Today in Job 12 we hear Job answer Zophar with sarcasm and wrestle with God's sovereignty when suffering feels like God's own hand:

  • Job meets cruelty with sarcasm and says he is not inferior to his friends.
  • Job thinks idolatrous robbers prosper while "the just and blameless man is a joke."
  • Job is forgetting that Satan exists. God allowed the suffering, but Satan sent the tornado, the raiders, and the sickness.
  • Satan is very good at framing God for the things he does.
  • God is completely sovereign over all, so why did He allow Satan to hurt Job?
  • Romans 8: the Spirit and Jesus intercede for us, and "all things work together for good for those who love God."

Jenn's mission with The Bible Explained podcast is to go through the Bible cover-to-cover while answering common questions about God, Christianity, historical validity of the Scriptures, and the state of the world.

In her personal life, Jenn is a homebody who loves playing music, painting, and being a youth leader alongside her husband. Jenn lives in a little house in the middle of the Ohio sticks with her husband of eleven years and their two Jack Russells, Bandit and Cody.
