Josh Kingcade, education minister, wrote the lyrics and storyboarded the video.

The 2018 VBS didn’t disappoint. Here’s “It’s God’s Will,” a retelling of the story of Joseph, starring a good chunk of the church’s ministry staff. Andy Lashley, involvement and communications minister, is Joseph. (Bonus points if you can name the song this is spoofing. Post your guesses below.)
