Hitting Rock Bottom (Job 3-7)

The Wisdom Journey

How do you respond when life seems too painful to endure? In this powerful episode of The Wisdom Journey, Stephen Davey walks you through Job chapters 3 to 7—one of the darkest sections in all of Scripture. Job, a man known for his faith, has now lost everything and wishes he had never been born. His raw lament opens the poetic section of this profound book, giving voice to emotions many believers have felt but rarely admit.

As Job’s grief deepens, his friends begin offering flawed explanations. Eliphaz is the first to speak—and the first to get it wrong. He accuses Job of secret sin, assuming that suffering always equals guilt. But Stephen reminds you of what the opening chapters of Job have already revealed: Job isn’t suffering because he was sinful. He’s suffering because he was faithful.

This lesson offers not easy answers but lasting hope. Through Job’s honest prayers, sharp replies, and undeserved criticism, you’ll find encouragement for your own journey through pain. You’ll be reminded that even in your lowest moments, God’s promises remain true—and His presence never leaves you.
