157 episode Suffering/Job

Possibly one of the most helpful talks I’ve ever heard about suffering. Addresses the elephant in the room for Christians in the most sensitive way. Bless you and the podcast

Good Interviewer; teaching draws us to Christ

Interviewer asks useful questions and is not too wordy. The teaching is biblical. It is not legalistic or formulaic; instead it strengthens us with Life-giving truth and draws us to Christ.
Latest interview I listened to (learned from :) was with Dane Ortlund re. the Book of Psalms as a prayer book and revealer of Christ. Excellent. Sounds like there are others with Mr Ortlund, which I hope to find.
Thank you for providing this.
