Job
Brace yourself because in this episode we’re covering the entire book of Job. Join Knox and Jamie as they enter into a holy rap battle featuring a lot of whining, sad flutes, and adversarial schemes. Along the way we’ll explore what it means to fear God, how to maintain integrity in the face of suffering, and why you might want to move this book up to the front of your Bible reading plan. All this and more awaits you in our most transactional episode yet!
