The Bible Explained with Jenn Kokal

In this episode of The Bible Explained, Job's friend Eliphaz speaks up, and it's a masterclass in how NOT to comfort a friend:
Eliphaz calls Job a hypocrite for helping others through suffering but falling apart when it's his turn.
"Isn't your piety your confidence?" - Why this is the prosperity gospel, and why the whole book of Job is a war against it.
Eliphaz says God is quick to anger and strikes people down, but Psalm 103 says Yahweh is merciful, gracious, and slow to anger.
A secret spirit visits Eliphaz in the night, and he can't discern what it is. How do we test the spirits?
Do we perish without God ever regarding it? Jenn exposes the lies wrapped in a little bit of truth.
Join Jenn as she reminds us that God isn't hidden or a secret. He's close, He's listening, and He cares deeply for you.

In this episode of The Bible Explained, Job's intense suffering and emotional turmoil come to the forefront:
Job's consumed by his grief, cursing the day of his birth and the night of his conception, wishing he'd never even existed.
Job invokes those who rouse up Leviathan to help him curse his birthday.
Since Job can't erase himself, he wishes to have been born stillborn. But since Job can't go back to infancy, he wishes to fall over dead as he speaks.
Job has accusations against God for trapping him in his suffering.
Join Jenn as she explores the complexities of Job's emotions, the nature of God's sovereignty, and the human experience of suffering. Listen in to gain a deeper understanding of this pivotal chapter.

This episode of The Bible Explained is a thought-provoking discussion on the topic of Christians suffering:
Christians are called to rejoice in their sufferings as a way to become more like Christ and share in His sufferings. Trials are not something to be shocked about.
Judgement begins in the household of God - what this means, and how it reshapes the definition of suffering.
Our lives are like a blip in the grand scheme of eternity, and our sufferings are temporary, even on earth
The reality of life after death, and consequently, death after death.
