In Job 29, Job is looking back and remembering his life before all these hard things happened. Sometimes, this is something that we can also do. However, something we see throughout Scripture is that suffering and hardships are what lead to intimate friendship with God. Emma Dotter and faithful Watermark Member Emily Hill unpack these truths and more in today’s Join the Journey Podcast.
