This week we study Genesis 42–50 and the powerfu

This week we study Genesis 42–50 and the powerful conclusion of Joseph’s story: his reunion with and forgiveness of the brothers who once sold him into Egypt.

We see Joseph’s willingness to forgive his brothers, a powerful example of Christlike forgiveness and the healing that comes through the Savior.

Elder Neil L. Andersen taught:

“The powerful compassion of the Savior in forgiving sin and in healing the wounds caused by the sins of others is a most miraculous manifestation of the love of God.”

Joseph’s response to his brothers reflects this same compassion.

In Genesis 45:4–5 we read:

“And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you… I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.

Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves… for God did send me before you to preserve life.”

Instead of holding onto pain, Joseph chooses mercy, trusting that God had been working through even the hardest parts of his story.

This week as you study, you might think:

🤍 What does Christlike forgiveness look like in real life?
🤍 How does trusting God change the way we see past wounds?

Sometimes the hardest part of teaching the gospel

Sometimes the hardest part of teaching the gospel to teens is simply starting the conversation.

Teen Connect inside the RHH Lifted App was created to help with that.

Each week it gives you a short, real-life questions you can ask your teen that connects directly to the scripture story. Not a lesson. Just a conversation starter that helps them think about how the story relates to their own life.

🧡 You could ask it in the car.
🧡 At the dinner table.
🧡 Or whenever a quiet moment shows up.

This week’s question comes from Joseph’s story. Joseph experienced a lot of unfair things in his life, but God was still able to use those moments to shape who he became.

Teen Connect is one of several tools inside the RHH Lifted App designed to help families have natural gospel conversations at home.

⬇️ Save these questions to use when you're connecting with your teen or the teens you teach.

💬If you want to explore the Lifted Membership, comment RHH and we’ll send you a link.

Need a memorable way to teach about Joseph and his

Need a memorable way to teach about Joseph and his 11 brothers this week? This simple coat of many colors activity lets kids keep their hands busy while you talk about Joseph’s story. ✂️🧶

Just cut the coat templates from a cereal box, let kids pick their yarn, hook the yarn into a slit and then wrap. Choose color you love, make a fun pattern or if you're really ambitious you can tie bows or add beads to make it extra special.

Simple to prep.

Easy to use during class.

And it ties directly to the lesson.

💬 Comment “Joseph” and I’ll send you the free template.

P.S. Using this in a teen lesson to keep their hands busy? You can also explain how Joseph’s coat may not be as colorful 😊 (see the Monday Insights post from earlier this week).

Joseph’s story in Genesis 37–41 is full of bet

Joseph’s story in Genesis 37–41 is full of betrayal, hardship, and long waiting. But it’s also a story many mothers recognize. Joseph is thrown into a pit by his own brothers. Later he’s sold into slavery. At first it looks like everything has gone wrong.

But the scriptures slowly show something else. God is working through the very moments that seemed the hardest.

Sometimes we call those “pit moments.”

And they can become powerful conversations with your kids.

You might ask:

✨ What’s a pit moment you may be experiencing in your life?

✨ What helped you keep going?

✨ Have you ever seen God turn something painful into something meaningful?

As a mother, you can also share your own stories. The times something felt unfair or impossible, but later you could see how God was working in ways you didn’t understand yet.

Most moms don't have time for long scripture lessons. Life is busy. Kids are loud. The day moves fast. But when you know the story, suddenly those everyday moments become teaching moments. Dinner table conversations. Car rides. Bedtime talks.

That’s one reason the RHH Lifted App exists. This video is a portion of this week's 1-2-3 video. Each week the 1-2-3 video walks you through the scripture story in about 10 minutes so it’s on your heart and ready for real life moments with your kids. 🌿

Because when the scriptures start making sense, they start changing your home.
