Have you ever so blatantly disobeyed God that you actually did the opposite of what God told you to do?

Pastor & author, Steve Norman of Winning at Home, joins us to talk about what we can learn about God and about ourselves from the story of Jonah in the Bible.

God told Jonah to go to Nineveh and warn them to turn from their sin but Jonah rebelled and ran the other direction. He hated the Ninevites!

As Jonah was running we see how God used even Jonah’s disobedience to turn others toward him when the pagan sailors began to worship the true God.

God’s compassion is enough for all of us—Jonah experienced compassion in the belly of a fish even though he was running from his mission. And Ninevah experienced compassion through Jonah’s preaching even though he still longed for the people to be destroyed!  

Then, in the day in and day out we may not see transformation, but God is working. Shawna’s friend Cheryl realized how she was different from who she used to be when she took a road trip to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.  

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by your love for God? Todd, a listener, texted to share with us an incredible moment he had with the Lord – a moment that made him want to burst into dance!

Then Perry shares, “There are moments when something will trigger a painful memory of one of my worst sins.” That happened to Perry last week. He shares his default mode to deal with the shame. Maybe you’ll relate.
