"Why?" | The Writings | Job 1

Ten Minute Bible Talks
About this episode

No question is as powerful, yet terrifying, as the question posed by the book of Job: "why?" Why does Job love God? Why does Job suffer? Why do we suffer? In today's episode, Jeff shares how Job 1 encourages us to turn our "whys" into worship.
