to walk in freedom

f you’ve ever said: - “Why does this always happen in my family?” - “I’m scared my marriage will end like my parents’ did.” - “This is just who I am…”

This episode is your wake-up call. Jesus gave you authority, but it’s up to you to apply it. This is what most people never talk about — until now.
