Joseph rises and falls again—this time landing in prison after doing the right thing. But even there, God is with him. In the New Testament, Jesus redefines family and tells the Parable of the Sower, challenging us to think about what kind of soil we really are.

Today’s reading includes betrayal, integrity, spiritual growth, and the quiet power of God’s presence in hard places. Plus: What does Jesus mean when He says His true family is whoever does God’s will?
