Sacred Garden: Cultivating Religious Literacy
The Bible is full of drama, beauty, and surprises—but it’s rarely told in a way that feels simple and fun. Sacred Garden changes that. Each week, I read a chapter of scripture and break it down in plain language, sharing my thoughts with warmth, humour, and zero preaching. Whether you’re religious, spiritual, or just curious about what the Bible really says, this is your place to explore, learn, and enjoy the stories that shaped the world.
Sacred Garden: Cultivating Religious Literacy
Genesis 45: Joseph Reveals Himself!
In Genesis 45, Joseph can no longer contain himself and reveals his true identity to his stunned brothers. Overwhelmed, he weeps, assuring them God sent him ahead to preserve life. He sends them back to Canaan to bring Jacob and their families to Egypt, promising Goshen for all. A powerful chapter of dramatic reunion, divine providence, and incredible forgiveness.
