Joseph should have been afraid of dreams. His dreams helped land him in a dry pit to die, in a slave auction, as a servant in Potiphar's house, falsely accused, and in prison. But when a couple of his cellmates had two troubling dreams, he smiled, knowing God was going to make their dreams come to pass: and his as well. Enjoy this week's episode to hear the story.
