    Job Meets God At The Whirlwind

    Send us Fan Mail Episode 9 is the culmination of Season 1 for WTRD The Podcast.  In this final episode, we climb the summit of Job’s journey to healing and restoration as Job is finally face-to-face with God at the whirlwind. Job stands before the judge of all the earth as God grants his servant Job an audience, but it is not as Job imagined.  God would question Job in the realms of the creation of the universe and of animals.  Job’s personal agenda was obliterated before the holy God of the universe, and Job repents of his self-righteousness.  As Job prays for and forgives his three friends, God restores Job’s losses by a factor of two.  Job is restored with a great story of faith for the generations on earth.

    Debates, Discouragement, Defense, and Delay

    Send us Fan Mail Episode 8 features Author, Pastor, Professor Dr. Bradley Booth Ed.D. as he discusses catastrophic personal loss from a pastoral perspective, specifically: [Debates] The element of friends and family imposing themselves or (unsolicited) advice upon the already heartbroken.  How should one navigate the sometimes vigorous contentions over next-steps issues with family and friends? [Discouragement] The often repeated  Christian mantra that "real Christians" just need to buck it up, and not mourn their loss(es) as a sign of their faith, is certainly not consistent with the story of Job.  We make the point in the book that God provided us with the capacity to experience faith and hope alongside real-time pain and suffering.  These are not incompatible – taken together they ARE  grief. [Defense] In the aftermath of great tragedy, we survey the brokenness around us, and sometimes we find ourselves contending not only with the loss itself, but also having to defend ourselves from the judgmental observations and opinions of friends and family (just as Job did).  How do you, as a pastor, counsel people to deal with and approach this? [Delay] Job's heart was broken, and his life was shattered with great losses.  He expected God to "show up" immediately, if not sooner, to address Job's ruination.  Job found himself dealing with a considerable delay, not unlike many of us... experiencing a delay in God's response.   How should we approach catastrophic personal loss and God's delay in our circumstances?

    Send us Fan Mail Episode 6 examines catastrophic personal loss from a pastoral perspective. In Chapter 7 of WTRD, we discuss the Why of Suffering.

To Silence The Devil, 3. To Glorify God, 4. To Make Us Christlike, 5. To Teach Us Dependence On God, 6. To Refine Our Lives, 7. To Rebuke Our Sin, 8. To Enlarge Our Ministry Toward Others.

    Job's Conduct In Crisis

    Send us Fan Mail Episode #3 begins with a brief review of key elements from Episode #2, where we examined Job's great character as the preparation and pretext for the dramatic crisis in Job's life. We trace the story of Job from Chapters 1 and 2 of the Book of Job, where, in short order, and in a series of two assaults, Job lost his prosperous livestock business, many of his trusted workforce were murdered by hordes of nomadic raiders, and most tragically, Job's 10 children were killed as they were crushed beneath the rubble of their oldest brother's house where they were feasting. (Job 1:13-19)  As if all of that were not enough for this great man, Satan struck Job with large and painful boils from the "sole of his foot to the crown of his head". (Job 2:7) Nearly everything about Job's life was undone. Job was afflicted in body, mind, and soul. In the only exchange between Job and his wife recorded in the scriptures, Job's wife offers no words of consolation, compassion, or love. While she is no doubt contending with her own grief, she chooses a bitter insult given to her husband in question form, followed by a ringing fatalistic suggestion: "Do you still hold fast to your integrity? Curse God and die!" (Job 2:9). Job's gracious and kind heart responded to his wife with wisdom and spiritual maturity, leading him to a time of refection at the Dunghill.  Support the show Purchase When Tears Run Dry  https://remnantpublications.com/when-tears-run-dry-r-mark-janacek.html https://whentearsrundry.org/

    Job's Perfect Resume

    Send us Fan Mail Episode #2, Job's Perfect Resume, begins with a brief review of key elements from Episode #1, providing a segue from the discussion of 'tears' to the subject of 'crying' and the four types of crying (Sadness, Relief, Joy, Anger/Frustration) experienced by our central character, Job. We discuss one of the major themes of When Tears Run Dry: Job's character, integrity, and faith. These were the character hallmarks of this remarkable man, whom God affectionately called "My servant." Episode #2 examines the unseen discourse between Satan and God, with Job as God's example of a "blameless and upright" man of great integrity and faith. This opening unseen discourse sets the stage for the dramatic crisis about to unfold in Job's life. Satan has leveled accusations against Job's character. How will Job respond? Job's 'Perfect Resume' foreshadows his response to great suffering and loss.  Support the show Purchase When Tears Run Dry  https://remnantpublications.com/when-tears-run-dry-r-mark-janacek.html https://whentearsrundry.org/
