Today is the 22nd day of August.

Welcome to the Daily Audio Bible. I am Brian.

It is really great to be here with you today. I hope you are doing well. I send my love from the

steamy rolling hills of Tennessee.

As fewly echo back from all over, wherever you are, I'm glad that we can be together today,

wherever you are in this world,

wherever you are in this world, on your journey, wherever you are in your heart and mind.

I'm glad we can be together for this.

I'm really glad we can be together for this. I'm really glad we can be together for the territory that we're in.

It's not territory to go through alone.

We're in the book of Job. We began yesterday and the Bible has led us to deal with the suffering with some of the

deepest,

deepest traumatic depression that exists in humanity.

And so yesterday as we began, we understood what happened to Job, how he was systematically dismantled as a human being basically

with such complex trauma that I mean if we considered that kind of a day well that's

what we're supposed to do is to understand like as a baseline this is the

worst possible scenario that can happen to a human being.

And that helps us kind of adjust a little bit as we sort of deal with our own suffering but

it also doesn't shy away from what's happening to

Job and so he's he's pretty much been isolated he's pretty much been isolated. He's pretty much been deeply overwhelmed. He's lost everything. He's lost everyone. He's lost his health.

And so his friends have come and they have sat with him.

They didn't even recognize him.
