This is South-South Rabbi. We're gonna do things a little bit different today. Kind of have a conversation. I'm in album mode, as you can see.

They say that the rougher the man, the stronger the songs, okay? We're just gonna have a moment of kind of transparency, kind of wrestle through things a little bit, and we'll just see kind of what a conversation takes us.

You just want to also say real quick, thank you so much to our supporters, our patrons. If you have not become a patron, we encourage you to join the community.

But those who are listening to us regularly, we are overwhelmed with gratitude for your support, helping to be one of the many voices that God uses in your life to shape you for His kingdom is among our greatest rewards in this life.

Thank you for allowing us to be a part of that. Let's get it.

One of the things that scared me about the book of Job is that all of his friends thought in their heart of hearts that they were trying to serve that man.

And they were speaking with conviction and they clearly thought that God was on their side.

They have theologically sound arguments, their arguments and stuff that they said about God were also true. That's another thing.

So they were when I was I was like a minister to about some of the stuff they said when he was like God, if you if you turn from your sin, God will forgive you.

They talked about God's justice, how he is a just God, he gives justice to the oppressed, he gives justice to the poor.

Everything that they were saying about God was true. It was all facts.

Yes.

Everything was factual and they were wrong.

Not absolutely wrong.

That is scary and and I'm thinking about the Elihu who says this man Elihu in chapter 32, bro.

This man starts off the chapter basically says look I have been silent.

I'm a young man and out of respect for the older I have let everybody speak and I haven't said anything but now I'm going to say something.

And it's funny because the author says three like three different times before Elihu starts talking how upset he is like it just says that he's mad.

So these three men cease to answer Joe because he was righteous in his own eyes.

Yes.

Then Elihu the son of Barrakel the the buzite of the family of Ram burned with anger.

One, he burned with anger at Joe because he justified himself rather than God.
