I work in a Prison and constantly reference the book of Job. I think it's a great story to tell/teach people that through hardship there can be a light at the end of the hardship it just depends on your perspective and what you do in the now that can determine your outcome

There's an apocryphal tradition within Judaism not so much Christianity that Job ignored direct instructions from God that resulted in the death of hundreds of his fellow Jews so therefore he had to be purified and punished as he was in a position of trust where he was expected to know and act better.

Love that guy.

So happy i found this video. As i get older ive learned that i dont have to reject all modern media if its "not Christian" because through our knowledge of scripture and the holy spirit working in us we can look at these stories and still learn how to draw us closer to the Lord

I remember the first book in the bible I ever read to its full completion was the book of Job.During the beginning of my faith and questioning God and my life and the meaning of my life and the meaning of morals.I tried to set myself free from my sins and tried to rid myself of my guilt.I tried to do good like Job but then I realized that I was just like Job when I read through.I was stubborn so God had to crush my pride and he left me in the dust and shame of my sin for awhile until finally I realized I was at his mercy.I asked God to help me and forgive me and to help me walk with him.That was 8 years ago and im not perfect but i strive for it.

This was a great 'wake up call'-esque warning against slumping into self-righteousness and vainglory, just at the right time! As Christians, we need to stand guard, be vigilant, lest we grow beyond blind and distant than those whom we so casually deem 'lost sheep' In gratitude, brother. Wishing you a wonderful and blessed New Year 2024

I’ve always struggled with the book of Job, but this video puts it into a new light I’ve never even thought of before.

I love this. Daredevil has always been my favorite tv show, but something about his character and relationship with God didn’t sit well with me. This video completely answers my curiosity to truly understanding his story, the story of others, and also my own story. God bless you Holden. I know these videos may take a while to make, but I hope you don’t stop anytime soon. Thanks man.

I really missed this videos, I learn a lot with them. The book of Job has been a really though topic to discuss with my atheist friends, but now I understand a really important detail in the equation: Being proud of our merits can become a trap to our soul. Keep up the amazing work Holden!!

Five years ago my eight year old son passed away then four months later I got fired from my job. Ever since then I've let myself get anxious about everything! I'm constantly saying "What if" instead of saying "Even if". Thank you for this video! God Bless!

I found myself wishing I had found you sooner. Like I needed to hear this sooner. But I know now that God willed me to see this now because this is my mindset. I too compared myself to Job it is my favorite story in the Bible and though I don’t pride myself on being basked in His light in His favor I also feel that I am one step away from losing Him altogether, from losing my way. But always and forever I will trust in His direction and in His guidance. Even with that I will admit that I have been stubborn in that belief because sometimes it doesn’t suit me. I hear God talk and think “No, no that can’t be right”. This has opened my eyes even more though and I’m so very glad I was able to receive this message. I look forward to seeing more of your content. God bless you, and I mean that in the most sincerest way. God bless you.

This is such an interesting take!! I never thought about how Job is performing works rather than being honest at the beginning of the book. I always thought it was crazy how he reacted when he lost all his kids and just said, "God gives and takes away"

I've always found that when I'm more honest towards God than pious I get answers. When we try to hide our true hearts from Him, we truly make ourselves into liars before the Lord

I doubt the writers at Netflix wrote with any care for this level of understanding of the Book of Job as you display here. By that same token, however, few that I have heard at the pulpit have spoken about this with this perspective. Thank you for posting this.

This may be the best retelling/explanation of job I’ve ever heard in my life. And using Daredevil to do it is incredibly brilliant! 👀👀🔥

I was pondering this after watching season 3, as i do not know much about job, and i knew daredevil was wrong about God but i couldn't figure out why... but this video helped me figure out that question and has also brung me further on with my journey of God. Thank you, God bless 😊

I can’t say I’ve ever heard anyone suggest this interpretation for the book of Job. I appreciate it.

I really appreciate this video, in recent years I've fallen into the trap of constantly expecting rewards when I take admittedly small steps in the right direction. I've looked at others and thought of them as undeserving, but that's a pitiful point of view because I'm equally undeserving. It bothers me that even though I know better, I still make the mistake, apologize, ask for forgiveness, and make the same mistake.

The best way to understand the book of Job is to live through it. Which I’ve been doing for the past nine years.

This is a fantastic breakdown of Job using Daredevil! Well done sir.

I've been waiting for you to make a Daredevil video especially since you started this channel, his catholicism make him so unique and so multifaceted as a character. Keep up the good work and Merry Christmas!

Thank you for this channel Holden. I watch your main channel but I was so excited to find this one. I found God through Jesus almost a year ago and I've been so hungry for discussions like this with other Christ followers.

Such a great teaching brother, I've listened to this through twice now, and the first time there were two times I had to pause and listen again because they were such powerful words. The first was when you said, "God didn't use Job as a pawn to win a bet with Satan, but Satan as a pawn to win Job", what a great way of putting it. The other was when you were talking about people saying, "Thank God I'm not like those Mary-worshiping Catholics", man does that hit home, I'm guilty.

Just finished your Daredevil season 3 reactions and loved them and loved this video. Im agnostic now, but believed in a biblical God growing up before having a crisis of faith in my early 20s while battling drug addiction. Which then led me to become athiest for a handful of years and really resenting religion in every way. Im now 34 and over time gradually changed my perspective to Agnostic. I do believe there's something far bigger than us, but dont think anyone could ever really know what it is. So I learned to just live life, do the best I can, accept life for what it is and now can appreciate why religion is a good thing for those who choose it. Which has made my life far more enjoyable. Really enjoy all the stuff you do!

Your comment towards the end about God using satan as a tool to save Job reminded me of one of my favorite verses. ‭‭Romans 11:33-36 NIV Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out! “Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?” “Who has ever given to God, that God should repay them?” For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen.

Thank you so much for all of the content this year Holden. I watch both Pop Culture Christian and your main channel. You are a wonderful Christian man who inspires me, partly because I too love superheroes, fantasy, sci-fi, etc. An honest, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Have a lovely merry Christmas

Im there, ive been there, thank you for this perspective. I have definitely recognized that ive had a lot of pride of being "a good christian" rather than being a man of God. Someone who genuinely desires God is what i strive to be, and hope my heart and perspective on suffering and anxiety(also thank you for the "even if" perspective) will change and will sanctify me. Thanks!

can’t express enough how much I’ve needed this video. first off DD S3 is a true masterpiece. and i’ve always struggled with moralism because it was how i was introduced to God but this year i’ve learned to step away from it and live in grace and find my real relationship with God. this video articulately explains the revelations i’ve learned this year and doing so with the analogy of DD3 makes it one the best things i’ve seen this year. Thank you brother

I absolutely love this channel and idea! I have yet to endeavor toward it, but I may eventually pursue my idea of gleaning Biblical Truths from K-dramas (or you can steal the idea for yourself haha - My Mister has some solid things to pull from among many others). I love when we can be reminded of and turn back to the Scriptures because of movies and other media. Also also- great break down of Job. This was great!

24:12 Holden's preaching right there, I just woke up and find a video analysis on DD and the Book of Job, it's a nice christmas gift. Merry Christmas Holden, to you and your loved ones.

Funny enough, I'm a catholic myself and Daredevil helped me strengthen my faith. I was raised in this, never forced into it, but I never really took it upon myself to understand the faith on a deeper level. I had a very surface level knowledge of the Church and the Bible, despite years of "practice." Daredevil was favorite show of mine since it came out, and him being such a conflicted Catholic helped me relate. When Season 3 came out, I didn't know how much I related, and when he mentions Job, I really started to think. I had heard about the story but never gave it deep thought. A few years later, my life got harder. In COVID, it got to the point where I began to question my faith, and began to start over and learn it for real, or if I even wanted to be a Catholic. I realized how little of the Bible I actually knew, and started with research on the book that I did know, Job. That is a very hard place to get introduced to God, but it was needed. I hated it, and I didn't understand what I was reading until I started reading the other Wisdom Books and the Gospels. Job began to make more sense to me, and eventually I came to love the book. After a while, I did understand more about the faith I was raised in, and I found my own way to it with my own reasons. Largely due to my experience with this exact topic. This show, and the character, stook with me through this, and seeing Matt struggle was something I'd watch when I felt alone in my struggles too. And seeing him return to his faith felt so much better when I had too. Great video, God bless you.

Just the kind of video essays I’ve been looking for 🔥

This video taught me a lot

Thank you, sir. Important message to hear. Especially for me.

I'm glad for this. Most videos on KZread talking about Double D's faith are very surface level but this one was very well done.

Really interesting take on Job that I haven’t heard before. It’s an endlessly fascinating book with different ways to approach it. One of the most compelling to me is in how it works in dialogue with other wisdom literature of the Old Testament, namely Proverbs and Ecclesiastes. Proverbs presents this almost karmic view of the world where the equation of “Good God + Good Works = Good Life” is always true, but Ecclesiastes and especially Job show how reality is much more complicated and unfathomable than that. It’s not refuting the wisdom of Proverbs but it is calling the reader to a deeper humility before God and creation.
