Can time heal every wound? Not always. But God can.
In this powerful episode, Stephen Davey explores Genesis 45:16–47:12, where Joseph is finally reunited with his father Jacob. After decades of separation, pain, and silence, God brings a fractured family back together in a moment of grace.
You’ll learn how Joseph, now second in command of Egypt, doesn’t seek revenge. Instead, he arranges for his entire family to come and live in Egypt under his protection. Stephen walks through the emotional moments—from Joseph’s instructions to his brothers, to Jacob’s hesitant journey toward reconciliation, and finally, to their long-awaited embrace.
This episode also explores what true forgiveness looks like and how God often uses hardship to fulfill His promises. Joseph’s willingness to restore—not just his father, but also the brothers who betrayed him—offers a blueprint for our own relationships.
Stephen highlights how God encouraged Jacob through prayer, reminded him of His covenant, and provided abundantly through Egypt’s resources. Jacob’s hesitant faith turns to obedience, and the result is a reunion orchestrated by the sovereign hand of God.
If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s too late for healing, this episode will remind you that God specializes in reunions.
