What if everything that makes you feel secure vanished in a day—would your faith still stand? We sit with Job on the ash heap and confront the hard claim that affection for God must outlive the gifts God gives. From seven days of stunned silence to the first tremors of lament in chapter three, we trace how Job curses the day of his birth without cursing the Lord, and why that distinction matters for anyone walking through deep loss.

Together we unpack Satan’s accusation that devotion is merely transactional and explore how the story exposes that lie. We connect Job’s trial to Hebrews 12, naming what was shaken and removed—children, servants, livestock, wealth, health, status—and what remained unshaken: a God-given faith anchored in reverence. Along the way, we open a christological window on the text, considering how the timeless Son understands suffering and meets us within it. You’ll hear candid panel reflections and moving personal testimony that bring the ancient drama into present-tense life.

If you’ve wrestled with premature judgments, hollow comfort, or the fear that honest anguish might dishonor God, this conversation offers a better way. We argue that affliction is the ruler that measures faith, not a verdict of divine abandonment. The goal isn’t stoic denial but faithful honesty—bringing pain to God rather than away from Him, trusting that grace holds when explanations don’t. Press play, subscribe for more deep-dive studies, and share your own story: what in your life cannot be shaken?
