Summary

Why does God allow innocent people to suffer, and can we trust Him when life falls apart? In our Job 1 commentary, we dive into one of the Bible's most honest, raw, and misunderstood books and watch God allow a blameless, upright man's world to be shattered.

0:12.5	Welcome to the Bible Book Club and season 18, the book of Job.
0:17.5	If you just found us for the first time, know that we call this podcast the Bible Book

1:29.0	Well, I say this every season. The Bible is a collection of stories that together tell a much
1:34.6	larger story. The larger story is the entire history of our redemption with Jesus as the ultimate
1:40.2	hero. Now, Job is one of the stories that appear in the Old Testament. And the Old Testament
