Genesis 41 (ESV, click here to read)

Description:
In this week's episode, Matt and Eric discuss Genesis 41. Joseph has spent the last 13 years, waiting for God to manifest the dream He had given to Joseph. Joseph is able to integrate his story, and also not show up with any expectations or presumptions of the future. His life is marked by presence. How do we "read" our current state in life? What would we title this chapter of our life? Why do we try to control the future, and how do we stay grounded in the present?

Genesis 40

Description:
In this week's episode, Matt and Eric discuss Genesis 40 where we find the story of Joseph in prison. Joseph shows up with kindness towards his fellow prisoners, and even helps interpret dreams for them. Joseph shows us that even in the "pit", in the dark night of the soul, when we feel like we are at our bottom, when we are forgotten and overlooked, we can still show up and be present and serve others. Why do we crave being seen? Why is it so painful when we are overlooked and forgotten? How does someone show up with kindness and service when they are being forgotten and overlooked?

Genesis 39

Description:
In this week's launch of season 7, Matt and Eric discuss Genesis 39 where we find the story of Joseph and Potiphar's wife. Joseph's story goes from bad to worse. What should someone do when their life is in crisis? How does someone stay present with themselves, others, and God in moments of conflict and relational pain? And how does someone grow and mature when living with integrity doesn't guarantee a good outcome?
