The 4th season of Clearly is here! This fall season, we’re diving into the book of Job and the questions that show up in it:Why do the righteous suffer?How do we to grieve like a Christian?Are there wrong ways to explain pain?What role does satan play in our suffering?What is the real point of Job?Also new this season, we’ll be doing more Q&A episodes. We feel like this content is important and tender and requires a lot of nuance and we’d love to take as many questions as we can. You can send your questions about Job to question@clearlypodcast.com.Whether or not you are in a season of suffering, thinking through these topics biblically is incredibly important. It’s important in how we understand our own pain and loss, how we comfort others in the wake of their own losses and how we talk to non-believers who see suffering as an obstacle to faith.
