This special podcast invites you to color your spiritual reflections as you listen to a passage from Isaiah 40. This passage reminds us that our lives are short but what we bring to the world is beauty and color to sustain creation. Rabbi Jason Fruithandler and Barbara Murphy invite you to enter into their reflections and express your spirit through art. You do not have to be an artist, but simply a child of God.

Episode 95: A Family Confronts its Brokenness - Genesis 42-44
In this episode we experience the brokenness of Joseph, his brothers, and Jacob as they come face to face after years of separation. In the face of starvation all the sons of Jacob save Benjamin travel to Egypt to procure food and there they come face to face with the brother they betrayed but they do not recognize him. Joseph recognizes them and throughout these chapters we share the pain and sadness of a family torn apart by betrayal, lies, cowardice, and inconsolable grief. We watch a family move from alienation to the hope of redemption and restoration. What can we learn from our relationships from this struggling family? Why has God told us this story if there is no hope for reconciliation? Can we hear ourselves in their experiences? Please join us.

Episode 94: Pharaoh's Dream - Genesis 41
In this chapter Pharaoh dreams of emaciated cows eating up healthy ones and rotted corn overcoming good corn. These dreams agitate his spirit and none of his magicians can tell him what they mean. Joseph is brought from prison and he tells Pharaoh that "God will see to Pharaoh's welfare." We see in this passage a God who cares for all of humanity. Joseph tells Pharaoh to prepare during times of abundance for a devastating famine and Pharaoh listens. In hearing the word of God and following it the world is saved. When we learn that God cares for our well being, how do we prepare?
