Introduction
Joseph is one of the more famous adolescents we see in the Bible. Many people
remember Joseph from the story of the coat of many colors. He is also a well-known character in
the Bible from the story of his brother throwing him into the pit and selling him. Many people
believe Joseph to be around the age of 17 when his brother sold him to the Egyptians. Joseph had
many things that affected his life in drastic ways because of the family in which he grew up.
Joseph grew up in a messed up family, he was sold into slavery, and he was accused of a sexual
act that he did not commit. Spiritually he grew up around God-fearing people, He experienced
God through the ability to interpret dreams, and Joseph overcame temptation. God used him in
mighty ways to impact so many people, not just in his day, but he also continues to change
people’s lives.
Social Elements
Looking at Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory, Joseph was affected by the
Microsystem, He was first affected by the Microsystem by having such a large family. He came
from a family where he had twelve brothers, and his dad had multiple women. Joseph, having so
many family members, can bring out many different social elements, and this plays a significant
factor in Joseph’s development. The second ecological system that would have had an impact on
Joseph is the mesosystem. His surrounding area was pretty rural. It is a fact that Joseph would
have done some shepherding in his life. This would have influenced him because he would have
been a good protector and a gentle-spirited guy. It would have made him a responsible
adolescent. The final. The final system is the chronosystem. In the history of Joseph’s family, we
see some sins that continue. Many of Joseph’s family heritage wrestled with God and did not
1
lOMoARcPSD|61774779
trust God in all areas some of the time. Joseph could have learned from these mistakes and been
able to be proactive about not committing the same sins.
Spiritual Elements
First off, Joseph was affected morally. He was known as a very moral youth, and he was
tested many times. One of these times was by Potipher’s wife when she tried to tempt him to
sleep with her. Joseph ran from this temptation, and this helped to strengthen his morals. He most
likely developed some of these morals from seeing his dad fall into different sins with different
women. He learned from mistakes that he saw his dad make, which made him an even more
moral adolescent. Joseph was impacted spiritually in many various aspects, growing up. He came
from a line of family who, for the most part, was God fearing. His dad would have been a firm
believer which would have impacted the way he saw spiritual things. Finally, we see Joseph as a
very intellectual youth. Joseph was gifted the ability by God to interpret dreams, which made
him very smart, to begin with. Although he did not develop this skill, he used it in a mighty way,
and this God-given talent would have made him even smarter — these three things shaped how
Joseph acted and why he believed certain things.
Joseph’s Influence in the Local Community and the Kingdom
God worked through Joseph in incredible ways in both his local community and the
Kingdom of God. He could interpret dreams, and this played a big part in impacting his local
community. While in Egypt, Joseph interpreted the Pharaoh's dream and told him that a famine
was coming. This allowed Egypt to store up plenty of food so that when the famine came, they
would be well prepared and could survive. Joseph helped to further the kingdom of God in many
lOMoARcPSD|61774779
ways. He set an example of great faith and trust that we can follow. Joseph also advanced the
kingdom of God by interpreting dreams. He got to show off God's glory by telling Pharoah what
he dreamed. Then there was a God-fearing man high up in the Egyptian government. Lastly, he
helped his community out by storing up the food for years before the famine. He helped the
whole Egyptian nation and neighboring areas survive the famine. When the famine came, food
was abundant. Joseph did so much for not only for earthly people but also for the Kingdom of
God.
Conclusion
Joseph did many amazing things, although he did not grow up in the best circumstances.
He never gave up on God or even those who hurt him. Instead of complaining about his
circumstances, Joseph worked hard to overcome and do great things for God. He not only
impacted his community, but he helped to further the Kingdom of God. Joseph was a man of
great faith, and he set an example for people today to follow.

remember Joseph from the story of the coat of many colors. He is also a well-known character in
the Bible from the story of his brother throwing him into the pit and selling him. Many people
believe Joseph to be around the age of 17 when his brother sold him to the Egyptians. Joseph had
many things that affected his life in drastic ways because of the family in which he grew up.
Joseph grew up in a messed up family, he was sold into slavery, and he was accused of a sexual
act that he did not commit. Spiritually he grew up around God-fearing people, He experienced
God through the ability to interpret dreams, and Joseph overcame temptation. God used him in
mighty ways to impact so many people, not just in his day, but he also continues to change
people’s lives.
Social Elements
Looking at Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory, Joseph was affected by the
Microsystem, He was first affected by the Microsystem by having such a large family. He came
from a family where he had twelve brothers, and his dad had multiple women. Joseph, having so
lOMoARcPSD|61774779
many family members, can bring out many different social elements, and this plays a significant
factor in Joseph’s development. The second ecological system that would have had an impact on
Joseph is the mesosystem. His surrounding area was pretty rural. It is a fact that Joseph would
have done some shepherding in his life. This would have influenced him because he would have
been a good protector and a gentle-spirited guy. It would have made him a responsible
adolescent. The final. The final system is the chronosystem. In the history of Joseph’s family, we
see some sins that continue. Many of Joseph’s family heritage wrestled with God and did not
1
trust God in all areas some of the time. Joseph could have learned from these mistakes and been
able to be proactive about not committing the same sins.
Spiritual Elements
First off, Joseph was affected morally. He was known as a very moral youth, and he was
tested many times. One of these times was by Potipher’s wife when she tried to tempt him to
sleep with her. Joseph ran from this temptation, and this helped to strengthen his morals. He most
likely developed some of these morals from seeing his dad fall into different sins with different
women. He learned from mistakes that he saw his dad make, which made him an even more
moral adolescent. Joseph was impacted spiritually in many various aspects, growing up. He came
from a line of family who, for the most part, was God fearing. His dad would have been a firm
believer which would have impacted the way he saw spiritual things. Finally, we see Joseph as a
very intellectual youth. Joseph was gifted the ability by God to interpret dreams, which made
him very smart, to begin with. Although he did not develop this skill, he used it in a mighty way,
and this God-given talent would have made him even smarter — these three things shaped how
Joseph acted and why he believed certain things.

Joseph’s Influence in the Local Community and the Kingdom
God worked through Joseph in incredible ways in both his local community and the
Kingdom of God. He could interpret dreams, and this played a big part in impacting his local
community. While in Egypt, Joseph interpreted the Pharaoh's dream and told him that a famine
was coming. This allowed Egypt to store up plenty of food so that when the famine came, they
would be well prepared and could survive. Joseph helped to further the kingdom of God in many
ways. He set an example of great faith and trust that we can follow. Joseph also advanced the
kingdom of God by interpreting dreams. He got to show off God's glory by telling Pharoah what
he dreamed. Then there was a God-fearing man high up in the Egyptian government. Lastly, he
helped his community out by storing up the food for years before the famine. He helped the
whole Egyptian nation and neighboring areas survive the famine. When the famine came, food
was abundant. Joseph did so much for not only for earthly people but also for the Kingdom of
God.

Microsystem, He was first affected by the Microsystem by having such a large family. He came
from a family where he had twelve brothers, and his dad had multiple women. Joseph, having so
many family members, can bring out many different social elements, and this plays a significant
factor in Joseph’s development. The second ecological system that would have had an impact on
Joseph is the mesosystem. His surrounding area was pretty rural. It is a fact that Joseph would
have done some shepherding in his life. This would have influenced him because he would have
been a good protector and a gentle-spirited guy. It would have made him a responsible
adolescent. The final. The final system is the chronosystem. In the history of Joseph’s family, we
see some sins that continue. Many of Joseph’s family heritage wrestled with God and did not

lOMoARcPSD|61774779
trust God in all areas some of the time. Joseph could have learned from these mistakes and been
able to be proactive about not committing the same sins.
Spiritual Elements
First off, Joseph was affected morally. He was known as a very moral youth, and he was
tested many times. One of these times was by Potipher’s wife when she tried to tempt him to
sleep with her. Joseph ran from this temptation, and this helped to strengthen his morals. He most
likely developed some of these morals from seeing his dad fall into different sins with different
women. He learned from mistakes that he saw his dad make, which made him an even more
moral adolescent. Joseph was impacted spiritually in many various aspects, growing up. He came
from a line of family who, for the most part, was God fearing. His dad would have been a firm
believer which would have impacted the way he saw spiritual things. Finally, we see Joseph as a
very intellectual youth. Joseph was gifted the ability by God to interpret dreams, which made
him very smart, to begin with. Although he did not develop this skill, he used it in a mighty way,
and this God-given talent would have made him even smarter — these three things shaped how
Joseph acted and why he believed certain things.
Joseph’s Influence in the Local Community and the Kingdom
God worked through Joseph in incredible ways in both his local community and the
Kingdom of God. He could interpret dreams, and this played a big part in impacting his local
community. While in Egypt, Joseph interpreted the Pharaoh's dream and told him that a famine
was coming. This allowed Egypt to store up plenty of food so that when the famine came, they
would be well prepared and could survive. Joseph helped to further the kingdom of God in many
lOMoARcPSD|61774779
ways. He set an example of great faith and trust that we can follow. Joseph also advanced the
kingdom of God by interpreting dreams. He got to show off God's glory by telling Pharoah what
he dreamed. Then there was a God-fearing man high up in the Egyptian government. Lastly, he
helped his community out by storing up the food for years before the famine. He helped the
whole Egyptian nation and neighboring areas survive the famine. When the famine came, food
was abundant. Joseph did so much for not only for earthly people but also for the Kingdom of
God.
Joseph is one of the more famous adolescents we see in the Bible. Many people
remember Joseph from the story of the coat of many colors. He is also a well-known character in
the Bible from the story of his brother throwing him into the pit and selling him. Many people
believe Joseph to be around the age of 17 when his brother sold him to the Egyptians. Joseph had
many things that affected his life in drastic ways because of the family in which he grew up.
Joseph grew up in a messed up family, he was sold into slavery, and he was accused of a sexual
act that he did not commit. Spiritually he grew up around God-fearing people, He experienced
God through the ability to interpret dreams, and Joseph overcame temptation. God used him in
mighty ways to impact so many people, not just in his day, but he also continues to change
people’s lives.

Spiritual Elements
First off, Joseph was affected morally. He was known as a very moral youth, and he was
tested many times. One of these times was by Potipher’s wife when she tried to tempt him to
sleep with her. Joseph ran from this temptation, and this helped to strengthen his morals. He most
likely developed some of these morals from seeing his dad fall into different sins with different
women. He learned from mistakes that he saw his dad make, which made him an even more
moral adolescent. Joseph was impacted spiritually in many various aspects, growing up. He came
from a line of family who, for the most part, was God fearing. His dad would have been a firm
believer which would have impacted the way he saw spiritual things. Finally, we see Joseph as a
lOMoARcPSD|61774779
very intellectual youth. Joseph was gifted the ability by God to interpret dreams, which made
him very smart, to begin with. Although he did not develop this skill, he used it in a mighty way,
and this God-given talent would have made him even smarter — these three things shaped how
Joseph acted and why he believed certain things.
Joseph’s Influence in the Local Community and the Kingdom
God worked through Joseph in incredible ways in both his local community and the
Kingdom of God. He could interpret dreams, and this played a big part in impacting his local
community. While in Egypt, Joseph interpreted the Pharaoh's dream and told him that a famine
was coming. This allowed Egypt to store up plenty of food so that when the famine came, they
would be well prepared and could survive. Joseph helped to further the kingdom of God in many
ways. He set an example of great faith and trust that we can follow. Joseph also advanced the
kingdom of God by interpreting dreams. He got to show off God's glory by telling Pharoah what
he dreamed. Then there was a God-fearing man high up in the Egyptian government. Lastly, he
helped his community out by storing up the food for years before the famine. He helped the
whole Egyptian nation and neighboring areas survive the famine. When the famine came, food
was abundant. Joseph did so much for not only for earthly people but also for the Kingdom of
God.
Joseph is one of the more famous adolescents we see in the Bible. Many people
remember Joseph from the story of the coat of many colors. He is also a well-known character in
the Bible from the story of his brother throwing him into the pit and selling him. Many people
believe Joseph to be around the age of 17 when his brother sold him to the Egyptians. Joseph had
many things that affected his life in drastic ways because of the family in which he grew up.
lOMoARcPSD|61774779
Joseph grew up in a messed up family, he was sold into slavery, and he was accused of a sexual
act that he did not commit. Spiritually he grew up around God-fearing people, He experienced
God through the ability to interpret dreams, and Joseph overcame temptation. God used him in
mighty ways to impact so many people, not just in his day, but he also continues to change
people’s lives.
Social Elements
Looking at Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory, Joseph was affected by the
Microsystem, He was first affected by the Microsystem by having such a large family. He came
from a family where he had twelve brothers, and his dad had multiple women. Joseph, having so
many family members, can bring out many different social elements, and this plays a significant
factor in Joseph’s development. The second ecological system that would have had an impact on
Joseph is the mesosystem. His surrounding area was pretty rural. It is a fact that Joseph would
have done some shepherding in his life. This would have influenced him because he would have
been a good protector and a gentle-spirited guy. It would have made him a responsible
adolescent. The final. The final system is the chronosystem. In the history of Joseph’s family, we
see some sins that continue. Many of Joseph’s family heritage wrestled with God and did not

Joseph’s Influence in the Local Community and the Kingdom
God worked through Joseph in incredible ways in both his local community and the
Kingdom of God. He could interpret dreams, and this played a big part in impacting his local
lOMoARcPSD|61774779
community. While in Egypt, Joseph interpreted the Pharaoh's dream and told him that a famine
was coming. This allowed Egypt to store up plenty of food so that when the famine came, they
would be well prepared and could survive. Joseph helped to further the kingdom of God in many
ways. He set an example of great faith and trust that we can follow. Joseph also advanced the
kingdom of God by interpreting dreams. He got to show off God's glory by telling Pharoah what
he dreamed. Then there was a God-fearing man high up in the Egyptian government. Lastly, he
helped his community out by storing up the food for years before the famine. He helped the
whole Egyptian nation and neighboring areas survive the famine. When the famine came, food
was abundant. Joseph did so much for not only for earthly people but also for the Kingdom of
God.
Joseph is one of the more famous adolescents we see in the Bible. Many people
remember Joseph from the story of the coat of many colors. He is also a well-known character in
the Bible from the story of his brother throwing him into the pit and selling him. Many people
believe Joseph to be around the age of 17 when his brother sold him to the Egyptians. Joseph had
many things that affected his life in drastic ways because of the family in which he grew up.
Joseph grew up in a messed up family, he was sold into slavery, and he was accused of a sexual
act that he did not commit. Spiritually he grew up around God-fearing people, He experienced
God through the ability to interpret dreams, and Joseph overcame temptation. God used him in
mighty ways to impact so many people, not just in his day, but he also continues to change
people’s lives.
Social Elements
Looking at Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory, Joseph was affected by the
Microsystem, He was first affected by the Microsystem by having such a large family. He came
from a family where he had twelve brothers, and his dad had multiple women. Joseph, having so
lOMoARcPSD|61774779
many family members, can bring out many different social elements, and this plays a significant
factor in Joseph’s development. The second ecological system that would have had an impact on
Joseph is the mesosystem. His surrounding area was pretty rural. It is a fact that Joseph would
have done some shepherding in his life. This would have influenced him because he would have
been a good protector and a gentle-spirited guy. It would have made him a responsible
adolescent. The final. The final system is the chronosystem. In the history of Joseph’s family, we
see some sins that continue. Many of Joseph’s family heritage wrestled with God and did not
1
trust God in all areas some of the time. Joseph could have learned from these mistakes and been
able to be proactive about not committing the same sins.
Spiritual Elements
First off, Joseph was affected morally. He was known as a very moral youth, and he was
tested many times. One of these times was by Potipher’s wife when she tried to tempt him to
sleep with her. Joseph ran from this temptation, and this helped to strengthen his morals. He most
likely developed some of these morals from seeing his dad fall into different sins with different
women. He learned from mistakes that he saw his dad make, which made him an even more
moral adolescent. Joseph was impacted spiritually in many various aspects, growing up. He came
from a line of family who, for the most part, was God fearing. His dad would have been a firm
believer which would have impacted the way he saw spiritual things. Finally, we see Joseph as a
very intellectual youth. Joseph was gifted the ability by God to interpret dreams, which made

Joseph is one of the more famous adolescents we see in the Bible. Many people
remember Joseph from the story of the coat of many colors. He is also a well-known character in
the Bible from the story of his brother throwing him into the pit and selling him. Many people
believe Joseph to be around the age of 17 when his brother sold him to the Egyptians. Joseph had
many things that affected his life in drastic ways because of the family in which he grew up.
Joseph grew up in a messed up family, he was sold into slavery, and he was accused of a sexual
act that he did not commit. Spiritually he grew up around God-fearing people, He experienced
God through the ability to interpret dreams, and Joseph overcame temptation. God used him in
mighty ways to impact so many people, not just in his day, but he also continues to change
people’s lives.
Social Elements
Looking at Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory, Joseph was affected by the
Microsystem, He was first affected by the Microsystem by having such a large family. He came
from a family where he had twelve brothers, and his dad had multiple women. Joseph, having so
many family members, can bring out many different social elements, and this plays a significant
factor in Joseph’s development. The second ecological system that would have had an impact on
Joseph is the mesosystem. His surrounding area was pretty rural. It is a fact that Joseph would
have done some shepherding in his life. This would have influenced him because he would have
been a good protector and a gentle-spirited guy. It would have made him a responsible
adolescent. The final. The final system is the chronosystem. In the history of Joseph’s family, we
see some sins that continue. Many of Joseph’s family heritage wrestled with God and did not

lOMoARcPSD|61774779
trust God in all areas some of the time. Joseph could have learned from these mistakes and been
able to be proactive about not committing the same sins.
Spiritual Elements
First off, Joseph was affected morally. He was known as a very moral youth, and he was
tested many times. One of these times was by Potipher’s wife when she tried to tempt him to
sleep with her. Joseph ran from this temptation, and this helped to strengthen his morals. He most
likely developed some of these morals from seeing his dad fall into different sins with different
women. He learned from mistakes that he saw his dad make, which made him an even more
moral adolescent. Joseph was impacted spiritually in many various aspects, growing up. He came
from a line of family who, for the most part, was God fearing. His dad would have been a firm
believer which would have impacted the way he saw spiritual things. Finally, we see Joseph as a
very intellectual youth. Joseph was gifted the ability by God to interpret dreams, which made
him very smart, to begin with. Although he did not develop this skill, he used it in a mighty way,
and this God-given talent would have made him even smarter — these three things shaped how
Joseph acted and why he believed certain things.
Joseph’s Influence in the Local Community and the Kingdom
God worked through Joseph in incredible ways in both his local community and the
Kingdom of God. He could interpret dreams, and this played a big part in impacting his local
community. While in Egypt, Joseph interpreted the Pharaoh's dream and told him that a famine
was coming. This allowed Egypt to store up plenty of food so that when the famine came, they
would be well prepared and could survive. Joseph helped to further the kingdom of God in many

many things that affected his life in drastic ways because of the family in which he grew up.
Joseph grew up in a messed up family, he was sold into slavery, and he was accused of a sexual
act that he did not commit. Spiritually he grew up around God-fearing people, He experienced
God through the ability to interpret dreams, and Joseph overcame temptation. God used him in
mighty ways to impact so many people, not just in his day, but he also continues to change
people’s lives.

Looking at Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory, Joseph was affected by the
Microsystem, He was first affected by the Microsystem by having such a large family. He came
from a family where he had twelve brothers, and his dad had multiple women. Joseph, having so
many family members, can bring out many different social elements, and this plays a significant
factor in Joseph’s development. The second ecological system that would have had an impact on
Joseph is the mesosystem. His surrounding area was pretty rural. It is a fact that Joseph would
have done some shepherding in his life. This would have influenced him because he would have
been a good protector and a gentle-spirited guy. It would have made him a responsible
adolescent. The final. The final system is the chronosystem. In the history of Joseph’s family, we
see some sins that continue. Many of Joseph’s family heritage wrestled with God and did not

trust God in all areas some of the time. Joseph could have learned from these mistakes and been
able to be proactive about not committing the same sins.
Spiritual Elements
First off, Joseph was affected morally. He was known as a very moral youth, and he was
tested many times. One of these times was by Potipher’s wife when she tried to tempt him to
sleep with her. Joseph ran from this temptation, and this helped to strengthen his morals. He most
likely developed some of these morals from seeing his dad fall into different sins with different
women. He learned from mistakes that he saw his dad make, which made him an even more
moral adolescent. Joseph was impacted spiritually in many various aspects, growing up. He came
from a line of family who, for the most part, was God fearing. His dad would have been a firm
believer which would have impacted the way he saw spiritual things. Finally, we see Joseph as a
lOMoARcPSD|61774779
very intellectual youth. Joseph was gifted the ability by God to interpret dreams, which made
him very smart, to begin with. Although he did not develop this skill, he used it in a mighty way,
and this God-given talent would have made him even smarter — these three things shaped how
Joseph acted and why he believed certain things.
Joseph’s Influence in the Local Community and the Kingdom
God worked through Joseph in incredible ways in both his local community and the
Kingdom of God. He could interpret dreams, and this played a big part in impacting his local
community. While in Egypt, Joseph interpreted the Pharaoh's dream and told him that a famine
was coming. This allowed Egypt to store up plenty of food so that when the famine came, they
would be well prepared and could survive. Joseph helped to further the kingdom of God in many
ways. He set an example of great faith and trust that we can follow. Joseph also advanced the
kingdom of God by interpreting dreams. He got to show off God's glory by telling Pharoah what
he dreamed. Then there was a God-fearing man high up in the Egyptian government. Lastly, he
helped his community out by storing up the food for years before the famine. He helped the
whole Egyptian nation and neighboring areas survive the famine. When the famine came, food
was abundant. Joseph did so much for not only for earthly people but also for the Kingdom of
God.
Joseph is one of the more famous adolescents we see in the Bible. Many people

adolescent. The final. The final system is the chronosystem. In the history of Joseph’s family, we

Spiritual Elements
First off, Joseph was affected morally. He was known as a very moral youth, and he was
tested many times. One of these times was by Potipher’s wife when she tried to tempt him to
sleep with her. Joseph ran from this temptation, and this helped to strengthen his morals. He most
likely developed some of these morals from seeing his dad fall into different sins with different
women. He learned from mistakes that he saw his dad make, which made him an even more
moral adolescent. Joseph was impacted spiritually in many various aspects, growing up. He came
from a line of family who, for the most part, was God fearing. His dad would have been a firm
believer which would have impacted the way he saw spiritual things. Finally, we see Joseph as a
very intellectual youth. Joseph was gifted the ability by God to interpret dreams, which made
him very smart, to begin with. Although he did not develop this skill, he used it in a mighty way,
and this God-given talent would have made him even smarter — these three things shaped how
Joseph acted and why he believed certain things.
Joseph’s Influence in the Local Community and the Kingdom
God worked through Joseph in incredible ways in both his local community and the
Kingdom of God. He could interpret dreams, and this played a big part in impacting his local
lOMoARcPSD|61774779
community. While in Egypt, Joseph interpreted the Pharaoh's dream and told him that a famine
was coming. This allowed Egypt to store up plenty of food so that when the famine came, they
would be well prepared and could survive. Joseph helped to further the kingdom of God in many
ways. He set an example of great faith and trust that we can follow. Joseph also advanced the
kingdom of God by interpreting dreams. He got to show off God's glory by telling Pharoah what
he dreamed. Then there was a God-fearing man high up in the Egyptian government. Lastly, he
helped his community out by storing up the food for years before the famine. He helped the
whole Egyptian nation and neighboring areas survive the famine. When the famine came, food
was abundant. Joseph did so much for not only for earthly people but also for the Kingdom of
God.
Joseph is one of the more famous adolescents we see in the Bible. Many people
remember Joseph from the story of the coat of many colors. He is also a well-known character in
the Bible from the story of his brother throwing him into the pit and selling him. Many people
believe Joseph to be around the age of 17 when his brother sold him to the Egyptians. Joseph had
many things that affected his life in drastic ways because of the family in which he grew up.
Joseph grew up in a messed up family, he was sold into slavery, and he was accused of a sexual
act that he did not commit. Spiritually he grew up around God-fearing people, He experienced
God through the ability to interpret dreams, and Joseph overcame temptation. God used him in
mighty ways to impact so many people, not just in his day, but he also continues to change
people’s lives.

First off, Joseph was affected morally. He was known as a very moral youth, and he was
tested many times. One of these times was by Potipher’s wife when she tried to tempt him to
sleep with her. Joseph ran from this temptation, and this helped to strengthen his morals. He most
lOMoARcPSD|61774779
likely developed some of these morals from seeing his dad fall into different sins with different
women. He learned from mistakes that he saw his dad make, which made him an even more
moral adolescent. Joseph was impacted spiritually in many various aspects, growing up. He came
from a line of family who, for the most part, was God fearing. His dad would have been a firm
believer which would have impacted the way he saw spiritual things. Finally, we see Joseph as a
very intellectual youth. Joseph was gifted the ability by God to interpret dreams, which made
him very smart, to begin with. Although he did not develop this skill, he used it in a mighty way,
and this God-given talent would have made him even smarter — these three things shaped how
Joseph acted and why he believed certain things.
Joseph’s Influence in the Local Community and the Kingdom
God worked through Joseph in incredible ways in both his local community and the
Kingdom of God. He could interpret dreams, and this played a big part in impacting his local
community. While in Egypt, Joseph interpreted the Pharaoh's dream and told him that a famine
was coming. This allowed Egypt to store up plenty of food so that when the famine came, they
would be well prepared and could survive. Joseph helped to further the kingdom of God in many
ways. He set an example of great faith and trust that we can follow. Joseph also advanced the
kingdom of God by interpreting dreams. He got to show off God's glory by telling Pharoah what
he dreamed. Then there was a God-fearing man high up in the Egyptian government. Lastly, he
helped his community out by storing up the food for years before the famine. He helped the
whole Egyptian nation and neighboring areas survive the famine. When the famine came, food
was abundant. Joseph did so much for not only for earthly people but also for the Kingdom of
God.

Joseph is one of the more famous adolescents we see in the Bible. Many people
remember Joseph from the story of the coat of many colors. He is also a well-known character in
the Bible from the story of his brother throwing him into the pit and selling him. Many people
believe Joseph to be around the age of 17 when his brother sold him to the Egyptians. Joseph had
many things that affected his life in drastic ways because of the family in which he grew up.
Joseph grew up in a messed up family, he was sold into slavery, and he was accused of a sexual
act that he did not commit. Spiritually he grew up around God-fearing people, He experienced
God through the ability to interpret dreams, and Joseph overcame temptation. God used him in
mighty ways to impact so many people, not just in his day, but he also continues to change
people’s lives.
Social Elements
Looking at Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory, Joseph was affected by the
Microsystem, He was first affected by the Microsystem by having such a large family. He came
from a family where he had twelve brothers, and his dad had multiple women. Joseph, having so
many family members, can bring out many different social elements, and this plays a significant
factor in Joseph’s development. The second ecological system that would have had an impact on
Joseph is the mesosystem. His surrounding area was pretty rural. It is a fact that Joseph would
have done some shepherding in his life. This would have influenced him because he would have
been a good protector and a gentle-spirited guy. It would have made him a responsible
adolescent. The final. The final system is the chronosystem. In the history of Joseph’s family, we
see some sins that continue. Many of Joseph’s family heritage wrestled with God and did not

trust God in all areas some of the time. Joseph could have learned from these mistakes and been

and this God-given talent would have made him even smarter — these three things shaped how
Joseph acted and why he believed certain things.

Joseph’s Influence in the Local Community and the Kingdom
God worked through Joseph in incredible ways in both his local community and the
Kingdom of God. He could interpret dreams, and this played a big part in impacting his local
community. While in Egypt, Joseph interpreted the Pharaoh's dream and told him that a famine
was coming. This allowed Egypt to store up plenty of food so that when the famine came, they
would be well prepared and could survive. Joseph helped to further the kingdom of God in many
ways. He set an example of great faith and trust that we can follow. Joseph also advanced the
kingdom of God by interpreting dreams. He got to show off God's glory by telling Pharoah what
he dreamed. Then there was a God-fearing man high up in the Egyptian government. Lastly, he
helped his community out by storing up the food for years before the famine. He helped the
whole Egyptian nation and neighboring areas survive the famine. When the famine came, food
was abundant. Joseph did so much for not only for earthly people but also for the Kingdom of
God.
Joseph is one of the more famous adolescents we see in the Bible. Many people
remember Joseph from the story of the coat of many colors. He is also a well-known character in
the Bible from the story of his brother throwing him into the pit and selling him. Many people
believe Joseph to be around the age of 17 when his brother sold him to the Egyptians. Joseph had
many things that affected his life in drastic ways because of the family in which he grew up.
Joseph grew up in a messed up family, he was sold into slavery, and he was accused of a sexual
act that he did not commit. Spiritually he grew up around God-fearing people, He experienced
God through the ability to interpret dreams, and Joseph overcame temptation. God used him in
mighty ways to impact so many people, not just in his day, but he also continues to change
people’s lives.

Social Elements
Looking at Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory, Joseph was affected by the
Microsystem, He was first affected by the Microsystem by having such a large family. He came
from a family where he had twelve brothers, and his dad had multiple women. Joseph, having so
many family members, can bring out many different social elements, and this plays a significant
factor in Joseph’s development. The second ecological system that would have had an impact on
Joseph is the mesosystem. His surrounding area was pretty rural. It is a fact that Joseph would
have done some shepherding in his life. This would have influenced him because he would have
been a good protector and a gentle-spirited guy. It would have made him a responsible
adolescent. The final. The final system is the chronosystem. In the history of Joseph’s family, we
see some sins that continue. Many of Joseph’s family heritage wrestled with God and did not
1
trust God in all areas some of the time. Joseph could have learned from these mistakes and been
able to be proactive about not committing the same sins.
Spiritual Elements
First off, Joseph was affected morally. He was known as a very moral youth, and he was
tested many times. One of these times was by Potipher’s wife when she tried to tempt him to
sleep with her. Joseph ran from this temptation, and this helped to strengthen his morals. He most
likely developed some of these morals from seeing his dad fall into different sins with different
women. He learned from mistakes that he saw his dad make, which made him an even more
moral adolescent. Joseph was impacted spiritually in many various aspects, growing up. He came
from a line of family who, for the most part, was God fearing. His dad would have been a firm
believer which would have impacted the way he saw spiritual things. Finally, we see Joseph as a
