    Witnessing Christ in the Old Testament: Joseph Pt. 2

    The Truth in Love Ministry interns—Aaron, Ethan, Noah, and Caleb—continue the Christ in the Old Testament series on the Witnessing Christ Podcast, exploring the second half of the Joseph narrative in Genesis 42–50. As Latter-day Saints study these chapters in their Come, Follow Me readings, this episode helps Christians walk alongside those discussions while pointing clearly to the biblical gospel.  In this section of Genesis, Joseph’s brothers travel to Egypt during a devastating famine, unaware that the powerful ruler they stand before is the brother they once sold into slavery. Through a series of tests, Joseph reveals his identity and ultimately offers forgiveness rather than revenge. The story builds toward a powerful reminder that God was working through every hardship—not only to preserve lives during the famine, but to preserve the promise of the Savior.  The interns examine how Joseph’s forgiveness flows from faith in God’s promise rather than from a desire for personal healing or progress. They also explore how the story ultimately centers not on Joseph as a moral example, but on God’s grace in preserving the line through which Jesus would come.  In this episode, you’ll hear:  Why Joseph chose forgiveness instead of revenge, even when he had the power to punish his brothers.The difference between biblical forgiveness and LDS ideas of forgiveness as personal progress.Why Joseph’s story is not primarily about moral example but about God’s promise.How God preserved the line of the Savior through Jacob’s family despite their sin.Why Judah—an unlikely and undeserving choice—receives the promise of the coming Messiah.How Old Testament believers lived by faith in the same promise fulfilled in Christ.Practical questions to help guide conversations with LDS friends and family about forgiveness and grace. This episode reminds listeners that the story of Joseph is ultimately about God’s faithfulness to His promise. Even through betrayal, suffering, and broken families, God was preserving the line through which Jesus would come—the Savior who pays our debt, forgives our sins, and secures the eternal inheritance promised to all who trust in Him.

    Witnessing Crist in the Old Testament: Joseph Pt.1

    The Truth in Love Ministry interns—Aaron, Ethan, and Noah—continue the Christ in the Old Testament series on the Witnessing Christ Podcast, walking through Genesis 37–41 and the beginning of Joseph’s story. As Latter-day Saints study these chapters in their Come, Follow Me readings, this episode equips Christians to use Joseph’s life to share the biblical gospel.  From sibling jealousy and betrayal to false accusation and imprisonment, Joseph’s story seems like a spiral of injustice. Yet through every twist and turn, one truth remains constant: the Lord was with Joseph. God preserves His promise—even through family dysfunction, suffering, and human sin.  The interns trace the promise of the Savior from Genesis 3 through Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, showing how Joseph’s rise to power in Egypt ultimately serves a greater purpose: preserving the line through which Christ would come. What appears to be chaos is actually divine faithfulness at work.  In this episode, you’ll hear:  How Joseph’s suffering fits into God’s larger redemptive plan.Why “choosing the right” did not immediately result in earthly blessing for Joseph.The difference between biblical suffering and LDS ideas of obedience-based blessing.Why God reveals Himself—and where He promises to do so today.How Joseph’s life points forward to Christ, who suffers unjustly to save many.Comfort for Christians who suffer without knowing “why.”Practical ways to discuss revelation, suffering, and blessing with LDS friends and family. This episode reminds listeners that God’s faithfulness is not measured by present comfort. Joseph’s imprisonment did not mean abandonment, and suffering is not proof of divine displeasure.

    The interns from Truth in Love Ministry—Aaron, Ethan, Noah, and Caleb—continue their Christ in the Old Testament series on the Witnessing Christ Podcast, walking through Genesis 18–22. As Latter-day Saints follow the Come, Follow Me reading plan, this episode helps Christians engage those same chapters and clearly see how they point to Jesus Christ.

The interns wrestle honestly with difficult passages—Lot’s hesitation, Lot’s wife, Abraham’s deception, and the testing of Isaac—while highlighting the gospel thread woven through every chapter.

    Witnessing Christ in the Old Testament: Abram's Righteousness

    The interns from Truth in Love Ministry—Caleb, Aaron, Ethan, and Noah—reunite on the Witnessing Christ Podcast to continue their series, Christ in the Old Testament, by turning to the story of Abram in Genesis chapters 12–17. As Latter-day Saints study this section of Scripture, this episode helps Christians walk alongside those readings and clearly see how God’s promises point forward to Jesus Christ.  In this episode, the interns focus on Abram before his name is changed to Abraham, highlighting God’s unilateral promises and the covenant that depends entirely on God’s action—not Abram’s obedience. They trace God’s repeated “I will” statements, showing how Abram is chosen not because of his faithfulness or righteousness, but purely by God’s grace.  Listeners are taken honestly through Abram’s failures—his fear, deception, and attempts to take God’s promises into his own hands—before arriving at one of the most important verses in the Old Testament: Genesis 15:6, where Abram believes the Lord, and God credits it to him as righteousness. From there, the conversation connects directly to the New Testament explanation in Romans 4, where Paul shows that Abram’s righteousness comes by faith alone, apart from works.  In this episode, you’ll hear:  Why God’s covenant with Abram is a one-sided promise rooted in grace.How Abram’s sins highlight God’s faithfulness, not Abram’s worthiness.What it means for righteousness to be credited, not earned.Why faith is not a work, but trust in God’s promise.How Romans 4 clarifies Genesis 15 for Christians today.Key differences between biblical Christianity and LDS teachings on covenants, faith, and works.Practical questions to help point LDS friends and family to Christ in this section of Genesis. This episode reminds listeners that salvation has always been God’s work. Just as Abram was declared righteous by believing God’s promise, Christians today are declared righteous through faith in Jesus Christ—the promised Seed through whom all nations are blessed.

    Witnessing Christ in the Old Testament: Noah and the Flood

    The interns from Truth in Love Ministry—Caleb and Noah—continue the Christ in the Old Testament series on the Witnessing Christ Podcast by turning to one of the most well-known stories in Scripture: Noah and the Flood.

In this episode, Caleb and Noah explore Genesis 6–9, addressing humanity’s deep corruption, God’s righteous judgment, and His merciful preservation of a remnant. They carefully unpack why Noah is described as “righteous” and “blameless,” showing from Scripture that Noah was not saved because of his obedience, but because of his faith in God’s promise.
