Prehab Your Suffering and Land on Your Feet

When Trouble Comes, You Fall to the Level of Your Preparation
That includes the way you view God's role in suffering. Here's a new thought from Job, and a couple of insights that will help you when trauma, tragedy, and other massive things (TMTs) strike.
(Adapted and expanded from S9E75 Get a Good Theology Around Suffering)
When hard times come, you will be overwhelmed with doubt, fear, and you'll be unsure of what to do next. Unless, that is, you have a good theology in place to answer the inevitable "why" questions. This episode will help you get your head on straight when life hurts.
Scripture: Job 23:8-9, Psalm 139, Psalm 121, Psalm 29, Psalm 143
