Today in Job 13 we hear Job keep answering his friends, call them physicians of no value, and turn to put God on trial:

  • Job once shared his friends' karma view, but suffering is teaching him that God is not the God of the prosperity gospel.
  • God will not be happy if we lie about His nature, even when we think we are defending Him.
  • A common lie about God: God is always happy. No, God is not always happy.
  • Job asks God not to strike him or terrify him, then officially puts God on trial.
  • The book of Job is not afraid of our hardest questions about who God is.

Meet Your Host
Jenn Kokal grew up in a Christian household. In 2019, she noticed a common problem - too many Christians questioning faith, God, and the validity of the Bible. Since Jenn had a newfound love for God's Word, she wanted to spread its truth. Thus, P40 Ministries and The Bible Explained were born. 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.
