Your Past Doesn't Define You. Your Present Doesn't Define You. But Who You Choose to Trust Does Define Your Future. We have all experienced a "meanwhile" in life when God is strategically laboring behind the scenes to work all things together for His good and for His glory. Sometimes a "meanwhile" can be an interminable and challenging "mean while." Such is the story of Joseph - and it might be your life story as well! Joseph was a victim: of circumstances, of family dysfunction, of slavery, of unfair accusations, and of sexual harassment. However, none of those undeserved conditions impacted the ability of Joseph to walk in his destiny. You are the "Joseph" of your own story. There are relationships, abuse, and rejection that work against you but will never determine your God-ordained destiny. No matter what you are going through and regardless of how Satan has attacked your family, your productivity, or your freedom, you can trust that God is at work behind the scenes of your life. What the enemy meant for evil, your God will certainly use for good!

What's Your Answer? Sometimes we're struck with inspiring ideas but shy away from saying yes to God. What He is asking us to do looks dangerous. It looks difficult. People will think we're crazy. It will cost us. We could fail. God often asks us to do the impossible because, for Him, all things are possible. God is calling us-calling you-into His story. He's asking you to trust that He is responsible for all the consequences of your obedience. Say Yes is the epic story of a broken man who, when rescued by God, dared to say yes. The story of how God led a group of pastors to do church, business, and missions together for the good of others. This is the story of Phoenix Roasters and what God did. Will you let their story of trust inspire you? Will you trust God with the consequences of your yes?
