We continue going through Exodus and talk about how we are all stubborn like Pharaoh. We talk about how we can let go of this stubbornness and focus on Jesus. When we do this, we have deep joy and can love others better. Join me for some hope!

We continue the story of Moses, and talk about how Moses in his flesh- struggles with unbelief. We all struggle and doubt, and are not perfect- because we are human! We can do the things God is calling us to do- not because we are amazing- but because we have an amazing God! He loves us and wants us to turn to Him and do what He is calling us to do.

We start going through Exodus today. The Israelites are going through so much, but God. He understands. What are you going through? No matter what, cry out to God like the Israelites. Pray. He understands. He knows you, sees you and loves you. I hope this podcast leaves you with hope. Deep hope that comes from knowing how loved you are by God.

Today, I talk about something we all deal with, anxiety. We see how Joseph's brothers handle their fear. We go through three helpful tips to deal with anxiety in these last chapters of Genesis. God is so good, and doesn't want us to spend our lives worrying. He is with you!

In Joseph's life, God has done amazing things. Things that we would not expect. What things that are beyond our expectations has God done in our lives? We follow Genesis 45 and 46- and the beyond beautiful reunion of Joseph and his brothers, and his reunion with his father. We learn that we can let go and forgive from him. We learn that even when there is deep pain, God is always working.

We follow more of Joseph's amazing story in Genesis 42, 43 and 44. At times we all are triggered. The past gets brought up. When Jesus is deep in our hearts, it changes us. We take in the past differently. We still have distress, like Joseph does as he is triggered by his past. We learn from him and above all Jesus how to deal with the past. There is so much hope in- it's not fatal it is for God's glory ( John 11:4)

What are your dreams? Are they centered on you or on God? What do you do while you are waiting for the dreams God has put on your heart to come to fruition? The story of Joseph continues, as we go through Genesis 40 and 41. Join me, as we explore it and many things we can take into our heart. Joseph has a spiritual gift of interpreting dreams. What is your spiritual gift? Is it what you think it is or what God is telling you it is? There is so much good stuff in these chapters! Above all God plucked Joseph out of exile, just like He does for all of us when we accept Him and change our lives. I pray you are left with hope!

This week, we talk about what happens when jealousy spreads. Joseph's brother's jealousy has grown, and they leave their brother. He is literally in a pit, but some how God has other plans. He is sold into slavery- but through it all there is one common, God is with him. He succeeds and has faith, even with the trauma he has been through. We can learn so much from his story. We can shine our light, like Joseph. Why can we do that? Because, God is with us- even when we are in a pit.

We continue in Genesis and talk about something we all face- things that are unfair, jealousy and bitterness. What do we do when we have these feelings? In Genesis 37, we can imagine how Joseph's brothers must have felt that Joseph was the favorite. They become jealous and this affected their roots. What are we rooted in? Are we rooted in jealousy and bitterness or in God's grace? There is hope, that even if there is jealousy and bitterness- we can move on. We can pursue the goal of peace.

What things in your life feel too broken to fix? Unmendable, beyond repair. With Jacob and his father in law Laban and with his brother Esau- God puts together the broken. These brothers could have killed each other, but God says watch. I am going to reconnect them. Nothing and no one is impossible for God.
