What do we do with the chapters of life that don’t make sense—the setback, the waiting, the suffering, or the years that seem wasted? In Genesis 41, Joseph suddenly moves from a prison cell to Pharaoh’s court. But his years in the dungeon weren’t an interruption to God’s purposes. God had been forming Joseph all along. In From Humiliation to Exaltation, Darrin Geier explores how we can trust God in our own “dungeon seasons,” even before the door opens. Joseph’s story also points us beyond Joseph to Jesus, whose suffering and exaltation assure us that God can bring life from what looks like death—and that no suffering entrusted to him is ultimately wasted.
