Live the Bible with Wayne Stiles

Have you ever felt forgotten by God?

You’re not alone.

You’re so ready to use your talents for the Lord, to be a success and see your dreams come true—if only God would show up. If anyone in the Bible understood that feeling, it’s Joseph!

In this episode of Live the Bible, we’re picking up his story in Genesis to learn what to do when it feels like God has forgotten us.

It’s easy to compare ourselves to others.

We all do it. But comparison only produces two responses: envy or pride. Neither honors God—yet, comparison seems unavoidable.

What can we do?

We’ll find out in this episode of Live the Bible as we turn to Genesis to see Joseph’s brothers face the test they failed the first time: jealousy.

Have you noticed how God’s tests are always pop quizzes?

That’s because they’re designed to reveal who we are, not what we know. In this episode of Live the Bible, we’re turning to Genesis where we’ll see Jacob face one of God’s most challenging tests: surrender.

It’s a powerful lesson in why God asks us to trust Him—and why we can.

Unmet expectations, betrayal, and abuse can color our perceptions like little else.

But what if I told you there’s one perspective that could change everything?

In this episode of Live the Bible, we’re continuing Joseph’s story in Genesis where we’ll discover what that perspective is. It really can—and does!—change everything when you apply it.

It has changed my life, and I know it can encourage you as well.

We all know change is hard.

Truthfully, though, we welcome change that WE initiate or can anticipate. But God uses surprising change that HE initiates to help us grow and bring about His sovereign plans.

In this episode of Live the Bible, we’re back in Genesis to see the next chapter in Joseph’s life of surprising twists—and to discover the comfort God has for us when we’re afraid to follow Him.

Okay, so I'll admit it.

When you reach a certain age, your eyes start changing so that either reading up close or seeing things from a distance become challenging. (I can read up close but far off is a total blur.)

Progressive lenses can help. But honestly? They take some getting used to!

Life is a lot like this either/or perspective. We need the lenses of God's Word to see both the big picture AND what's right in front of us, at the same time.

In this episode of Live the Bible, we're looking through the eyes of Joseph in Genesis 50. He had learned to see both today and eternity—and he shows us how we can do the same.

We can't change the past . . .

Or can we?

As strange as it may sound, we can change the past that will be by how we live today.

In this episode of Live the Bible, we're continuing our series in the life of Joseph, where we'll hear the final words from Joseph's father on his deathbed. These final words will help us best plan for yesterday—today.

Let’s be honest. 

If the Bible doesn’t relate to our lives, what’s the point? We need truth to live by, not just truth that’s sounds nice. That brings us to today’s episode of Live the Bible. 

What can we do when God makes zero sense? When what we read in the Scripture doesn’t compute with our own ideas of life? 

As we continue in our series on the life of Joseph in Genesis, we’ll see what to do when we don’t understand what God is doing.

God’s work in and through you isn’t hindered by your family struggles.

No matter the mistakes we or our family members make, God is in control. In this episode of Live the Bible, we’re turning to Genesis 38 to see that truth in action through the life of Joseph’s brother Judah.

It’s an encouragement for anyone who’s ever been let down by family.

The Bible doesn’t tell us everything.

Seriously! There are huge gaps in the Bible. God’s Word doesn’t tell us everything—but it does tell us everything we need to know. God works the same way in our lives, and thankfully, the Bible DOES tell us that we can trust Him, even when we don’t understand what He’s doing.

What can we do when the life God has promised us looks nothing like the life He has given us?

In this episode of Live the Bible, we’re starting a series on Joseph—a man whose story from Genesis will encourage you to trust God completely.
