Summary

In this episode of Don’t Miss This, Dave Butler and Grace Freeman study Genesis 37–41 and step into the story of Joseph, a story that moves from the pit, to the palace, to the prison, and reminds us that God is present in every season. What begins with favoritism, jealousy, and a coat of many colors quickly turns into betrayal and a seemingly empty pit. Yet over and over again, scripture repeats the same steady promise: the Lord was with Joseph. In slavery, in false accusation, in forgotten years in prison, God was still writing the story, preparing, positioning, and prospering him in ways Joseph could not yet see. This episode invites us to consider our own pits and prisons and ask where the Lord might already be at work. Because the promise was never that we would avoid hard seasons, but that He would be with us through them, redeeming the story in His time.
