Practicing the Way
About this episode

Are you waiting on a dream from God? John Mark teaches about God's promises through the story of Joseph. He shows us that God's fulfillment of our deepest dreams and desires are often even better than we can imagine, giving us hope and endurance in the different, harder, and longer middle of the story.


Key Scripture Passages: Genesis 37v2 - Genesis 45v8; Philippians 4v11-13
