What is going on in Job’s life to make him respond in such a hopeless, angry way? What might the parallels be between Job’s life and the lives of some of our youth? (And: How might our youth answer this second question differently from the way we do, having different eyes with which to see?)
What is good about Job’s lamentation? How is it a word of despair and a word of faith at the same time?
It is widely believed that Job’s story is not historical fact. What might our youth still connect with, even if it is more parabolic?
What is the role of the community in the story of Job (at least, in this section of it)? How might we be present to our youth, and our youth to one another, in the midst of depression?
