The Hush of Heaven (Job 8-10)
About this Episode
What do you do when life falls apart and God seems silent? In this powerful episode from The Wisdom Journey, Stephen Davey walks through Job chapters 8–10 and explores Job’s increasing agony—not just from suffering, but from God’s apparent absence.
As Job’s friends take turns offering “counsel,” their assumptions only make things worse. Bildad joins the conversation, harshly blaming Job’s children for their own deaths and insisting that Job’s suffering must be his own fault. Stephen unpacks why their advice fails and how common this misapplied theology still is today.
Yet, amid the noise and confusion, Job poses a timeless question: “How can a person be right with God?” His longing for an advocate—someone to bridge the gap between man and God—echoes through the ages. Stephen shows how Job’s cry finds its answer in the New Testament: Jesus Christ is the Mediator Job longed for.
If you’ve ever wrestled with despair, or wondered how to respond to a suffering friend, this episode will bring clarity, compassion, and encouragement to your heart.
