  • Why Does God Answer Job by Changing the Subject?
    Oct 17 2025

    What happens when God finally breaks His silence? In the final episode of our series on Job, we explore God's stunning response from the whirlwind - an answer that has nothing to do with Job's suffering and everything to do with God's wisdom and power.

    We discuss how God reframes the entire conversation, moving Job from a place of demanding answers to a place of humble trust. This is a deep dive into what it means to find perspective in pain, wrestle honestly with faith, and ultimately find peace not in understanding why, but in knowing Who.

    Don't miss the powerful conclusion to our journey through one of the Bible's most challenging and essential books.

  • Is It Okay to Not Be Okay with God?
    Oct 3 2025

    In the middle of suffering, do you feel pressure to pretend you're okay? This episode is for you.

    Continuing our conversation on the Book of Job, we explore the surprising truth that God doesn't demand our stoic positivity; He invites our honest pain. We look at Job as a model for how to wrestle with God, and his friends as a warning against the "toxic positivity" that so often hurts those who are grieving.

    This is a permission-giving conversation for anyone who is tired of easy answers and wants to find a more honest and compassionate way to walk through hardship with God and with others.

  • Why Do We Say the Wrong Thing to People Who Are Hurting?
    Sep 19 2025

    Why do our best intentions so often lead to empty platitudes when we try to comfort someone in pain? We’ve all been there: on the receiving end of a well-meaning but hurtful comment, or on the giving end, fumbling for the right words and saying the exact wrong thing.

    To wrestle with this universal problem, we turn to one of the oldest and most honest stories about suffering ever written: the Book of Job. Using Job’s story, and some personal experiences we'll share along the way, we explore the anatomy of bad comfort. We tackle the "everything happens for a reason" mindset, the dangers of prosperity gospel thinking, and why Job’s infamous "friends" are a perfect mirror for our own mistakes.

    This isn't just a theoretical Bible study; it's a practical guide to becoming a better comforter. We explore what it truly means to offer your presence instead of your opinions and how to love people well in their darkest moments.

    This is Part 1 of a deep and vulnerable conversation that we can't wait to share with you. Join us as we try to find a better way forward.
