Joseph had every reason to stay angry. His brother

Joseph had every reason to stay angry. His brothers betrayed him, sold him, and left him behind for years. But when he finally stood in front of them again, Joseph made a different choice.

Forgiveness.

This week’s lesson has such a powerful moment of change in Joseph’s family, and this simple object lesson helps kids feel what that kind of forgiveness looks like.

Using a backpack and a few heavy items, kids see how holding on to hurt can feel heavy and how forgiveness through Jesus Christ can lift that weight.

It’s simple, meaningful, and only takes a few minutes so it’s perfect for your family or your class.

💬 Comment Week 12 and I’ll send you this quick lesson idea.

This lesson comes from the tools inside the Lifted Membership, where the Weekly 1-2-3 Video and study resources help you bring scripture stories into real gospel conversations with your kids and teens.

After everything with Joseph, Judah, and Benjamin

After everything with Joseph, Judah, and Benjamin this week…it’s a lot to take in.

Joseph testing his brothers.
Judah stepping forward.
Everything pointing to the Savior.

💬 I’d love to know — have these kinds of insights been helpful for you each week? I want to make sure I’m doing things that enhance or help you in your study.

There’s so much here and it can feel like a lot to actually teach and apply in real life.

That’s why inside the Lifted Membership, we give you tools that simplify it:

✨The 1-2-3 Video helps you quickly step into the scripture story for the week so you can understand what’s happening and bring it into natural gospel conversations with your kids and teens. If this is all you have time for, it’s enough.

From there, just pick one tool to bring it to life in your family.

✨Then, when you want to go deeper (and actually have the time for it 😅), the Verse-by-Verse Study Guide walks through the chapters with historical context, quotes from apostles, and links to additional resources that help you really dig in. (It’s also where insights like the post come from.)

You can read it on your phone or tablet, or print it if you like taking notes while you study.

Both are included in the Lifted Membership. (You can always comment “RHH” if you’d like to learn more.)

📖 Come, Follow Me | Mar 16–Mar 22
✨ Genesis 42–50 ✨

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.
