Despite his friend's well-intentioned words, Job is still in the depths of grief. This week, Magan & Judy discuss Job's ability to--even in the depths of despair--find comfort in the Holy One.

Due to illness, Judy & Magan weren't able to record this week. Please enjoy this repeat episode (consider it a refresher!) of dealing with church hurts, as someone who's been hurt or part of the church that has hurt? Judy and Magan share some personal experiences with their own church hurts and offer some insight on how to move forward.

When we go through the trials of life, it's helpful to have friends around to support you. Sometimes those friends, though well-intentioned, say things that aren't exactly supportive. Job had a few of those friends. In Job 4 & 5, we meet Eliphaz, a friend with the best of intentions, but who lacked true perspective. In this episode, Judy & Magan discuss his intentions, his delivery of his support, and ways we can be supportive when we see someone in the valleys of life.

The grieving process can be a long and windy road full of anger, depression, and negative self-talk. Job wasn't exempt from these. Magan and Judy work their way through Job 3, discussing Job's grieving process and sharing some stories of their own.

In the new series When Bad Things Happen to Good People, Judy and Magan are discussing the book of Job. Job was a man who seemingly did everything right. Why would God allow him to go through such hardship? In these first two chapters, we get some background info on Job himself, and we watch as he loses what seems to be everything of importance and begins his own physical suffering. 

We often feel justified in our dishonor of people--those we disagree with, those who have behaved horribly, and those who dishonor us. But what does the Bible say? Magan and Judy chat about what honor really is and what it means to show honor from a Biblical perspective.

"From the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks." (Luke 6:45) "As a man thinks, so he is." (Prov. 23:7) "The tongue has the power of life and death." (Prov. 18:21) Judy and Magan discuss the power of a word and its impact on our lives.

How do you handle church hurts, as someone who's been hurt and part of the church that has hurt? Judy and Magan share some personal experiences with their own church hurts and offer some insight on how to move forward.
