We all have dreams, but sometimes the journey to reaching them feels full of challenges. In the Dream to Destiny series, Pastor Tom Cogle explores the Old Testament story of Joseph, a man who had a God-given dream but didn’t fulfill his destiny until 13 years later. In that time God took Joseph through the 10 character-building tests we all must face to reach our destinies. Along the way we’ll discover why we can trust our dreams to the One who gave them to us.
