Summary

God is more interested in our character rather than our comfort. It may feel as if we are not living up to our expectations of what life should look like. When God calls us to follow Him, He is not calling us to a carefree life full of comfort, peace, and plenty; He is calling us to trust in Him as our good father. He calls us to align our expectations with His, allowing Him to shape our character day by day. For more information, visit lakepointe.church/dailydrive

0:54.5

But in the last couple of days, we've been walking through the story of a young guy named

0:57.8

Joseph, who got a vision from God, a dream about what his future was going to be like,

with sexual assault, thrown in prison, and forgotten by one of the guys he tries to help there.

1:23.5

Things weren't quite lining up with the dream he had when he was 17.

1:32.7
