As we grow in our faith in Jesus, it is a journey that lasts a lifetime and involves difficulties. This story series looks at how Joseph’s faith matures during his life. We begin with the stories of his family to set the context of Joseph’s life. Then we look at how the difficulties of Joseph’s life influenced his relationship with God. God used what we may consider bad things in life to prepare Joseph for God’s call. We can use Joseph as a mentor for our faith journeys.
