The Aetherlight Episode 3 Family Planنموونە

Under the surface

Are you the sort of person who likes to know how things work, or are you content to let the insides of your car or cellphone remain a mystery, so long as they keep functioning?

Something to think about while you are reading today’s passage:

Throughout the Bible, sometimes God works in the foreground and sometimes in the background. Joseph's story is one where God chooses a different way of communicating His presence from how He did to previous generations. How might Reuben, Jacob (and, for that matter, Joseph!) be feeling about that in a moment like this? How do you feel when things go wrong and God seems conspicuously absent?

Something to talk about with players of The Aetherlight:

In the Aetherlight, Jefferson's first order of business when he gets out of the hole is to repair what's run down in his absence. You could talk with players about persistence in the face of adversity, and where God might be present in moments when things don't go as planned.
