In my church we are currently studying the story of Joseph of Egypt, for our Come Follow Christ scripture study. Here are some fun resources to go with that.

1. First, my dear friend Patti, The Rock Lady, has a video about Joseph, telling the story in rocks. Watch below.

2. Next, Patti has a printable about Joseph here. Scroll down to where it says “Make a Camel and Joseph With Rocks and Pebbles,” and go underneath the thumbnail image that matches the video above, then click on the phrase that says, “Click here for the printable.”

3. If you’ve never watched Donny Osmond in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, you are missing out! I want to watch this with my children and grandchildren, namely the ones who like singing and dancing, just to hear their comments. Too bad I discovered it after most of them had moved away. Maybe we could do a watch party remotely! Four years ago when the Church studied the Old Testament I binge watched this movie. Watch the movie in YouTube by renting here. Two of the songs from the musical are below. I just love this music! Donny does such a great job in the starring role as Joseph.

Two of my favorite Come Follow Christ YouTubers interview Donny Osmond below. I’m so excited about this!

4. Flannelboard figures for the story of Joseph are here.

5. The Veggie Tales version of the Joseph story is here.

6. For adults, these two commentaries on Joseph below by Jared Halverson, BYU professor of religion, is so insightful.

7. I love that as a Latter-day Saint Christian, I know that there’s more about Joseph than we learn about him in the Bible. I believe in the Bible, as far as it is translated correctly. I’m also grateful for additional scripture to give more enlightenment. The Book of Mormon Another Testament of Jesus Christ has a section where Father Lehi quotes Joseph of Egypt prophesying. He says that Joseph of Egypt prophesied of a descendant who will become a seer and will bring the word of God to Joseph of Egypt’s seed. He also said that this descendant would be named Joseph, and be named after his father. This is Joseph Smith, the latter-day prophet who restored the original church of Jesus Christ in the latter days.

As it says on this page here:

“Did you know that another prophet named Joseph, who lived anciently, foresaw Joseph Smith’s mission? Read 2 Nephi 3:6–15 to learn what Joseph of Egypt prophesied about Joseph Smith and his important work.”

8. Here’s another interesting commentary on the Joseph of Egypt story, involving an LDS/BYU professor of religion discussing Joseph with a pastor from a different religion.

9. Then here’s what the Pickerings have to say about Joseph of Egypt. I always love their insights because they usually talk about chiasmus, Hebrew pictograms and other patterns.

The first video is from four years ago.

Then this video below just got released.

10. Below is what Cleon Skousen says about the Joseph story.

11. An apostle of Jesus Christ, Dieter F. Uchtdorf, shares his thoughts about Joseph of Egypt below.

12. If you want to go deep into the story of Joseph, watch below, courtesy of Robin Young, from the Sisters of Liberty.

I just love Joseph’s story because it shows how bad things happen to good people, the power of forgiveness, and how God turns sad bad things to good things when we put our trust in God.
