Life with Lisa Harper

In this Episode, Lisa walks through some lessons in the book of Job, while revisiting some of the painful seasons in her own story.

She contends that even though we don't always understand, we can always trust that God is a Good God, and that Godly grief does not demand an audience or applause.This episode was recorded at Elevation Church in Charlotte, North Carolina.For a deeper look into the book of Job, Lisa has a Bible Study and DVD Series entitled Job: A Story of Unlikely Joy.
