Celebrating the 100th episode of the More Faith, More Life podcast, I reflect on a journey filled with gratitude and discovery alongside my wife, Kathy. Kathy shares insights from her groundbreaking sermon on “generational blessings,” offering a fresh take on the age-old concept of generational curses. By focusing on the blessings we inherit rather than the burdens, we aim to redefine how faith can profoundly enhance our lives, sparking hope and empowerment for our listeners.
Key Takeaways:
- Generational blessings can significantly influence one’s life and faith journey if recognized and cultivated.
- It’s possible to break free of negative family patterns by embracing blessings available through faith.
- Listeners are encouraged to identify and embrace their divine potential, regardless of past family circumstances.
- By focusing on positive ancestral legacies and biblical principles, individuals can rewrite their personal and family narratives.
- Engaging with faith and making a conscious choice to pursue blessings can lead to transformative life experiences.

This podcast is for Christians with an ambitious heart who want to be more for their family, do more with their career, and see more of God’s promises in their life. I’ve spent many years as a worship artist, minister, non-profit leader, bold truth speaker, and most importantly, father and spouse.
0:00:31 – (Steve Gray): When I was in my early 40s, I was craving more. More from God and more from life. I’d done everything I was supposed to do. My life was good, but it wasn’t good enough. So I spent the following years diving into the word of God and searching for the biblical principles that would bring me closer to God and help my purpose and the life flourish. That’s what I want to share with you. In every episode, you’ll get practical tools based on real life experiences that you can put into action to redefine your faith and ultimately your life.
0:01:06 – (Steve Gray): So if you’re ready to do more, subscribe to More Faith, More Life and hear an unfiltered biblical truth every week. It’s time to be and experience more.
0:01:18 – (Steve Gray): Hello everyone, and welcome to another More Faith, More Life podcast. I’m here with my wife Kathy, and we are excited to visit with you today about some great news. And Kathy preached a sermon on Sunday. I didn’t know. I hope you’re okay with women preachers. Cause I am. And it was a doozy that we’re going to talk about in a minute. But first I want to share, Kathy, that this is the 100th episode of More Faith, More Life.
0:01:43 – (Steve Gray): I don’t know how I could think of a hundred things to say, but we have and you’ve joined us. And I. I appreciate you being here too. Some of them I did by myself. And I like it so much better that you’re here. Thank you. Yeah, I do. It’s just better. And I think the folks like it better too, as we enjoy moving forward with this. But anyway, so 100 times we’ve had something to say and now we have something to say today.
0:02:07 – (Kathy Gray): Yes, we do.
0:02:08 – (Steve Gray): So you preached on Sunday and I encouraged you to go for it because you brought up a subject that I have not heard anybody ever say. Now, that doesn’t mean it hadn’t been said. That doesn’t mean somebody didn’t do it somewhere, someplace. But we haven’t done it and I hadn’t heard it. So you talked on what I would call the generational blessing right now. The reason I like it so well, as you know. Cause we’ve talked about it before.
0:02:41 – (Steve Gray): The reason I like it so well is because all I have heard for however many years of ministry been doing it is generational curses and how to break a generational curse. And so I get it. I get why people preach that and there’s some legitimacy to it, but I get it because people respond to that because they look like, oh, now I know why I’m such a jerk. I’ve got a curse on, you know, it’s my generation. My dad was a jerk. My mom was, you know, my grandfather was a drunk.
0:03:14 – (Kathy Gray): Mom was a jerk.
0:03:14 – (Steve Gray): Yeah. You know, my, my great grandfather was a thief, you know, and so all of a sudden you flipped it on us.
0:03:23 – (Kathy Gray): Yes, I did.
0:03:23 – (Steve Gray): You said there is there. Okay, maybe there’s some legitimacy to a generational curse, but if you’ve got a generational blessing, you’re not going to have a generational curse.
0:03:35 – (Kathy Gray): That’s right.
0:03:36 – (Steve Gray): It’s not even relevant. Yeah, it’s not relevant. Right.
0:03:39 – (Kathy Gray): Yes.
0:03:40 – (Steve Gray): And so we had a great time, you and I, talking about aren’t my generation, your generation. I, I better not tell any jokes. Remember the joke I tell you. But you probably my kids are going to say don’t tell jokes. So I’m not going to do it.
0:03:53 – (Kathy Gray): No, not right now, you know, remember?
0:03:54 – (Steve Gray): Okay, but I won’t tell it. I, I, I, I have a great sense of humor. Don’t.
0:03:59 – (Kathy Gray): I know the minute you’ve thought of something funny. I know you so well, but you’re a little, a twinkle of miss. Miss.
0:04:08 – (Steve Gray): I’m twinkling right now, but anyway starts okay. Yeah. But you, let’s, let’s go with you. You have a great generational blessing.
0:04:18 – (Kathy Gray): Yes, I do. Many generations.
0:04:20 – (Steve Gray): I found out that I do too. But mine was hidden for so many years. I didn’t know, but yours was more well known. Could we just for a minute go back to you? We’ll go on you because you have such a special blessing that people prayed. And I know that those men and women through your ancestry were praying people and you know, praying people pray. They pray for this generation and that. Look at us how we pray for our kids and grandkids.
0:04:50 – (Steve Gray): Okay, so let’s back up for a second. And would you tell me first of all your generational blessing before we talk to the folks about grabbing their generational blessings?
0:05:00 – (Kathy Gray): Yeah, well, my generational Blessing. One of them contained in my whole life is that I had many, many people who were believers, Christians. I’m a Moffatt from Moffat, Scotland originally. And so Robert Moffat was one of my ancestors and he was the first, like real famous establishing missionary to Africa. And he was the one, he gave his whole life there in Africa being that missionary. He translated the Bible into one of the African languages, into Svetlana or something.
0:05:35 – (Kathy Gray): So he had that in his heart. And then though his daughter, Mary Moffat married David Livingston.
0:05:43 – (Steve Gray): Oh, everybody. Well, I don’t know about. At least I grew up with. What was it?
0:05:48 – (Kathy Gray): Livingston.
0:05:49 – (Steve Gray): Livingston. I presume that was a famous, famous line. If you don’t know that line. It went through, it was in movies and comedy.
0:05:57 – (Kathy Gray): And that man had. He took what Robert Moffat had done and he became also an explorer of the land and he learned how to take the gospel and Christianity out deeper and deeper into Africa. So that’s.
0:06:12 – (Steve Gray): Let me back up just for a second. So Livingston, I presume is a famous line because they were looking for him.
0:06:18 – (Kathy Gray): Yeah, he showed up finally.
0:06:20 – (Steve Gray): Yeah, he showed up finally. But your ancestor. Well, wait a minute, your dad.
0:06:27 – (Kathy Gray): My dad was named Robert Moffatt. Okay.
0:06:31 – (Steve Gray): Named after him.
0:06:32 – (Kathy Gray): That’s right.
0:06:33 – (Steve Gray): And so he has a brother.
0:06:35 – (Kathy Gray): And my brother is named James Robert Moffatt after the other really blessing man in our lives. And that James Robert was Scottish and he lived after Robert Moffat.
0:06:49 – (Steve Gray): Right.
0:06:49 – (Kathy Gray): And so he made a translation. He was the grandfather of the modern Bible translation.
0:06:56 – (Steve Gray): So you can, you can get a Bible today that says James Moffat.
0:07:00 – (Kathy Gray): Yeah, the James Moffat.
0:07:01 – (Steve Gray): We have it in our translation. And your brothers, you brothers.
0:07:04 – (Kathy Gray): And my brother’s name’s James Robert.
0:07:07 – (Steve Gray): Yeah, we call him Jim, but it was James.
0:07:08 – (Kathy Gray): I call him Jimmy still, you know.
0:07:10 – (Steve Gray): Yeah. And so, and so Robert Moffat really was, I don’t know, the movement. And then his daughter
0:07:21 – (Kathy Gray): Mary married David’s Livingston, who became world famous.
0:07:26 – (Steve Gray): But Robert Moffat was famous too, real famous, but not so much later because the Livingston story, and he did a lot of things.
0:07:34 – (Kathy Gray): But you know, I got a sideline. I’ve got a picture that J.D. our son in law got for me of Robert Moffat, the original one.
0:07:44 – (Steve Gray): Really? I don’t know if I’ve seen that. Have I seen that? I don’t know.
0:07:46 – (Kathy Gray): Yeah, I think you have. And my daddy looked like that guy.
0:07:50 – (Steve Gray): Oh, I can’t. You know, as soon as we’re done here, I’m going to go grab that.
0:07:52 – (Kathy Gray): It’s Just incredible.
0:07:54 – (Steve Gray): I don’t. I guess I forgot that look like.
0:07:55 – (Kathy Gray): Him, but so that’s.
0:07:57 – (Steve Gray): So Robert Moffat and then James Moffat. Yes, and then Livingston, I presume.
0:08:03 – (Kathy Gray): Yeah, he was. He was with Robert Moffat.
0:08:05 – (Steve Gray): Right, but they were all together. They were all together.
0:08:08 – (Kathy Gray): The most famous James Robert Moffatt, James Moffatt was not. He was Scottish. He was a theologian, a preacher, a teacher, a scholar. And he’s the one then who brought forth the first modern day translation for people to be able to read in, you know, in a relatable way. And so he was called. He’s called the grandfather of the modern English translations, isn’t it? I mean, whoa.
0:08:35 – (Steve Gray): Good for you. What a generation.
0:08:37 – (Kathy Gray): You know what?
0:08:38 – (Steve Gray): Wait, there’s another one.
0:08:39 – (Kathy Gray): I have the unknown circuit rider in my family.
0:08:42 – (Steve Gray): And we’ve been trying to figure out.
0:08:44 – (Kathy Gray): Who this guy is, but he was in my lineage and he was, you know, when the Methodist circuit riders were bringing the gospel in America West. Well, one of my ancestors was unknown, but a Moffatt. And he rode that circuit like he had a 200 to 500 mile circuit where he would.
0:09:05 – (Steve Gray): I wanted you to explain what a circuit rider is.
0:09:07 – (Kathy Gray): Ride on horseback, you know, ministering to people. He had little congregations all around. And he died young of pneumonia.
0:09:15 – (Steve Gray): I remember. I know that.
0:09:16 – (Kathy Gray): You know, riding in all the weather.
0:09:18 – (Steve Gray): We should get better at that and find out who that was.
0:09:20 – (Kathy Gray): I’m trying.
0:09:21 – (Steve Gray): It’s not too hard to find out nowadays with all this stuff.
0:09:24 – (Kathy Gray): But you know what? I got one more on my mom’s side.
0:09:27 – (Steve Gray): Oh, wait, I might not know this one.
0:09:29 – (Kathy Gray): Yeah, yeah, you do. But so on my mom’s side, I’m a Sacks. And the Sacks came from Germany or Prussia. They immigrated over and Henry Sacks, I remembered his name and Henry Sacks came over and he moved over into the Atchison, Kansas area.
0:09:49 – (Steve Gray): Yes, yes, yes, I do remember, in.
0:09:50 – (Kathy Gray): The Walnut county area. And I used to go to Sacks family reunions to the Sacks farm.
0:09:56 – (Steve Gray): And for everybody, that Acheson is not too far from Kansas City.
0:10:00 – (Kathy Gray): Not too far.
0:10:01 – (Steve Gray): It’s in Kansas.
0:10:02 – (Kathy Gray): Yeah, it’s in Kansas.
0:10:03 – (Steve Gray): But Atchison, Kansas. Okay.
0:10:05 – (Kathy Gray): And so he was a strong German Lutheran. Right. And very strong. And I got some information online about him last night. He’s available. Interesting enough to find out info on him. And he was born in 1827. All right. And so then he moved there in about 1847. He married, settled down, bought farmland, which is where my Sacks family side would have every year, a Sacks family reunion. And the Sacks family cemetery is there. And you know, I didn’t appreciate all that when I was a kid.
0:10:39 – (Steve Gray): Of course you don’t.
0:10:40 – (Kathy Gray): But he helped to build. He was strong in the civic affairs of the town and the religious and he helped build two Lutheran churches in that area. And so this is back like in the 1860s and he built them. He helped to build and he was a craftsman and he helped to hand carve the pulpits and the pews. And I’m going, wow, you know, the thought of that, that he did the hands on building on the sack side and the Moffatt side, they did more the spiritual building.
0:11:15 – (Kathy Gray): Yeah, I’m blessed. I need to live up to this and go to Africa. I need to go to Africa. Or at least to Atchison.
0:11:21 – (Steve Gray): Yeah, at least to Atchison and wait, I’ll take it on my side.
0:11:26 – (Kathy Gray): Yes.
0:11:26 – (Steve Gray): Well, first I’m not going to tell the whole story of that, but my cousin Becky, I can do that on my side of the family. Probably we’re still investigating. Probably attended that Lutheran church that he built. She thinks maybe so. So she’s going back and checking.
0:11:44 – (Kathy Gray): Yes, well, we’ve been review at midnight last night. We were comparing notes and the, the building that she attended in was not built until like 18, 19. Oh, later 1950 or something. Or something.
0:11:58 – (Steve Gray): Much later.
0:11:58 – (Kathy Gray): Yeah, much later than that. So.
0:12:01 – (Steve Gray): Well, the roots of the Lutheran Church in Atchison, that’s where it went. And I’m going to save another broadcast for my story. I didn’t think I had any roots, you know, but. But I found out that I do. I had an uncle. I stood by his deathbed and he told me the story how he prayed for somebody in the family and he didn’t. And he said, now I’ve seen it myself, you’re it. But I’ll tell that story later because there’s too much here to talk about and we need to get into the generational blessings.
0:12:31 – (Kathy Gray): But I have those blessings built in now.
0:12:34 – (Steve Gray): Go ahead.
0:12:34 – (Kathy Gray): But I shared with the people on Sunday. Well, I’m really blessed in that way. But there’s many generational blessings. Things that God blesses humanity through families he did since Abraham’s family, Abraham, Isaac, and he said, and through your family, I’m going to bless every family until finally all nations, all families are blessed because he brought forth Jesus. And that’s where the, you know, the eternal and the right now blessing is.
0:13:04 – (Kathy Gray): But I told our people on Sunday, you know, a lot of our generational blessings got bottled up or sidetracked or previous generations didn’t handle them right. Didn’t, didn’t Treasure them and chose, you know, the devil side, the worldly way. And those blessings got waylaid. The blessings were there being passed down. Not every generation handled them right. But the blessings are still. It says his. His covenant endures for a thousand generations. So that the covenant of blessing, of blessing in God is passed down. And so we talked about how do we release those.
0:13:44 – (Steve Gray): I would like people to consider that because we’re kind of in this day and age, we kind of glamorize the outlaw.
0:13:53 – (Kathy Gray): Yeah, we do.
0:13:54 – (Steve Gray): And so people tell me. For instance, we taught school in Livingston County, Missouri, and it was famous for what? Jesse James. And there were people with name James everywhere. They had still to this day, who all over the county were James, you know, last name was James from Jesse James.
0:14:16 – (Kathy Gray): Taught a couple of those.
0:14:17 – (Steve Gray): James. Yeah. And I had James. Yes. So but we glamorized that because if you go across Netflix or whatever, look how many TV shows are the outlaw or vengeance or whatever.
0:14:27 – (Kathy Gray): Right, right.
0:14:28 – (Steve Gray): And so because of that, people have lost through time. Maybe they do have somebody in their life who has given them a generational blessing, but you just don’t know who they are. And for instance, you know there’s another one. What about Bat Masterson?
0:14:46 – (Kathy Gray): Wait a minute.
0:14:47 – (Steve Gray): Your life just keeps going on and on.
0:14:48 – (Kathy Gray): So he was on my mom’s side. Bat Masterson.
0:14:53 – (Steve Gray): I don’t know if people know who that is. Look him up.
0:14:55 – (Kathy Gray): Yeah, his name is bad Bat Masterson. But he was a real cowboy.
0:14:59 – (Steve Gray): And do you remember what I did? Wait, I’m waiting. What I was talking.
0:15:05 – (Kathy Gray): Wyatt Earp is on my family’s side.
0:15:08 – (Steve Gray): Well, I got nobody. Who do I get? How come you get Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson?
0:15:13 – (Kathy Gray): Brave, courageous and strong.
0:15:15 – (Steve Gray): Okay, but remember this? I looked up and found a picture of Bat Masterson.
0:15:20 – (Kathy Gray): Yes, you did.
0:15:20 – (Steve Gray): And when I found that and I brought it to you, you go, that’s just like my uncle or my grandfather. It looked like his grandpa. Or your uncle too.
0:15:28 – (Kathy Gray): And Uncle Richard.
0:15:28 – (Steve Gray): Uncle Richard.
0:15:29 – (Kathy Gray): Amazing.
0:15:30 – (Steve Gray): I’m thinking hard, boy. I’m thinking hard.
0:15:32 – (Kathy Gray): You don’t have any famous outlaws turn lawmen. You don’t have an African missionary.
0:15:38 – (Steve Gray): I’m going to find somebody.
0:15:39 – (Kathy Gray): But anyway, have a Bible translator.
0:15:41 – (Steve Gray): No, you’re pretty good. And your parents were good to you too. You got the generational blessing because they blessed you as a baby. Speaking over you from the crib till they died. They died.
0:15:56 – (Kathy Gray): And you know what? I shared this on Sunday also. The minute they retired, my dad retired at age 65. Robert Lee Moffatt and Jeanne Sacks Moffatt became missionaries.
0:16:11 – (Steve Gray): That’s true. I forgot.
0:16:12 – (Kathy Gray): And they traveled the world and they did daring things. They were over in Burma and in Thailand.
0:16:17 – (Steve Gray): Particularly Thailand and Burma.
0:16:18 – (Kathy Gray): Gunfire. The guerrillas and the rebels that are destroying in Myanmar or Burma.
0:16:26 – (Steve Gray): Yeah. And they were over 65 years old when they did that.
0:16:29 – (Kathy Gray): And they were ducking from the bullets.
0:16:31 – (Steve Gray): Well, the thing I like, too is they took their retirement and became missionaries on the retirement. So they didn’t ask for any money. They never asked for. And you know what? They also attended our church. Of course. But they never asked us for any money, did they?
0:16:44 – (Kathy Gray): No, they didn’t.
0:16:45 – (Steve Gray): Didn’t ask our church because they financed their own ministry with the retirement after working all those years. And your dad. Sales. And your mom was a school teacher. Kindergarten teacher. And they took their retirement and made more generational blessings.
0:17:00 – (Kathy Gray): That’s right.
0:17:01 – (Steve Gray): That we can grab.
0:17:02 – (Kathy Gray): Yes.
0:17:03 – (Steve Gray): And that our family can grab.
0:17:04 – (Kathy Gray): Yeah. And just keep passing it on.
0:17:07 – (Steve Gray): And our grandkids. And we have it, too.
0:17:09 – (Kathy Gray): Spiritual kids.
0:17:10 – (Steve Gray): Yeah. So here’s what I want to get to before we. Blessings go too long on me, that I love talking and people like stories. I told you that. I said people love stories. I got one story I’m going to tell later at another time. Yes. I’m going to tell it to our church.
0:17:23 – (Kathy Gray): We need to devote a whole service to that story.
0:17:27 – (Steve Gray): But now what do we tell people who are not sure because of their generations? Maybe because we glamorize the bad. They may have heard that they had a rotten uncle that was, you know, or everybody’s got somebody in their family that’s no good or something like that. Okay. So the nice thing about this and the great thing about this is, first of all, Peter said, we are a chosen generation.
0:17:54 – (Kathy Gray): Yes, we are.
0:17:55 – (Steve Gray): Paul wrote and said, if you have the faith of Abraham, you can have the blessing of Abraham.
0:18:01 – (Kathy Gray): That’s right.
0:18:02 – (Steve Gray): And so we can.
0:18:03 – (Kathy Gray): Because you’re a son.
0:18:04 – (Steve Gray): So we should. We do want a break in our brains. The idea that I am who I am because my great grandfather was a thief and my grandparents got divorced, my parents got divorced. So I guess I’m going to get divorced or I’m going to be poor or I’m in poverty or I’m stupid, whatever. And we kind of remember those things. You can erase that if you want to erase it. And if you can’t think of anything good in your generational ancestry, then you’ve got plenty in the Bible that says you can switch over.
0:18:43 – (Steve Gray): And if it were me giving advice to you, I would say do it. Just get rid of all those thoughts of, well, I’m going to be just like my mom and my grandma and they fought and bickered and my grandma and my mom always argued. So, you know, no wonder me and my daughter don’t get along. Erase, erase or whatever. Erase, erase, right. Because you are a chosen generation of blessed people. Grab hold of it by faith. Cause we talk about on this, more faith, more life, right?
0:19:17 – (Steve Gray): Grab by faith the generation that is yours through Jesus that you can now start over and you never ever, in my opinion, have to think of those past generations again. I’m like this because of them. I’m like this because of that. No, you are who you are. Start fresh, a new creation. Start over and just erase that because you have the blessing. And what I wanted to get when I started this is, I have never heard really anybody talk besides you about the generational blessing, but I’ve heard a lot about generational curses.
0:19:57 – (Steve Gray): And so my point being, if you accept by faith now your generational blessing, and you know, maybe you didn’t have one like Kathy and I don’t have one quite like hers. I got one I didn’t know about until I was an adult. But I’ll tell someday. But it doesn’t matter, right? You have a lineage. You are in the line of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob yourself. And you can be blessed. The Bible says blessed along with Abraham.
0:20:25 – (Kathy Gray): Believing Abraham, along with believing, believing Abraham.
0:20:28 – (Steve Gray): So by faith, by faith you can get a new generational blessing on you. And you know, if you’re a parent or you hope to be a parent, you’re going to get married someday, have kids. You want to know that you want to start your marriage, your life, and start right now in a relationship or friends or whatever being say, I am a blessed person in the name of Jesus. Everything is loosed. I’m starting fresh. And that’s what God wanted. And so I kind of feel like pushing generational curses too far and preaching on it. A three-day seminar on it’s a little bit unscriptural.
0:21:11 – (Kathy Gray): Yes, it is.
0:21:12 – (Steve Gray): You know, Steve, I get it, I get it.
0:21:14 – (Kathy Gray): I do too. But to me, here’s the formula we need to remember. The faith formula, blessings overcome cursings. So you know, blessings are much stronger and bigger than any cursing. So quit focusing on trying to free your life from all the mess of a curse and just jump right on over to the blessing because they will override all the effects and all the evil words or the disappointment, the divorce, the destruction, the disease of generational Curses.
0:21:50 – (Kathy Gray): You just move yourself by faith over to the generational blessing, the new royal generation. You’re the generation of the Lord. You belong to Jesus. He’s your DNA now. And start with that. Let the blessing of Jesus override and demolish.
0:22:09 – (Steve Gray): You know, last night I wanted to stay up late. You know, I stayed up late last night, probably too late, but I was working on some music and things. Good stuff. But I was down here. I actually stopped though and just thank the Lord because I had everything against me.
0:22:29 – (Kathy Gray): Yes.
0:22:31 – (Steve Gray): Our grandson just turned 15. When I was 15 and 16, everything, everything was against me. I had nothing. I had to beg for food. I didn’t know where money was going to come from. I had nobody ever help me. Not one person ever stepped in and said, let me help. My dad was gone, you know, and died. And I had to change my mind.
0:22:59 – (Kathy Gray): Yes, you did.
0:23:01 – (Steve Gray): And I am blessed.
0:23:02 – (Kathy Gray): You chose.
0:23:04 – (Steve Gray): I have a. I am blessed of God. And I could have lived on that. Everything going wrong and having nothing, but not with Jesus. And I am a blessed. Is there anything I haven’t got to do? Any place I haven’t gone? No, you. I’m sorry. I teary eyed again. You can be a blessed person. You can be a blessed person. Forget all that other stuff. Start fresh today. So I’m over the top. Oops, my face. That’s okay.
0:23:41 – (Steve Gray): I am over the top, blessed. And I’m messing up this podcast.
0:23:45 – (Kathy Gray): That’s wonderful.
0:23:45 – (Steve Gray): I just hit my microphone. Tears are going down my face. I don’t think you’re supposed to. Supposed to do this.
0:23:50 – (Kathy Gray): You’re making it a 100th.
0:23:52 – (Steve Gray): Oh yeah. I think you’re supposed to be funny and light.
0:23:55 – (Kathy Gray): Celebration. I don’t know.
0:23:57 – (Steve Gray): You’re supposed to be funny and light, all that, you know. And it’s a podcast. But anyway, I don’t know anybody, I don’t know anybody else that’s ruined their podcast. Like I just ruined this one. But I’m being sincere as I know to be. I didn’t expect to do this, to feel this way, but I am blessed beyond. And I had everything against me. Everything was against me. And I’ve got to be blessed like Abraham.
0:24:24 – (Kathy Gray): That’s right.
0:24:25 – (Steve Gray): Everything. So I just want to thank the Lord.
0:24:28 – (Kathy Gray): Thank you, Lord.
0:24:29 – (Steve Gray): But more than that, I want to encourage you. You can be blessed too. Get your faith going, change course, believe God, trust in the Lord and accept this word. Except that you can have the same blessing she got with a great generational blessing. But you can have it too, because you are a chosen generation, a new generation of new people. Everything starts new if you want it to. And I did it. And you can do it, too.
0:25:01 – (Steve Gray): Okay, I guess I’ll quit before I need to wipe my eyes. But I appreciate so much you being 100 episodes. And here. Here I go. So, anyway, thanks for being a part of this and tell your friends to watch and follow and all that kind of stuff and get to know us better as we. As we move forward in this. So just thanks for letting us just be transparent today and talk to you about more faith, more life. Till next time.
0:25:26 – (Kathy Gray): Bye.
