About this episode
We live in an age that is terrified of the future and resentful of the past. Our political discourse is driven by a frantic attempt to manage outcomes, to control chaos, and to build a secular utopia that is perpetually just around the corner, provided we pass one more omnibus bill. The secularist believes that man, through his own ingenuity, can solve the problems of the world. He believes in the wisdom of task forces, the power of legislation, and the omniscience of the expert class. And when it all comes crashing down, as it always does, he blames anything and everything except his own foundational premise: that man is the master of his own fate. The story of Joseph in Egypt is a direct assault on this entire worldview. God gives the dreams, God provides the interpreter, God reveals the future, and God raises up the man to manage it.
