Episode Title: The Room Where You Weren't Picked

Episode Description:

In the middle of a famine so severe it bankrupted an entire nation, one family was multiplying. Genesis 47 shows Israel's family thriving in the lowest-status job, in a foreign land, among people who wouldn't even sit at the same table with them. Chad connects it to a recent gut-punch at work, being passed over for a project he spent a year preparing for and asks what it looks like to keep growing right where you're planted, even when nobody picked you for the room.

In This Episode:

• The famine that brought Egypt to its knees — and the family that grew in the middle of it
• Why shepherds were considered the lowest of the low in Egypt, and why that matters for Genesis 47:27
• Chad's story: a year spent preparing for a project, and finding out he wasn't even considered
• What it actually looks like to thrive where you're overlooked, not just where you're celebrated

Key Quote:

"Thriving isn't always about the recognition. It's about being who God made you to be, right where you're planted."
