🎧 Host(s): Dr. Christopher Cali, Pastor Chris Heimerle, Ashley Cali, and Robby Mckinney.

Episode Summary:

In this episode of What Did He Mean By That?,we sit down together to reflect on this past weekend’s message and wrestle out loud with what it means to follow God when life doesn’t go according to plan. Using the story of Joseph, we talk candidly about disrupted expectations, emotional shock, and the tension between grace and obedience.

Key Discussion Points:

· God Often Disrupts Before He Explains
Joseph experiences confusion and emotional shock before God brings clarity. What does faith look like in that gap?

· Obedience Does Not Require Full Understanding
Joseph obeys with limited information. How do we struggle with obedience when we don’t know the outcome?

· Turning Outward Instead of Inward
Pain and disappointment tempt us to spiral inward. Joseph models compassion and care even in uncertainty.

Takeaways:

1. God often moves before He explains.

2. Obedience rarely requires full clarity.

3. Faithfulness matters even when unseen.
