About this episode

Zach Rippey and PJ Vescovi discuss the strategic elements in Joseph's story and how they apply to modern business and ministry.

Joseph wasn’t promoted for a gift… it was strategy. Zach Rippey and PJ Vescovi unpack one of the most overlooked lessons in the story of Joseph.

PJ shares how God uses believers under secular leadership, why self-promotion often gets refined out of us in the “pit seasons,” and how the way you see God will determine how you steward what He puts in your hands.
