About this episode
We live in a world that desperately wants God to be tame. Our modern sensibilities prefer a God who is predictable, manageable, and above all, reasonable according to our standards. We want a God who runs the universe like a well-oiled machine, with no sudden jolts, no confusing turns, and certainly no events that make our hearts sink. But the God of Scripture is not the tame lion of our imaginations. He is the sovereign Lord of history, and His ways are not our ways. He is a storyteller, and He loves a plot with twists and turns. He is a God who often writes straight with what we would call very crooked lines. For over two decades, these ten men have been living with a secret. They carry the weight of a monstrous sin, the betrayal and sale of their own brother into slavery.
