Friendship isn’t always easy.. especially in seasons of pain, waiting, or loss. In this episode, the Known trio talks about what it looks like to walk with friends through hard times without carrying what only God can. Through the story of Job, we’re reminded that the greatest gift we can offer is to point our friends back to Jesus. Honest, gospel-centered, and full of hope, this conversation will encourage you to love others like Christ, even when life feels heavy.

Women of the Word- Ruth and Naomi. A story you’ve heard before, but probably not quite like this. In this episode, the Known trio goes through the book of Ruth with an eye turned to the cultural context of the story and what it means for Naomi specifically. Gospel-focused and redemptive minded, this book tells us more about the God of Israel-our God today- than you see at first glance. Listen in to learn more about Him and these Kingdom-building women.https://enduringword.com/bible-commentary/ruth-3/

Today the Known trio is joined by Neil Silverberg. Having been in full-time ministry for over 50 years, Neil Silverberg has served as Senior Pastor, Bible teacher, author, and cofounder of Masterbuilders, an organization that provides leadership training and church oversight to a network of New Testament churches throughout the U.S. His Jewish heritage as well as his dedication to Biblical study have contributed to his unique ability to illuminate the Old Testament as the basis for understanding the New. He has authored several books and been a father to four generations of pastors and church leaders through his one-on-one discipling and mentoring. He’s also Hannah’s father-in-law 😉. In this episode he answered questions about reading and understanding the Old Testament through a Jewish and scholarly lens. Brooke, Hannah, and Mackenzie peppered him with questions about all things OT and his answers will make you think AND make you go read your Bible.
