How is being unmarried truly a gift? Why do we feel like it really isn't? Even if we think it is, why do most of us not want it for ourselves? How do married and the unmarried value one another and use their gifts to build one another up? Using 1 Corinthians 7, Brooklyn wrestles with these questions in this talk.

In Job 42:7 God says that Job spoke rightly of him while his friends did not. But it is Job who spoke the harshest things about God. How can that be?
Zach opens and closes; but in between, 4 YAs (Dylan, Jared, Nicolette, and Caitlyn) share what their table groups discovered about Job's speech about God that rendered him right and his friends wrong and what that has to teach us for when we ourselves are in the midst of suffering.
