Why does bad news land, over and over, on some of the most faithful people? Dr. Marcus Martins joins Hank and John to examine the Book of Job, and shows why Job’s friends fail even as they try to comfort him, why presence matters more than explanations; some answers to suffering, they conclude only come with eternal perspective.
