Raechel and Amanda are back with Kelly Minter to wrap up the last week of the SRT Genesis reading plan. They dive into the tumultuous story of Joseph, a man whose life proves suffering and blessing aren’t mutually exclusive. From his heaven-born dreams to the depths of prison, all the way to the second highest office in Egypt, God was with Joseph. Kelly and our hosts talk about the power of God to bring goodness from the most trying of circumstances and the sort of faith that would make a dying man ask that his bones be buried in a distant land.

- “There is a trying word and a delivering word, and we must bear the one till the other comes to us. How meekly Joseph endured his afflictions, and with what fortitude he looked forward to the clearing of his slandered character! It will be well if, under similar trials, we are able to imitate him and come forth from the furnace as thoroughly purified as he was, and as well prepared to bear the yet sterner ordeal of honor and power.” – C.H. Spurgeon
