I’m sharing how to discern if he’s God-sent through peace, purpose, boundaries, and wisdom—so you can date with clarity, not anxiety.

Alexis M. Lott opens the “Hey, Let’s Heal” episode on breaking generational curses with prayer and a request to subscribe, share, and leave reviews. She cautions Christians against proudly claiming to be “the generational curse breaker,” sharing a prayer revelation that Jesus is the curse breaker and believers are beneficiaries of an inheritance, using an allegory of a billionaire child who already possesses wealth but must learn to receive and manage it. She connects trauma-driven perfectionism to works-based faith and shame, emphasizing rest in Christ’s finished work. She likens the Holy Spirit to a trusted financial advisor and “wonderful counselor” who provides guidance and spiritual gifts to help change generational patterns through partnership, identity as sons and daughters, and walking in freedom. She prays for listeners to receive or be freshly stirred by the Holy Spirit and previews a part two on consequences, shame, and guilt.

Alexis, a trauma-trained executive coach and licensed minister, discusses how a “poverty spirit” can train people to hold onto broken-down possessions out of fear and shame, confusing this with being a faithful financial steward.
