S1 E34: God Was With Him
from Covenants and Kingdoms Hosted by Nathan Parvin and Brad Haynes
Nathan and Brad return to Genesis 39 for one of the most powerful tests of integrity in all of Scripture. Joseph, now overseer of Potiphar’s entire household, faces relentless temptation from his master’s wife. His response is unwavering: “How then can I do this great wickedness and sin against God?” The hosts unpack Joseph’s daily refusal, his garmentless flight, the false accusation, and his imprisonment. Yet through it all, the narrator repeats the key refrain four times: “The Lord was with Joseph.” Even in the house of an Egyptian official and later in prison, God’s presence, favor, and blessing remain. This episode explores covenant faithfulness in enemy territory, the suffering of the righteous, the powerful “garment motif,” and how God sovereignly uses descent for future ascent. Joseph’s story becomes a profound model for believers facing temptation, false accusation, and hidden seasons: God is still with us. If you’ve ever been misunderstood, falsely accused, or felt forgotten in a difficult place, this chapter (and episode) will encourage you deeply.
