Job Ep. 21: Blessed by Correction?

Eliphaz finishes his first response to Job with promises—big ones. He frames suffering as God’s discipline and insists that restoration will follow if Job responds the right way. On the surface, his words sound faithful and reassuring. But beneath the confidence lies a rigid system that leaves no room for innocent suffering or unresolved grief. In this episode, we walk through Job 5:17–27 and listen closely to what Eliphaz promises—and what those promises assume about Job, God, and the nature of suffering.
