What if forgiveness isn’t about the other person at all? Deb will share how sexual abuse can shattered your sense of safety, and how the idea of forgiveness can feel overwhelming. She will discuss how God has taught her that forgiveness isn’t about excusing the harm done, but about releasing yourself from its hold. And how Jesus’s healing power can transform pain into peace.

In this episode, we explore why we resist the truth, what it costs us, and how grace invites us to wake up. Whether you’re facing a hard conversation, a painful past, or just the quiet ways you avoid the mirror, this is an invitation to honesty, healing, a...
In this episode, we dive into Genesis 41, where Joseph goes from forgotten prisoner to Pharaoh’s right-hand man—all because of a dream.

Whether you’re in a waiting season or stepping into something new, this chapter has something powerful to say.
Betrayed by his brothers, sold into slavery, and falsely accused—Joseph’s journey in Genesis 39–40 is anything but easy. Yet, even in the darkest moments, God’s presence never leaves him. In this episode of Detours, we explore how Joseph remained faithful despite injustice, how God was working behind the scenes, and what his story teaches us about trusting God in our own seasons of trials.
Favoritism can divide families, destroy relationships, and lead to devastating consequences. In this episode of Detours, we dive into the story of Joseph and his brothers from Genesis 37; a powerful example of how favoritism fueled jealousy, betrayal, and suffering. Why did Jacob’s preference for Joseph create such deep resentment? How did God ultimately use this painful situation for good? Join us as we explore the dangers of favo...
