After losing everything in a single day, Job responds in a way that still surprises readers. He mourns deeply, falls to the ground in worship, and speaks words that acknowledge both God’s giving and God’s taking away. In this episode, we slow down and listen carefully to Job’s response at the end of chapter one—and what it reveals about faith, grief, and faithful speech before God.

In a single day, Job loses everything—his wealth, his servants, and all ten of his children. One messenger after another arrives, each bringing worse news than the last. In this episode, we slow down and sit with the weight of Job 1:13–19, allowing the text to show us just how quickly a faithful man’s world can fall apart.

In Job 1, we’re allowed to overhear a conversation that Job himself never hears. We’re given access to the dialogue between God and the accuser—but not an explanation. In this episode, we slow down and listen carefully, resisting the temptation to rush to conclusions as the conversation that sets the entire book of Job in motion unfolds.
