About this episode

Pastor Heath Lambert discusses how one can succeed through suffering with God's presence, using the story of Joseph as a reference.

Even when everything works against you—your circumstances, your relationships, your reputation—God is still with you. In this message from Genesis 39, Pastor Heath Lambert shows how Joseph was enslaved, falsely accused, and imprisoned, yet succeeded because "the Lord was with Joseph." But here's the incredible promise: you can have more of God than Joseph had. When you trust Jesus, the Holy Spirit doesn't just come upon you—he dwells in you forever, making your heart his home. No matter what this world throws at you, you can succeed through suffering with God living inside you.
