Joseph in Egypt (Genesis 37–41): 7 Principles for Trusting Jesus Christ Through Trials | Walking with the Savior

In this episode of Walking with the Savior Podcast, John Merrill Kirkman teaches from Genesis 37–41 about Joseph in Egypt—his journey from pit to slavery to prison to palace—and shares seven principles showing how Jehovah (Jesus Christ) is with us in hardship. He connects Joseph’s story to a recent interview with CS Wilson, who was falsely accused and imprisoned for 17 years, and invites listeners to hear that “modern-day Joseph” episode. The principles include: God’s presence even when life feels unfair, choosing integrity over comfort, delays as preparation, gifts making room for opportunity, betrayal becoming purpose, trials developing leadership before titles, and adversity refining faith rather than ruining it. He emphasizes trusting Christ over outcomes and ends with thematic hashtags and encouragement to follow and share.
