Description

Why does God allow things in our lives to go off script? This week on The Breakdown Podcast, Matthew Rhoads sat down with Pastor James to break down his message "What If You're Reading the Story Wrong?" rooted in Genesis 42, Psalm 121:1–2, and Hebrews 12:2. They talk about the story we often create in the middle of crisis—and how the chapter we call a setback may actually be part of how God moves us forward. Looking at Joseph's brothers returning to Egypt and Jacob's fear of sending Benjamin, we unpack how fear, uncertainty, and pain can distort the way we see what God is doing. But even when life feels off script, God may still be writing a greater story than we can see in the moment. If you've been struggling to understand a difficult season or questioning why God allowed things to unfold the way they did, this conversation will help you shift your perspective and trust that God is still at work.

The Trophy Lied To You

Remember that trophy in that one box in the attic? What was it for? Do you remember? In "The Trophy Lied To You," Pastor James encourages us to consider not giving our lives to things that someone will one day say, "What was this all about?" We want our lives to count, to ache for something more, and Jesus demonstrates in John 13 that love is the decision to move towards people, not merely an emotion.

The Breakdown | Where Is the Good Part?

Where is the good part when life doesn't make sense? This week on The Breakdown Podcast, Matthew Rhoads sat down with Pastor James to break down his message "Where Is the Good Part?" rooted in Genesis 50:15–25 and supported by passages including Romans 8:28, Psalm 27:13, and Philippians 1:6. Looking at the final chapter of Joseph's story, they talk about what it means to trust that God is good—even before the story feels good. Together, they unpack how God's goodness changes the way we view our past, present, and future. Joseph's life reminds us that pain, setbacks, and unanswered questions are not the end of the story. God is still working, still leading, and still accomplishing His purposes. If you've been struggling to see God's goodness in a difficult season, this conversation will encourage you to trust that He is at work—even when you can't yet see the good part.

Where Is the Good Part?

Where is the good part when life doesn't make sense? In "Where is the good part?", Pastor James shows us how Joseph's story ends with a powerful reminder: God is good before the story feels good. In Genesis 50, we discover how trusting God's goodness changes the way we see our past, our present, and our future. Everyone helping someone take steps to follow Christ.

The Breakdown | Who Told You That Was Your Title?

Who are you allowing to title your story? This week on The Breakdown Podcast, Matthew Rhoads sat down with Pastor James to break down his message "Who Told You That Was Your Title?" rooted in Genesis 45:1–13 and 2 Corinthians 1:3–4. They talk about how Joseph could have defined himself by what happened to him—rejected, forgotten, or betrayed—but instead chose to see God's hand at work through the pain. Together, they unpack how past wounds, failures, and labels can shape the way we see ourselves, and why God's perspective is greater than the titles others place on us. What if the hardest chapters of your story are not your identity, but part of how God is preparing you to help others? If you've been carrying a label that God never gave you, this conversation will help you see your story through the lens of His faithfulness and purpose.
