Have you ever felt far from God, distressed and overwhelmed? The story of Jonah teaches us how we can find our way back to God.

In this conversation, Pastors Philip and Eric relate Jonah's distress in the belly of the fish to our need for redemption today. Key questions include:

1. How can distress feed our faith? (1:42)
2. How does scripture help us anchor our soul? (5:23)
3. Why does Jonah say that he expect to see God in the temple? (8:38)
4. How do we make idols out of good things? (12:22)
5. How do we know if we’ve put our idols above God? (18:12)
6. How can we pray, like Jonah, that "Thanksgiving, sacrifice, and salvation belongs to the Lord"? (20:10)
7. If we've been running away from God, how do we yield and rededicate ourselves to the Lord? (22:44)
