Called, But Not Willing: Jonah’s Surprise Fight With Mercy | Erika Van Haitsma | Jonah 1 - Jonah's Disobedience
Why did Jonah run from God’s call—and what does that reveal about our own hearts?
In this episode of Live Like It’s True, Erika Van Haitsma joins me to unpack the irony and intensity of Jonah’s story, exposing his deep resentment toward the Ninevites and resistance to God’s mercy. Together, we explore how this familiar narrative challenges us to confront our own grudges and ask whether we truly want God to be gracious—to everyone.
