Surrender seems easy, until it costs you something.
In this episode of Live the Bible, we continue our journey through the life of Joseph by exploring how to let go of what you think you need in order to trust God with what He knows you need.
As Joseph’s brothers reenter the story, they’re faced with an unexpected test. Like a sudden pop quiz, God’s tests have a way of exposing who we really are.
If you’ve ever been caught off guard by circumstances that challenge your faith, this episode will help you understand what God may be doing beneath the surface.
