Sober is Dope!

Welcome to the Sober is Dope Podcast with your host, POP Buchanan. This episode is about faith, an not losing hope when things fall apart. Inspired by the Book of Job, this short episode calls us to learn from our Rock Bottom experiences. Thank to to Alan Smith from Bible Hub for your summary of the Book of Job, and Dead can Dance for this amazing song.

The world, however, did not wait But soon observed what followed on It's courage that had brought him to that state How fortunate the man with none You heard of honest Socrates The man who never lied They weren't so grateful as you'd think Instead the rulers fixed to have him tried And handed him the poisoned drink How honest was the people's noble son The world, however, did not wait But soon observed what followed on It's honesty that brought him to that state How fortunate the man with none Here you can see respectable folk Keeping to God's own laws So far he hasn't taken heed You who sit safe and warm indoors Help to relieve out bitter need How virtuously we had begun The world, however, did not wait But soon observed what followed on It's fear of God that brought us to that state How fortunate the man with none
