Answers to the Big Questions of Life, Genesis and Job, part three
In this final lesson in the Genesis and Job series, we explore three important questions: What about people who have never heard of Jesus? Why do innocent people suffer? How can we help people who are suffering?
Through the story of Job and examples throughout the Bible, we see that God is at work in ways we often cannot see or fully understand. We learn that God does not relate to us on a simple transactional basis where obedience guarantees earthly prosperity. Instead, God is sovereign, spiritual warfare is real, suffering can serve purposes beyond our understanding, and God’s ultimate plans extend into eternity. We are called to trust Him, help others with kindness and wisdom, and maintain an eternal perspective in both suffering and service.

Truly upsetting facts about Bible literacy and a reminder that Bible805 can help
My purpose in Bible805 is to help you know, trust, apply, and teach the Bible.
I know personally from many years of teaching how little many people in our world today know nothing about the Bible, but even then, though I deal with this all the time, I was shocked with the results of these studies that were done last year in 2025. The two studies that both measured current Bible literacy in the U.S. are:
A 2025 study by the National Bible Literacy Project
The 2025 State of the Bible by the American Bible Society
Below I’ll share 6 facts from the studies and then a few closing comments. You can either listen to them, or read them below the podcast.

In addition to this website and YouTube, the podcasts are also available on many podcast sources including iTunes, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pocket Casts, and many more. Just go to your favorite and search for whatever podcast title below that you’d like to listen to. In addition, you can listen to any of them on www.YouTube.com/Bible805. Following are links to and descriptions of the current podcasts from Bible805.
Bible805, Basic Bible teaching, difficult subjects made easy
Description: This podcast drives the weekly content of the Bible805 ministry, where, in weekly lessons I take sometimes difficult topics in the Bible or that are Bible-related and make them easy to understand and apply.
I’ve become more intentional in this approach, as many students told me in various ways “You make hard stuff easy.” I’ve got an upcoming, revised series on the Trinity (see the 2026 schedule for release dates) and you can check it out to see if that works for you. Lesson series for 2026 include: Genesis and Job, Answers to the Big Questions of Life, The Trinity, Life after Death, Jesus, Salvation, and Discipleship, How We Got Our Bibles and more.
Schedule: The podcast airs each Wednesday on the podcast channels. By Friday of each week, links to videos, notes, discussion guides, and related infographics on are posted on www.Bible805.com, and free editable source materials that enable you to teach the lessons are available on www.Bible805Academy.com. Past lessons are available on both.

Clarifying the purpose of Bible805 and its part in the Great Conversation
The Great Conversation is my term for the combined teachings of all followers of Jesus as we attempt to share Him with our world. I believe it’s important to clarify the place of Bible805 in all the other options you have for learning the Bible, for those of you using my resources so there are no unrealistic expectations.
To do that, I’ll first clarify what I mean by the Great Conversation and then what I believe is my part and the part of Bible805 in it. Below is the podcast and then the text of it.
The importance of understanding the Great Conversation
Genesis & Job, Answers to the Big Questions of Life, Part Two
This lesson continues our study of the Big Questions of Life by examining answers found in Genesis and Job. We learn that God is our Creator and therefore the foundation for our purpose and meaning in life. We also gain a clearer understanding of Satan—his origin, limitations, and methods of deception. Finally, Job provides one of the Bible’s earliest and clearest affirmations of life after death and bodily resurrection, giving believers hope that extends beyond this life. Through Job’s experiences, we are reminded that God remains sovereign, even in suffering, and that our ultimate future is secure in Him.
