Show Summary: When was the last time you read the story of Joseph in Genesis? Have you ever connected to the way things don’t work out for Joseph? Nicole Unice found comfort studying Joseph’s story while she was going through an unexpected season in her own life. Nicole shares with hosts, Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy Adkins, how we can observe and learn new things about God through Joseph’s life story. Join this God Hears Her conversation for a deep dive about how God works through our hardest seasons. To prepare for this episode, it may be helpful to read the story of Joseph in Genesis 37-50!
Notes and Quotes:
-
“Knowing God’s Word isn’t about knowledge, isn’t about facts, isn’t about being the person who always has the right answer—it’s a conduit to experience the love of Christ. It’s what God has given us to experience Him through.” —Nicole Unice
-
“So much of the reward from our life with Christ is the faithful ‘hanging’ with Him.” —Nicole Unice
-
“We know that people go through hard seasons. But yet our hard season is completely unexpected to us. We know it’s a part of life until it happens to us.” —Nicole Unice
-
“In any room that you enter, do you make it better by your presence? Because if Christ is in you, then that love and presence is coming. And God calls that blessed. He says that’s what blessing is. It’s coming to you and through you, and it’s experienced by others. “—Nicole Unice
-
“Testing is not so that God knows what’s in us. Testing is so we know what’s in us because God already knows.” —Nicole Unice
