I think it's better to understand the problem of inheritance as a second generation dilemma.

So the problem is that the first generation is oftentimes the one where through necessity,

through hardship, you've accomplished a great deal of stability or success as a family.

And now your children are growing up in a much more stable environment

where they're not experiencing the kind of adversity that you experienced in as a

first-generation either believer or a first-generation person who is really

trying to build a very functional family Hi Hi, welcome to the Family Teams podcast.

Our goal here is to help your family become a multi-generational team on mission

Your hosts are Jeremy Pryor and Jefferson Bethke, and we can't wait to chat about all things family.

I would say, just evangelical Christians that there's actually something negative about about this

you know about passing something like that on that it does something to the second generation

that's not positive and I would say that there's at least a couple of places that comes from

that I think are really important to to dive into right one is just the New Testament's teaching

about money and the trap of wealth.
