You Didn't Ask For This. And God Was Already in It.
You didn't get a vote. The betrayal happened. The false accusation stuck. The delay stretched longer than you thought you could hold. And life just kept moving — like nothing happened, like you weren't sitting in the pit with no way out and no voice to say anything about it.
Plot Twist walks through the story of Joseph across five weeks — from the moment his brothers stripped his coat and threw him in a pit, to the moment he sat across the table from the same men with the power to destroy them and chose something different instead. Each week names a door most people walk through completely alone. The wound you didn't deserve. The injustice of doing everything right and still paying for it. The quiet slow burn of being forgotten by someone you helped. The moment the power finally lands in your hands.
And underneath all of it — one thread. One sentence. It doesn't get spoken out loud until Week 5, because you have to live the whole story before it lands the way it's supposed to.
A sermon series from Jesus Church Goshen — a church in Goshen, Indiana.

FAQ:
Do I need to know the Bible to follow this?
No. Each week opens with the scene — you'll know exactly what's happening and why it matters. No background required.
What if I'm not sure I believe in God?
Start anyway. The story of Joseph doesn't ask you to have it figured out before you show up. It just asks you to watch what happens.
What if I'm dealing with something I didn't ask for right now?
Then this was made for you. Start with Week 1 and stay through Week 5. The payoff doesn't land until the end — and it's worth the wait.
Where do I start?
Week 1 — I Didn't Ask For This. This series is one arc across five weeks. Watch it in order if you can.
