"Overcoming Adversity; Insights Into the Life of Joseph is a 12-week men's Bible study in the ""Men of Purpose Series"" that follows the life of Joseph as he overcomes adversity to become more than he ever imagined. The Men of Purpose Series looks at men in the Bible who are poignant examples of Godly masculinity. Each of these leaders faced trials, frustration and failure, yet was inspired by God to achieve great goals. In a world where Christian male role models seem increasingly rare, this series reminds us that some of the most worthy examples of godly character can be found in the biblical figures who brought power, wisdom, and inspiration to God's people. Abused and sold into slavery by his brothers, Joseph could have lived a life filled with bitterness and hate. Instead he stood on his faith in God to save him, and eventually returned home in triumph to pardon those who wronged him. Disappointment can destroy a man, or placed in God's hands, turn him into more than he ever imagined."
