This week’s conversation starter is about Jacob, but it’s also about us. Jacob was sold into slavery by his brothers. We may never have experienced that level of pain and rejection, but we’ve all experienced pain and rejection.

We’ve heard the story of Jacob and his coat of many colors. It’s a Broadway musical. Stan Mitchell does that thing that he does so well. He takes the story of Jacob and looks at it from an entirely different angle.

It took Jacob years to deal with what his brothers did to him so he could heal internally and forgive externally. If you’re working through that kind of pain, this is for you!
