Josh Thompson: God's Plan in the Midst of Pain

Have you ever experienced circumstances in your life that were so horrible and heartbreaking that you thought, “no good can come of this”—only to see God work through it to produce something greater? Meet Josh Thompson, Lead Pastor at Legacy City Church in Los Angeles. In this episode, Josh shares some of the trials in his life that have formed him into the person that he is today, then takes us into the life of the Biblical character he most relates to, the patriarch Joseph, in order to identify just how God can take what the enemy intends for evil and turn it around for His good.

Eternal Impact is a podcast hosted by @aaronkaiser, with pastors and individuals in Christian ministry as guests to talk through their life and which biblical character, parable, or story they most relate to. The resulting discussion is more substantial than an interview and more conversational than a sermon.
