About this Episode

Faith and Flaws Genesis 38–39:1-6 is the topic that will be discussed today on RIOT Podcast, a Christian Discipleship Podcast.


What lessons can we learn from Judah and Joseph about obedience, integrity, and trusting God?

Today, we continue our journey through ???????, uncovering powerful truths about ?????, ???????, ??? ???’? ??????????. We’ll explore ??????? ?? and the first part of ??????? ??, two chapters that contrast the lives of Judah and Joseph in profound ways.

??????? ?????????:
? ??????? ?? – At first glance, this chapter seems like a detour from Joseph’s story, but it plays a crucial role in God’s redemptive plan. We explore how Judah’s choices led to deception, loss, and eventually, the surprising inclusion of Tamar’s son, Perez, in Jesus’ genealogy (Matthew 1:3). Without this chapter, we wouldn’t understand how the line of David—and ultimately, Jesus—came to be!

? ??????? ??:?-? – Meanwhile, Joseph’s story continues in Egypt, where he faces trials but remains faithful. Unlike Judah, who compromised morally, Joseph stands firm against temptation. His obedience and faithfulness lead to God’s blessing, even in a foreign land.


??? ??????? ??? ????????????:
✅ ???’? ????? ?? ?????????? – The story of Judah and Tamar reminds us that God can redeem even the messiest situations for His greater purpose. No failure is beyond His reach!

✅ ??? ???????????? ?? ????????? – We see a pattern of deception in Genesis, from Jacob’s trickery to Judah’s deception, proving that our choices have lasting effects. But even amid mistakes, God is at work.

✅ ???????????? ?? ?????? – Joseph’s story encourages us to trust God even when life is unfair. He was sold into slavery, yet he remained faithful, and God honored him.

✅ ??? ?????????? ?? ????????? ??? ????????? – Unlike Judah, who gave in to temptation, Joseph chose to honor God. His example challenges us to remain steadfast in our faith, no matter the circumstances.


? ??????? ???????! ????????????? ??????? ?????
Joseph’s story unfolds in a land of vast wealth, advanced knowledge, and idol worship. The Egyptians were master builders, astronomers, and warriors, yet their spiritual blindness stood in contrast to Joseph’s unwavering faith in the one true God. Despite being a foreigner and a slave, Joseph’s faithfulness set him apart, and he became a blessing to those around him.

? ??? ???? ???? ????? ?? ?? ??????
