Can I trust God's sovereignty when I don't see the wicked being punished? Today Emma Dotter is joined by Lauren Fricke as they talk about Job 18. Lauren confesses her original timidity to the book of Job, and how it combats her desire for control. But, we do know that when life is unfair, we have to trust God and trust that he will take care of punishment in the end.

There is an underlying lie that Christians can believe that says that we can’t say the things that we are really feeling to God. Today, Emma Dotter and faithful Watermark Staff Member, Neil Monroe combat that lie. Neil explains that we have a God who isn’t just sympathetic, or concerned about something bad happening, but empathetic, where He is putting Himself in our shoes.
