Summary

In this episode of Don’t Miss This, Dave Butler and Grace Freeman continue the story of Joseph in Genesis 42–50 and watch the cliffhanger finally unfold. What once looked like betrayal, prison, and loss slowly reveals a story where God was working the whole time. As Joseph’s brothers return during the famine, the story becomes a powerful picture of Christ’s character. Through hidden mercy, undeserved generosity, and a carefully unfolding plan, Joseph’s actions begin to mirror the heart of Jesus — a Savior who sees us fully, works for our good even when we cannot see it, and offers grace far beyond what we deserve. This episode is a reminder that even when the story feels unfinished, God is still writing. And in the end, the same truth echoes through every chapter: what others may intend for harm, God can still turn into something good.

0:00.0	Hi there, welcome to Don't Miss This, a scripture study podcast with Dave Butler and Grace Freeman.
0:04.9	Each week, we point out things in the scriptures that we love and think you don't want to miss. Thanks for listening. Hi there, I'm Dave Butler. And I'm Grace Freeman. Welcome to Don't Miss This. You guys, I'm not going to say we love the Old Testament because I know I said that last week. Except for you can just tell in the tone of your voice when you said,
0:21.3	welcome to don't miss this,
0:22.2	that you cannot wait to be telling people about this chapter. I love this book. I love the, like, Old Testament is my favorite year by far. I might have to quit. Actually, New Testament I love. Yeah, that was a crazy moment to quit right before the New Testament is crazy. I know. That's true.
0:38.3	Well, maybe I just love scripture, everybody.
0:40.7	And that's our goal for hopefully that you do too, that you fall in love with scripture.
0:44.7	Most importantly, that you walk away, feeling encouraged and more hopeful.
0:49.9	This is God's story.
0:51.4	And we see, especially in these last couple weeks that we're in, that he meets people
0:58.0	just as they are.
0:59.7	And their lives can be messy.
1:01.3	And they can be unexpected.
1:03.8	And everything seems to work out.
1:05.8	And that's what today is.
1:07.0	Today is another one of those lessons.
1:08.5	And I actually like that we ended on a cliffhanger last
1:12.9	time, you know? I mean, it was a little, no one likes a cliffhanger, right? Clifangers used to be
1:19.0	really bad, by the way. Now I feel like I'm a grandpa talking to a grandchild right now or something
1:25.3	like that. But really, we had to wait week after week for
1:29.3	TV shows when I was growing up. I had to wait for that. When I was growing up, you waited for new
1:34.6	seasons. All right. It's different. So no one really loves a cliffhanger, but I love, I do love
1:41.7	that last time ended in a cliffhanger because it was the middle of the
