After putting his brothers through a test to see if they've truly changed, Joseph reveals his true identity to them and they begin to reconcile. It's a relief, but the famine that ended up bringing them together is far from over, and everyone isn't out of the woods yet. Today on Enstoried, the family of Israel moves to Egypt. Canaan is still the promised land, but God is presently working out a plan through Joseph to not only advance the promises made to Abraham about preserving his family, but to save the nations through the blessings of Israel.

Our pasts can come back to haunt us. At least, that's how Joseph's brothers must have felt when they were caught red-handed leaving Egypt for the second time. But is God really out for justice and to punish them for what they did to Joseph all those years ago? Or does he have something truly great in mind? Today on Enstoried, one final test for the sons of Israel. Taking ownership for what they did to Joseph before God will not end in their being condemned. Instead, it is the only way forward on the path that God has set them for the healing of their family and the maintaining of a promise that God made to their ancestors.

Sometimes, dreams really do come true. But if Joseph is the one telling you what your dreams mean, then they always come true (which can be a good or bad thing). Today on Enstoried, Joseph's ability to interpret dreams earns him more than freedom from prison - it makes him the second most powerful person in all of Egypt. Even though seven years of famine threaten all of the known world, God has put his wise one in a royal position for a time such as this.

Joseph son of Jacob was a young man with big dreams. He dreamed that someday he would become like a king with others bowing down before him, but he never dreamed he would end up becoming a slave and a prisoner in the meantime. Today on Enstoried, we return to the story of Joseph. His journey away from home seems to get off to a rough start, and while God is with him and blesses him in the middle of hard circumstances, it is the people that God blesses most at this point in the story that might just surprise you.

If there is one tribe from Israel that stands out later in the story of the Bible, it's Judah. The whole southern kingdom of Israel is Judah, Jesus himself is called the Lion of Judah. So Judah must have been a great guy, right? Today on Enstoried, an unflattering look at Judah, son of Jacob. He struggles with his integrity in doing right by his family, but lucky for him he's got a very brave daughter-in-law who will go to great lengths to hold Judah accountable and honor her deceased husband.

In the Gospels, Jesus says that a prophet is not welcome in his hometown. In Genesis, Joseph learns this truth all too well after he decides to share his prophetic dreams with his family. Today on Enstoried, Joseph leaves home at an early age because he's on bad terms with his brothers. Just like with his father Jacob and uncle Esau, favoritism within the family has a big part to play in the fracture, and God will play a big part in making them whole again.

Genesis, as its name implies, is a book of beginnings. Just as importantly, it is also a book of re-beginnings for humans with God. Today on Enstoried, we will see exactly that in the last of these stories that focus on the life of Jacob. His life hasn't been easy, it's not going to get easy, but for Jacob and all of us who consider him our spiritual forefather, it is a life that will always be marked by the presence of God.
