    Dragons and Dinosaurs (Job 40:15-42:6)

    What do dinosaurs and dragons have to do with suffering? In this final portion of God’s response to Job, the Lord describes two enormous creatures—behemoth and leviathan. Far from myth or metaphor, these creatures were real, powerful, and terrifying. But why would God bring them up now? Stephen Davey walks you through Job 40–42 and shows how these “monsters” are actually instruments of comfort. God is reminding Job—and you—that if He created creatures as massive and fearsome as these, He surely has the power to govern the hardest moments of your life. Job’s suffering had left him devastated and desperate for answers. God didn’t give him explanations—instead, He gave him a creation tour. Whether you’re battling doubt, confusion, or sorrow, this episode will encourage you to trust your Creator. These final chapters reveal that God’s control over dinosaurs and dragons is a vivid picture of His authority over everything. If He governs the fiercest animals, He can surely handle your greatest fears. Don’t miss this fascinating and deeply practical episode. It will challenge your view of creation—and strengthen your confidence in your Creator.Stephen Davey's newest book, The Disciples Prayer, is available now. https://www.wisdomonline.org/store/view/the-disciples-prayer-hardback Stephen's latest book, The Disciples Prayer, is available now. https://www.wisdomonline.org/store/view/the-disciples-prayer-hardback

    A Trip to the Zoo (Job 38:39-40:14)

    Why would God talk about animals to a suffering man? In this episode of The Wisdom Journey, Stephen Davey explores Job 38:39–40:14, where God responds to Job not with explanations, but with illustrations from the natural world. God takes Job—and us—on a divine field trip to the zoo, highlighting creatures like lions, ravens, ostriches, and eagles. Each animal reveals something about God’s creativity, wisdom, and care. From the hunting instinct of lions to the hilarious oddities of the ostrich, and the sharp vision of eagles, God shows that He governs every detail of life. And if He’s in control of animals, He’s certainly in control of our lives too. This lesson isn’t about animal trivia—it’s about discovering comfort in the character of God. If He can provide for birds and beasts, He will care for you. And if His ways in nature sometimes seem unusual, it reminds us that His ways in our lives may not always make sense, but they are always wise. Don’t miss this encouraging message that invites you to trust your Creator—even when life is confusing—because His design in nature is proof of His design for you.

    Water, Earth, and Sky (Job 38:4-38)

    In Job’s moment of deepest suffering, God finally speaks—but not with easy answers or quick fixes. Instead, God takes Job on a guided tour of creation. In this episode of The Wisdom Journey, Stephen Davey explores Job 38:4-38, where God reveals His unmatched power, wisdom, and control over water, earth, and sky. Why does God point Job to clouds, stars, and ocean tides instead of explaining Job’s suffering? Because the majesty of creation is more than scenery—it’s theology. It reveals the Creator’s strength, order, and care. It reminds Job—and you—that even when life feels chaotic, God has never stopped governing His world or guiding your life. From constellations to lightning bolts, God’s questions are more than a science lesson. They are comforting proof that the same God who manages the movement of stars can manage the brokenness of your life. And the same God who created the sea also set its boundaries—for nature and for you. Don’t miss this powerful lesson that connects the heavens above to your heart below—and reminds you that you matter to the Creator who holds it all.

    A Word from God at Last (Job 38:1-3)

    Have you ever begged God to speak—and heard nothing in return? That’s exactly where Job has been for 37 chapters. But in this episode of The Wisdom Journey, everything changes. God finally speaks to Job, but not with explanations or apologies. Instead, He takes Job on a guided tour of creation—asking 77 questions about the heavens, the seas, the stars, and the animals. Why would God respond that way to someone suffering in the ashes? Stephen Davey explains why this seemingly unexpected answer is exactly what Job—and you—need. Through creation, God reveals not only His power, but His wisdom, control, and deep care for His people. The God who created everything isn’t just powerful enough to create; He’s powerful enough to direct your life, comfort your heart, and prepare your eternal home. In this episode, you’ll discover three reasons why God’s role as Creator should bring you comfort in the middle of suffering. If your world is shaken and heaven feels silent, this message will lift your eyes to the One who made it all—and hasn’t let go.

    The Learning Curve of Life (Job 32-37)

    What does suffering teach us, and how can we learn from it? In this episode of The Wisdom Journey, Stephen Davey unpacks Job 32–37 and introduces us to Elihu—a younger voice with fresh insight. Unlike Job’s other friends, Elihu offers new perspectives on God’s purpose in suffering. His words remind Job—and us—that even when God seems silent, He’s still speaking, still working, and still ruling. Elihu presents four key truths: God speaks through suffering, God is always just even when life feels unfair, God is never heartless, and God remains seated on the throne, no matter how unsettled our world becomes. These chapters in Job highlight the steep learning curve we often face in hardship. But within those trials, God is refining, instructing, and comforting. Stephen draws practical lessons from Elihu’s speeches and shows how they apply to your own trials today. If you’re wrestling with pain, unanswered questions, or a sense that God is distant, this episode will remind you that He is near—and He is using even your darkest nights to teach you trust and wisdom.

    The Last Stand of a Desperate Man (Job 25-31)

    How do you respond when life takes everything away—and God seems silent? In this episode of The Wisdom Journey, Stephen Davey walks through Job chapters 25–31, where Job continues his defense, reviews his life, and renews his trust in God’s justice and wisdom. Though mocked and misunderstood, Job refuses to abandon the God who seems absent. He stands on what he knows: God’s greatness, God’s coming judgment, and the hope of God’s wisdom. Through deep sorrow, Job reflects on God’s glory and his own integrity. He’s not claiming perfection—but he’s not hiding sin either. As his friends keep accusing and the heavens stay silent, Job boldly declares, “I know that my Redeemer lives.” This is more than theology—it’s trust in action. Whether you’re walking through hardship or helping others in pain, Job’s words will inspire you to persevere in faith. Discover how to live wisely, with reverence for God and obedience to His Word, even when your world feels like it’s falling apart. If you’re ready to renew your commitment to the Lord in the midst of suffering, this episode will remind you: God may be silent, but He’s never absent.

    A Saint in the Hands of an Angry Counselor (Job 22-24)

    What happens when someone you trust misjudges your motives and condemns you unfairly? That’s exactly what Job faces in this pivotal episode of The Wisdom Journey as Eliphaz becomes more accusatory than ever. Stephen Davey walks you through Job chapters 22–24, where Eliphaz lashes out, inventing sins Job didn’t commit and demanding that Job repent in order to get his life back. Job, devastated and confused, responds not with bitterness but with faith. He doesn’t understand why he’s suffering, but he holds to a profound truth: “When He has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.” That’s not resignation—it’s trust. Stephen contrasts the cruel accusations of Eliphaz with the gentle conviction of the Holy Spirit, reminding you that Satan accuses, but God redeems. If you’ve ever been falsely accused, if you’ve ever been misunderstood or misrepresented, this episode will encourage your heart and help you respond with grace and truth. Join us as we explore the faithfulness of Job and discover how to stay grounded in God’s truth—even when life doesn’t make sense and others make it worse.

    Resting on the Rock of Our Redeemer (Job 15-21)

    What do you do when well-meaning people offer words that wound more than heal? In this episode of The Wisdom Journey, Stephen Davey explores Job chapters 15–21—where Job’s counselors unleash their second round of harsh, misguided advice. These so-called friends continue accusing Job of hidden sin, while Job pleads for understanding and clings to the goodness of God. In the midst of mounting grief and unbearable pain, Job makes one of the most remarkable declarations of faith in the Bible: “I know that my Redeemer lives.” This isn’t wishful thinking or empty optimism—this is deep, tested trust in a living God, even as silence echoes from heaven. Stephen walks you through Job’s responses, including his despair, confusion, and faith-filled perseverance. You’ll be challenged to think deeply about how to comfort others in their suffering and how to recognize shallow theology that offers no hope. If you’ve ever been hurt by bad counsel—or needed a reason to hope again—this episode will help anchor your faith in the rock-solid truth that Jesus Christ, our Redeemer, is alive and present, even when life seems hopeless.
