We are all in the midst of our own journey through life and some days that journey may seem longer than other days. We, like Joseph, might have times when we feel like life is so unforgiving and we just keep getting beaten into the ground. Sometimes life seems like it is turning out so differently than we had hoped or expected. In those days, and in all days, our hope is in Jesus Christ. In this "Come, Follow Me" episode, we’ll learn more about how to find hope in Christ by studying the life and struggles of Joseph. We’ll learn lessons about moral discipline and sexual purity, and intentionally exercising faith in the Lord in both good times and bad.
