About this episode

This episode explores the story of Joseph and how his struggles were part of God's preparation for his future.

There's a season most of us know — where you did everything right, you followed what you believed was the right call, and somehow things still fell apart. You're not in trouble because of a bad decision. You're in trouble despite a good one. That's the season Joseph found himself in at seventeen years old: betrayed by his own brothers, sold as a slave, and later thrown in prison for something he didn't do. It's the kind of story that makes you want to shake your fist at the sky and say, "God, where are you in this?" In this message, we walk through the first half of Joseph's journey and discover that what looked like punishment was actually preparation. The 13 years Joseph spent in places he never chose turned out to be the exact path God used to position him for something none of his brothers could have imagined.
