Synopsis

Connect the dots of triumph and trauma in your life to discover God’s presence by studying the story of Joseph in Genesis. The story of Joseph teaches us to see the big picture. For many of us, life can feel like a scattering of random events. The various choices, opportunities, or even pain we experience seem to have no real purpose or connection. Our souls wonder: Is that just a coincidence? Does this have a purpose? Is any of this connected at all? But, if we pay attention to God’s work, our lives tell a different story: A dot of God’s grace here. A dot of God’s presence and protection there. When we look closely, connecting the dots, we discover that our lives are not a series of disconnected events, but a story in which God is weaving what seems random into a beautiful image of joy, survival, purpose, and meaning. In The Big Picture: Seeing God’s Dream for Your Life, a five-week study based on the story of Joseph in Genesis, authors Nicole and Jevon Caldwell-Gross take a closer look at the life of Joseph to discover God’s presence in moments of triumph and trauma, and help us begin connecting the dots in our own lives. Components for the six-week study include a book, comprehensive Leader Guide, DVD/Video sessions.

She has held diverse ministry roles as an associate pastor, non-profit executive director and denominational leader. Currently she is the first woman and person of color to serve as Senior Pastor at Noblesville First United Methodist Church. While God's call has led her to Dubai, India, South Africa and Cuba, her most meaningful mission field is in Indiana where she resides with her partner in marriage and ministry: Rev. Dr. Jevon Caldwell-Gross. They are outnumbered by their three children: Joshua Alexander, Olivia Grace and Isabella Joy. When Nicole is not preaching or podcasting, she's sipping an extra hot macchiato with a burger on the side.

Serving in a variety of contexts, ranging from urban cities to multicultural suburban communities, Pastor J is known for his ability to connect with different audiences and to make the gospel accessible and practical.
