What do you do when temptation won’t go away? What if saying no comes at a personal cost?
In this powerful episode, Stephen Davey walks through Genesis 39 to explore one of the most famous and challenging moments in Joseph’s life. Far from home, surrounded by luxury, and working for one of Egypt’s most powerful men, Joseph suddenly faces relentless temptation. But instead of giving in, he chooses integrity over indulgence; even when no one is watching.
Stephen outlines three categories of temptation—material, personal, and sensual—and shows how Joseph faced all three. Despite being young, alone, and unrecognized in a foreign land, Joseph lived as though God was right beside him. That kind of integrity wasn’t convenient. It led to false accusation, a ruined reputation, and prison.
But it also led to something more important: God’s continued presence and favor.
This episode reminds you that temptation may not disappear after one victory—and resistance may not bring immediate reward. But as Stephen explains, God’s plan is still in motion, and His presence is never removed.
Whether you’re struggling with compromise, craving recognition, or facing personal pressure, this message will help you stand firm. Saying no may not feel like a win today—but in God’s plan, it always is.
