Journey Church with James Hilton

Why does God allow things in our lives to go off script?

This week on The Breakdown Podcast, Matthew Rhoads sat down with Pastor James to break down his message "What If You're Reading the Story Wrong?" rooted in Genesis 42, Psalm 121:1–2, and Hebrews 12:2. They talk about the story we often create in the middle of crisis—and how the chapter we call a setback may actually be part of how God moves us forward.

Looking at Joseph's brothers returning to Egypt and Jacob's fear of sending Benjamin, we unpack how fear, uncertainty, and pain can distort the way we see what God is doing. But even when life feels off script, God may still be writing a greater story than we can see in the moment.

If you've been struggling to understand a difficult season or questioning why God allowed things to unfold the way they did, this conversation will help you shift your perspective and trust that God is still at work.

Why does God allow for things in our life's to go off script?

In "What If You're Reading The Story Wrong," Pastor James talks about the story we create in the middle of crisis, when things go off script, is often the wrong one. Through the story of Joseph's brother returning to Egypt and Jacob's hesitancy to send his youngest son, Benjamin, Genesis 42 provides insight on the idea that the chapter of life we call a crisis may be used to move forward in ways you never had anticipated.

What do you do when life goes completely off script?

This week on The Breakdown Podcast, Matthew Rhoads sat down with Pastor James to break down his message "You Don't Have to Force It," rooted in Genesis 40:23 and Genesis 41:1–43. They talk about Joseph's waiting season, what it looks like to trust God when nothing seems to be changing, and how God can shift the story in a single moment.

Together, They unpack the tension between striving and surrender, why delays don't mean God has forgotten you, and how forcing what only God can do often leads to frustration instead of freedom.

If you've been tempted to take control, rush the process, or make something happen on your own, this conversation will remind you that when God is in it, you don't have to force it.

Have you ever felt forgotten by God?

This week on The Breakdownt, Pastor James sat down to break down Pastor Jadner's message "You Feel Forgotten...But What if You're Not?" rooted in Genesis 39:19–23 and Genesis 40:1–23. We walk through Joseph's story and what it looks like to trust God when life feels stuck, delayed, or overlooked. We talk about how setbacks, silence, and waiting seasons don't mean God has stopped working—they may be the very place He's preparing something greater.

If you've been in a season where God feels distant or nothing seems to be moving forward, this conversation will remind you that even when you feel forgotten, God is still at work behind the scenes.
