God is Good – Week 4 - Audio

God’s definition of goodness isn’t the absence of trouble; it’s the absolute assurance of His Presence in the middle of it. What happens when life goes sideways? In Week 4 of the God is Good series, Pastor Jay Cookingham dives into Genesis 37–40 to explore the harrowing story of Joseph. From being betrayed by his brothers and sold into slavery to being falsely accused and forgotten in an Egyptian dungeon, Joseph experienced deep, raw suffering. Drawing powerful parallels to his own journey of overcoming a childhood marked by abuse, Jay unpacks what it means when Scripture says, “The LORD was with Joseph.” Even in dark places, broken promises, and long seasons of waiting, God’s goodness isn’t defined by our circumstances—it’s defined by His relational proximity. If you are sitting in a financial dungeon, a relational wilderness, or a season of pain, this message is a gentle, direct reminder: God does not ask you to call the bad things good, but He promises never to leave you alone in them.
