If you’ve ever wondered why bad things happen to good people, you’re not alone. The Book of Job is basically the biblical deep dive into that question. It’s not a light read—it’s a story about a guy who has everything, loses everything, and then spends most of the book trying to figure out why.

Job isn’t just some random guy, but a picture of righteousness. He’s got wealth, a big family, and a solid reputation. Then, in what feels like the worst bet in history, Satan challenges God, claiming that Job is only faithful because life is good. God allows Satan to test Job, and in a rapid downward spiral, Job loses his fortune, his kids, and even his health. And that’s when the real struggle begins.

The Book of Job isn’t about easy solutions. It doesn’t wrap everything up with a neat little bow. Instead, it wrestles with faith in the hardest moments of life—when things are unfair when the answers don’t come, and when trusting God feels impossible.
