I don’t look sick, do I? The year was 2002, right before the health crash that landed me in bed for six months. Between 1997 – 2005, I endured a lot of medical testing.

Are Potiphar and POTIPHERA the same person? You might say, “Of course not!” But some scholars say Joseph’s Egyptian master–Potiphar–and his eventual father-in-law–POTIPHERA–might have been the same person.

Have you ever considered all the ways Jacob’s favorite son, Joseph, was a foreshadowing of God’s Only Begotten?
