A prophet runs from God, gets swallowed by a giant fish, reluctantly preaches to his enemies, then throws a tantrum when they repent. And for some reason, the story ends with God asking Jonah about cattle. What is happening in the book of Jonah, and why does this bizarre tale keep getting weirder?Gabriel and Sonny unpack one of Scripture’s most misunderstood books and reveal why it’s not really about a fish at all—it’s about the shocking scope of God’s mercy.In this episode, we explore:• Why the “big fish” isn’t the point—it’s a demonstration of God’s power over creation• The real reason Jonah fled: he wasn’t afraid of Nineveh, he was afraid God would forgive them• Why Nineveh mattered: these were the Assyrians who would later destroy Israel• The satirical genius of making even the cattle repent in sackcloth• What God’s question about “120,000 persons who do not know their right hand from their left” reveals about His heart• Why this ancient story confronts our modern tendency to limit God’s grace to people like us• How Jonah’s anger exposes our own resistance to enemy-loveFrom Job’s Leviathan to Nineveh’s repenting livestock to God’s final unanswered question, discover why this short book delivers one of Scripture’s most challenging messages: God cares about everyone.Even your enemies. Even people you think don’t deserve it. Even the cows.Join this father-son duo as they explore why Jonah is less about miraculous fish and more about our own hard hearts toward those we’d rather see judged than saved.Perfect for anyone who’s ever struggled to extend grace to the “wrong” people.
