0:00.0	Hey guys, Joshua Lewis here with Remnant Radio, and I'll tell you about Rimcon this spring in San Diego, California.
0:06.8	The dates are February 5th through the 7th, and the subject of the conference is growing in the Gifts of the Spirit.
0:12.3	You can join us there in person or via live stream, and what you're going to get out of that conference is some serious theological training on the gifts of the Spirit.
0:22.6	What are they? How do they operate?
0:28.1	There's also going to be opportunities to break out and practice spiritual gifts in a kind of biblical,
0:33.9	safe, and orderly way. We've got lectures from myself, Michael Miller, Michael Roundtry, John Mark Baker, from the Minor Prophets, and Dr. Sam Storms. So if you're looking to move beyond just the theoretical and learning the theology of spiritual guests,

0:45.1	I'd encourage you to come out and hang out with us February 5th through the 7th there in San Diego, California.

1:26.8	How do we respond to traumatized people?
1:30.7	And the book of Job is a book about trauma. We're talking about a guy who lost everything,
1:35.3	lost his family, lost his money, lost his health. He lost everything. And it's a book marked
1:41.8	by long speeches. And have you ever wondered why there are so many long
1:46.2	speeches in the book of Job? Well, here's one major reason. And it has to do with a major purpose
1:52.8	of the book of Job, which is to show us this, that how we respond to suffering people
1:59.3	intensifies or diminishes their suffering. How we respond to suffering people intensifies or diminishes their suffering.
