About this episode

In this episode, Pastor Jacob Howell discusses the importance of allegiance in shaping character through the story of Joseph in Genesis 37.

In Part 1 of this series, we look at Genesis 37 and the power of allegiance to shape our character. Joseph’s story reminds us that our true allegiance is revealed not by what we claim, but by where we go, what we protect, and whose voice we obey. As Joseph’s character is being built, his brothers’ jealousy and hatred begin to take root, setting the stage for everything that follows. Character builds. Hate destroys. Decide today which one you're building. Welcome to our podcast of Merge.Church in Van Buren, Arkansas, led by Pastor Jacob Howell. We desire to help everyone, everywhere discover new life in Christ by creating a warm and welcoming family home where you can feel the love and forgiveness that Jesus offers to all. Wherever you are today, we pray that you would be encouraged, challenged, and inspired to take your NEXT STEP in you relationship with Jesus.
