Job 3: A Cry from the Ashes

Thy Strong Word from KFUO Radio

In one of Scripture's most emotionally raw passages, we witness the moment when Job's legendary patience transforms into profound lament. His words don't just express grief; they paint a poetic masterpiece of suffering, where darkness battles light, where the peace of death seems sweeter than the torment of life, and where the fundamental question of human existence hangs heavy in the air: Why was I born to suffer?

The Rev. John Shank, pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church in Edwardsville, IL, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Job 3.

Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God’s Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.
