  • The Silence of Wisdom (Job 22–28)
    Feb 2 2026

    The debate grinds to a halt. In the third and final cycle of speeches, the friends run out of arguments. Eliphaz resorts to slander, Bildad barely whispers, and Zophar is completely silent. But out of this exhaustion emerges a beautiful interlude: Job 28, the "Hymn to Wisdom." Pastor John and Sarah explore the difference between human mining—digging for gold—and the divine revelation of Wisdom, which is found only in the fear of Adonai.

    Episode Description: The gloves come off. In the second cycle of speeches, Job's friends stop trying to comfort him and start attacking his character.

Job responds by shattering their "karma theology" with a brutal look at reality and delivers one of the most famous lines in the entire Bible about his Redeemer.
