Episode 95: A Family Confronts its Brokenness - Genesis 42-44

In this episode we experience the brokenness of Joseph, his brothers, and Jacob as they come face to face after years of separation. In the face of starvation all the sons of Jacob save Benjamin travel to Egypt to procure food and there they come face to face with the brother they betrayed but they do not recognize him. Joseph recognizes them and throughout these chapters we share the pain and sadness of a family torn apart by betrayal, lies, cowardice, and inconsolable grief. We watch a family move from alienation to the hope of redemption and restoration. What can we learn from our relationships from this struggling family? Why has God told us this story if there is no hope for reconciliation? Can we hear ourselves in their experiences? Please join us.

Episode 92 : Led Not Into Temptation - Genesis 39

In this chapter our hero Joseph is sold into slavery to Potiphar, the chief steward to Pharaoh, and given charge of the entire household. Potiphar trusts him so completely he pays no attention to anything but the food he eats. Joseph is described as fit and handsome and becomes the target of temptations by Potiphar's wife. We see here a young man who seems to have it all: the love of God and fortune of his slave owner. He is living a good life given his circumstances. Yet all the while he must fight off the advances of this woman. Finally she accuses him of rape and Potiphar, without question, lets his fury rule his reason and throwns Joseph into jail. Doing the right thing for the right reasons doesn't always make our lives easy. Jesus said blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness. Joseph resists temptation and is cast into the darkness and even there he rises to esteem because he is with God. Remaining with God is one of the great lessons of this story and remembering there is always redemption for the faithful.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
