Live Like It's True {Bible Podcast}
When You Resent God's Huge Gift Of Mercy to Them | Erika Van Haitsma | Jonah 1
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
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.
