When Trust in God is Hard and What We Can Learn From Job and His Wife
Have you ever judged Job’s wife for what she told him the same way her own husband did?
What if the real question isn’t whether she was foolish, but whether anyone ever told her the one thing that would have changed everything?
Can you trust in God when life makes you wonder if He’s even good?
Listen to Episode 79 | Was Job’s Wife Actually Foolish to Question if God is Good? When Trust in God is Hard
In this episode, Ash takes on one of the most villainized women in the Bible, Job’s wife, and makes the case that her story has been told wrong for centuries. Using Job 2:9-10, she walks through what Job’s wife actually said and why “foolish” was never the full picture. This is a Bible study and devotional for moms wrestling with their own trust in God after hardship.
Ash also shares her own three-year walk away from God after her son’s hospitalizations, and what she’s learned since about the difference between what God allows, and why James 1:17’s promise that only good comes from God changes how you read this whole story.
If you’ve ever blamed God for pain, or been called foolish for struggling with your faith, this episode is for you.
