Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Servants & Stewards series on Joseph.

In Genesis 37, Joseph is betrayed by those who should have loved him the most. In this passage, we confront the pain of absent fathers, the poison of envy, and the cultural fractures that mirror our own families. Yet amid the injustice and loss, we discover a God who steps into our brokenness — a Father to the fatherless and the only firm foundation when everything else gives way.
