Joseph Ep1 | When People Don't Get You | Episode 1 of 5 | Carpooling with Heroes of the Bible

Hey Carpool Crew!This week we're starting a five-episode journey through the life of Joseph, one of the most surprising heroes in the Bible. In Episode 1, we go back to the beginning. Joseph is seventeen, the favorite son in a complicated family, and God gives him a dream that nobody around him is ready to hear. The reaction is fast and brutal. By the end of Genesis 37, Joseph is sold by his own brothers and headed to Egypt. The dream God gave him is still alive. The people closest to him are not. For parents listening with your kids: this episode is a doorway into a real conversation about what to do when the people in your child's life don't celebrate what God is doing in them. We name the pain honestly and we anchor it in who God says they are. Today's One Thing: 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) The arc:* Episode 1: When People Don't Get You (Backstory)* Episode 2: When You're Far From Home (Slavery and Potiphar's house)* Episode 3: Faithful in the Hard Place (False accusation and prison)* Episode 4: When God Lifts You Up (Pharaoh and elevation)* Episode 5: The Forgiveness That Saves a Family (Reunion and legacy) CarpoolingiwthJesus.com Get involved with the Carpool Crew: follow @carpoolingwithjesus and tell us which Bible hero you want us to cover next.
