Join us in the newest episode of the Armor of God podcast where host, Don Purdum, analyzes the age-old question – why do bad things happen to good people? Weaving wisdom from the Biblical story of Job’s sufferings and personal experiences, Don explores how Job, despite his trials, maintained steadfast faith – a testament to the steadfastness of purpose and unwavering belief in God.
Don draws parallels to his life, sharing his journey of recovery from physical injuries and debt, and finding God’s redemption in unexpected places.
This episode further expounds on the importance of integrity during challenging times, urging listeners not to solely rely on others for comfort. Job’s friends and wife, while well-intending, did not fully comprehend the divine purpose behind his suffering. Similarly, life will always bring trials, and Don emphasizes the significance of maintaining a balanced perspective, praising God in both good and adverse times.
The story of Job serves as an illustration – our trials are not meant to punish, but refine us, bringing us closer to God. Expect a journey into faith, hope, and love that’s deeply rooted in Job’s experiences, and emerge with a renewed understanding of suffering and resilience.
This episode takes suffering head-on, presenting it as an opportunity to grow closer to Jesus, to find comfort and solace in His love and companionship. Furthermore, it reminds listeners that, just like Job, life’s adversities will pass, leading us all back into the warm embrace of our Lord.
