What do you do when your conscience won’t stay quiet?
In Genesis 42, Joseph’s brothers finally face the guilt they buried years ago. They had sold Joseph into slavery and lied to their father—and for 25 years, they said nothing. But now, God begins to wake up their sleeping consciences.
In this episode, Stephen Davey unpacks the story and reveals how God uses association, similar circumstances, and isolation to stir a guilty heart. Joseph—now prime minister of Egypt—confronts his brothers without revealing his identity. He mirrors their past actions, giving them a taste of their own betrayal. And for the first time, they confess their guilt out loud.
Stephen explains how conscience works—how it can be conditioned, suppressed, or renewed. You’ll learn that guilt is not your enemy. It’s a gift from God that points you to repentance and healing. You’ll also see how easily we defend ourselves, make excuses, or blame others—just like Joseph’s brothers.
If you’ve ever carried guilt, or if someone you love seems hardened by sin, this episode will give you hope. God’s grace is patient. He awakens your heart not to shame you—but to restore you.
