In this episode of "I Love to Tell the Story: A podcast on the Narrative Lectionary," Luther Seminary Profs. Kathryn Schifferdecker, Joy J. Moore, and Rolf Jacobson dive deep into the Book of Jonah, exploring its powerful themes of grace, mercy, and the challenge of accepting God's love for everyone—even our enemies. Join us as we unpack Jonah's rebellion against God's command, the humor woven into the narrative, and how this ancient story speaks to us today, especially in the context of recent elections. We'll discuss the importance of embracing God's grace and the call to love those we may consider adversaries.
