The Last Chapter, The Same Heart

Episode Title: The Last Chapter, The Same Heart

Episode Description:

Jacob is dead. His sons are terrified of what comes next. And in one raw, unscripted episode, Chad closes out the entire book of Genesis with the question that's been underneath it the whole time not "what did you do," but "what does your heart say?" Joseph's answer to the brothers who sold him into slavery might be the hardest thing you hear all week.

In This Episode:

  • Genesis 50 opens with Joseph's grief, falling on his father's body, weeping, kissing him goodbye
  • The extraordinary honor Egypt gave Jacob in burial, and why it matters
  • The brothers' fear once Jacob is gone and what that fear reveals
  • Joseph's response to the men who wronged him most: "You meant evil... but God meant it for good"
  • Why Genesis, from start to finish, keeps coming back to one thing, the heart
  • A challenge to look at your own heart and ask if God could say the same over you
  • Delivered raw and unscripted, Chad steps outside the usual format for this one

Key Quote:

"But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive." — Genesis 50:20 (NKJV)

About the Podcast

Leaving the Kid's Table
Do you remember the “kid’s table” when at family holidays or dinners? I do and that is right where I feel I am at, still, in my walk with God. Some look at it as being “ankle deep” in our walk. Either way, I am at a point where I am tired of being in this state. Every Monday at 6 am I will release short episodes where I am going to share what stood out to me in my time with God. At the end of the day it comes down to where scripture meets your story. You may be in the same spot as I am or you are sitting at the adult table or may need to join the kids table. Either option is ok, these episodes are to start the conversation as to “what stands out to you?” and not only grow myself but help others grow as well. "Here's the thing - leaving the kid's table isn't a one-time decision. It's a daily choice. And every day you choose to go deeper, I'll be right here with you."
