Genesis 50:17

Overcoming difficult seasons can feel impossible when you’re going through them. But thankfully, God is able to do more than what we ask or imagine. In this 4-day plan, discover how God can redeem your pain and disappointment and give it purpose.

Sometimes the Old Testament can be confusing to understand, but it’s packed with stories full of applicable wisdom. In this 5-day Plan, we’ll dive into stories from the Old Testament—some more well-known than others—and find new insights that will challenge us and build our faith.

In this small group study Dr. Tony Evans uses the epic faith, life, and career of Joseph to teach that God is more interested in your development than your arrival. Like Joseph, a kidnapped and enslaved boy who grew up to save an empire, the obstacles and obstructions in your life can lead to real accomplishments. Granted, detours are anything but convenient. They take you out of the way. They are longer than you originally had planned to travel. But they are necessary. God allows detours in your life because He cares more for your character than your comfort, more for your purity than your productivity. He cares about your destiny!

Many of us are walking around, nursing wounds from the things people have said or done. We continuously struggle under the weight of that baggage because we’re unwilling or unsure how to forgive. This plan isn’t about letting someone off the hook or making others feel better. It’s for you. It’s about learning how to forgive so that you can heal, find freedom from your past, and begin living changed.
