What happens when you’re not the one suffering—but you’re watching someone you love suffer deeply? In this episode of The Wisdom Journey, Stephen Davey examines Job 2:9-10 and shifts the spotlight to Mrs. Job, a woman who endures the unbearable pain of secondhand suffering. Often criticized for her brief, emotional words—“Curse God and die”—Mrs. Job is too easily misunderstood.

Stephen takes a compassionate look at this grieving wife and mother who has lost everything, including her ten children, financial security, and her husband’s health. She isn’t heartless—she’s heartbroken. And her honest, desperate words reflect what many people feel when watching someone they love suffer.

This episode explores the emotional toll of caregiving, the silent burden of bystanders, and the deep theological truths that sustain us through secondhand suffering. You’ll also learn why Job’s gentle rebuke may have been the moment his wife needed to reset her faith.

Whether you’re walking through personal pain or supporting someone who is, this lesson will encourage you to trust the God who holds both of you in His hands—even in the ashes.

Stephen Davey's newest book, The Disciples Prayer, is available now. https://www.wisdomonline.org/store/view/the-disciples-prayer-hardback
