The Bible Study podcast, Episode 18, Joseph's Dreams come true.

Welcome to the Bible study podcast. I'm your host, Chris Christensen.

In the last episode of the Bible study podcast, I talked about Joseph and his amazing technical or dream coat from Genesis. And this week we'll continue on with the story of Joseph.

It probably seemed like too long in between, what with me losing my voice and all, but not as long as it seemed like for Joseph.

And we pick up this story in Genesis chapter 40.

Some time later, the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt defended their master, the king of Egypt.
