In this episode of Being Human, host Steve Cuss and monthly guest Clarissa Moll from The Bulletin explore how family-of-origin dynamics shape individuals' relationships with themselves, others, and God. Drawing on family systems theory, they discuss how families function as interconnected systems where dysfunction is shared rather than isolated. They introduce the genogram as a tool for mapping generational patterns, values, and beliefs. Emphasizing curiosity and kindness over blame, they encourage listeners to examine inherited "family propaganda" and discern how it aligns—or conflicts—with their Christian faith.Episode Resources: Genograms in Practice Explainer (pdf) Pete Scazzero’s Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Biography of Murray Bowen  Family Systems Theory’s Eight ConceptsScripture referenced: Genesis 28 (ESV) Luke 24 (ESV) Exodus Jeremiah Genesis 25–27 (ESV)More From Clarissa Moll: Clarissa Moll’s The Bulletin podcast Explore Clarissa Moll’s website Read Clarissa Moll’s substackSign up for Steve’s Newsletter & Podcast Reminders:Capable Life NewsletterGet the Communication Styles Guide:https://capablelife.com/pages/podcastJoin Steve at an Upcoming Intensive: Capable Life IntensivesLearn more about your ad choices.
