What does it mean to fear the Lord? Emma Dotter is joined by Bethany Malone as she connects the description of the storms in Job 37 to Jesus and calming the storm in Matthew 8. Bethany reminded listeners of the Timothy Keller quote, “To fear the Lord is to be overwhelmed with wonder before the greatness of God and his love.” Bethany’s challenge to listeners is to use your personal testimony to share the character of God.

Show notes

Does our actions have anything to do with the suffering experienced? Is it all random, or is there a cause? Today, Hannah Staubs interviews Watermark staff member, Emily Hope to answer this question. Although in suffering our circumstances continually change, a study of God’s character can comfort us because his character does not change.

S3:077 Job 31 Apr 22, 2024

Show notes

In Job 31, Emma Dotter & Brent Buuemi ask the question: “How to keep up spiritual morale in dry season.” Brent compares suffering to having our face pressed against stained glass. Oftentimes we see the shattered glass and not the full picture. Brent & Emma talk to both types of listeners: those who have experienced severe suffering, and some maybe haven’t. Brent encourages us to solidify our beliefs before the trial that we experience so that when we are in the trial we are ready.

S3:076 Job 30 Apr 19, 2024

Show notes

Suffering is designed by the enemy to destroy our faith, but God’s design for suffering is to strengthen our faith. So how do we have this perspective of suffering? In today’s podcast, Emma Dotter is joined by a faithful Watermark Member George Dalton to unpack this question. George leaves us with this thought, “I welcome the scalpel of the Spirit to continue to cut away the ugly dross in my heart so I can see God and be an effective tool in His hand.”

S3:075 Job 29 Apr 18, 2024

However, something we see throughout Scripture is that suffering and hardships are what lead to intimate friendship with God. Emma Dotter and faithful Watermark Member Emily Hill unpack these truths and more in today’s Join the Journey Podcast.
