About this episode

The episode explores the question of why God allows suffering, using the story of Job as a focal point.

Why? It is the most basic of all questions. As humans, we want to know why things happen. Especially when those things are painful. That was Job’s problem. Job couldn’t understand how God could allow his suffering. We’ll explore this further in today’s study of Job 10. Questions That We’ll Answer: A) What was Job’s struggle? What couldn’t he understand? B) Is God indifferent to our hurts or pains? C) What are the implications to your own life? Speaker: Rev. Dr. Toby Holt
