| 0:00.0 | Everybody, what is going on? You know what time it is. You're listening to join the Journey podcast with your host, Emma, daughter. |
| 0:08.8 | Thanks for joining. I am in the podcast studio with today's Devo writer, Mr. T.J. Detweiler. |
| 0:15.6 | Good morning, team Jesus. Good morning, Emma. I love that y'all are having me here. This is such an awesome opportunity. |
| 0:21.0 | Oh, I'm so glad you're here. We are wrapping up the book of Genesis. Genesis 50, if you've been tracking along daily, congratulations. You've made it. If you're a little behind and you're listening to this episode weeks later, that's great. We're still glad you're here. You did it. We're in Genesis 50, |
| 0:38.0 | and I know you came prepared, T.J., with two big observations. Hit us with the first one. |
| 0:44.8 | Wow, big observations from Genesis 50. One of the reasons I love this chapter is it wraps up a lot |
| 0:51.8 | of Joseph's life, right? It wraps up a lot of what's been going on with the Pharaoh, what's been going on with |
| 0:57.5 | the brothers, what's been going on with those relationships, what's going on to establish |
| 1:02.5 | Israel as a nation. |
| 1:03.6 | There's so much happening, and this wraps a lot of it up, but it's also very personal. |
| 1:08.4 | It's not just big picture stuff, it's very personal and a lot of personal lives, |
| 1:11.6 | also very personal to us. |
| 1:13.6 | And there's this beautiful thing in chapter 50, verse 20, |
| 1:17.6 | where it says, as for you, you meant evil against me, |
| 1:20.6 | but God meant it for good, to bring it about |
| 1:23.6 | that many people should be kept alive as they are today. It's a wonderful thing. I love this, |
| 1:28.8 | and I chose this because this is so relatable to my life as well. I grew up in a house that was |
| 1:33.4 | chaotic. My dad was an alcoholic, and my dad was violently abusive. And as a result of that, my life |
| 1:40.3 | led into chaos, because often we become the things that were around. And as much as I didn't |
| 1:45.5 | like my dad, I became just like him. And you were in Chicago? In Chicago, yeah. I grew up fast life, |
| 1:52.2 | fast pace. I became an angry man. I became an alcoholic myself. From that, it led into drug |
| 1:58.2 | addiction, crime, 20 years of addiction from heroin and crystal meth and cocaine and alcohol and just chaos everywhere. |
