In this episode we’ll talk about the story of Job, which marks the beginning of the poetic portion of the Old Testament. We’ll talk about the faithfulness of Job and how this was tested, first through trials that affected his affluence, and second through trials that affected his health. Some of his friends stood by him, and some of them didn’t. We’ll address the vexing question of “why do bad things happen to good people”, questioning the concept of what is bad and considering how perspective plays into this process. We’ll also talk about the Atonement of Jesus Christ and how this can provide peace and understanding during times of difficulty.
