Jerks of the Bible: Part One

Kerrye and Jill dive into the book of Jonah, exploring why this biblical prophet might actually be one of the biggest jerks in the Bible.

The hosts break down each chapter with humor and insight, discussing the wickedness of Nineveh, the significance of the big fish (not whale!), and how sometimes you need to throw people out of your boat. Plus, they explore what it means when God uses imperfect people for His purposes and why Jonah's honest prayers from the belly of a fish teach us about authentic communication with God. Whether you grew up in church or are new to Bible stories, this episode brings fresh perspective to a familiar tale while asking the important question: are we sometimes the Jonah in our own story?
