Joseph, Episode 1: When People Don't Get You
Joseph's family turns on him when God gives him a dream they are not ready to hear, and the dream still stands.
For Parents
If your child has ever come home feeling laughed off by a sibling or a friend for something that mattered to them, this episode meets them right there. We walk through the start of Joseph's story, a seventeen-year-old whose own family resented the dream God gave him, and we anchor it in who God says he is rather than what people said about him. At home, you can ask your child about one thing they feel God might be doing in them, and just listen without fixing it.
The One Thing for the Ride
“Sometimes the people closest to you won't understand what God is doing in your life. Stay rooted in who God says you are.”
Scripture
Genesis 37:5
CSB
