This week Pastor David Buchs and Pastor Joshua Reber finish Genesis with Joseph’s final words, Jacob’s burial, and one of Scripture’s clearest statements of providence: “You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good.” Along the way, they answer listener questions about salvation, funerals, cremation, proclaiming Christ in grief, and why Genesis still shapes how Christians think about Israel, death, and the promises of God.

From Joseph’s bones to modern funeral culture, from Galatians to Hebrews, this episode traces how Genesis 50 points beyond Egypt, beyond Canaan, and ultimately toward Christ, resurrection, and the new creation. Warm pastoral reflection mixes with sharp theological distinctions—and a little Rocky, Nacho Libre, and weighted pull-up talk along the way.
