Interpreting Dreams and Houses of Bread

Описание: Joseph’s time in prison seems like a footnote—until you slow down and notice what’s at the center. In Genesis 40, dreams of bread and wine, judgment and mercy, forgetfulness and hope all converge on a single plea: “Remember me.” Pastors David Buchs and Joshua Reber explore how this overlooked chapter quietly points forward to Christ, the sacraments, and the strange way God works through waiting.


Along the way, the conversation ranges from literary structure and biblical dreams to pastoral theology, Christmas preaching, and why God so often does His best work in the middle of the story.
