The story of Jonah is usually taught as proof that God’s patience has limits — that when people cross the line, judgment is inevitable. But a closer look reveals something radically different. Jonah wasn’t running from an angry God… he was running from a merciful one.

In this episode, we unpack how the Jonah narrative reframes divine “wrath” altogether:

• Jonah wanted destruction — God wanted transformation

• The word “overthrown” can mean ruined or redeemed

• Nineveh becomes a picture of mercy, not massacre

• Jesus Himself points back to Nineveh as a witness against our fear of grace

This teaching is Part Two in the From Wrath to Wonder series, exploring how the Gospel shifts us from seeing God as a threat to seeing Him as relentless love. If you’ve ever wrestled with the angry-God narratives in Scripture, this conversation will break something open in you.

Listen in — and maybe you’ll never read Jonah the same way again.
