When Life Falls Apart: Learning from Jonah's Storms


Listen Later

In this powerful conclusion to our Minor Prophets series, we tackle a sobering truth: it's not if crisis will come, but when. Through Jonah's story, we discover that while God offers second chances, many of us fail to learn from our struggles.

Did you know that most heart attack survivors don't change their lifestyle, even after such a wake-up call? This episode explores why change is so difficult and how to recognize different types of crises in our lives:

  • Natural consequences of our choices
  • God-sent storms (like Jonah's)
  • Loving roadblocks that prevent worse outcomes
  • Life's inevitable breakdowns

We'll discuss:

  • The purpose of regular self-reflection
  • Why some struggles might be divine intervention
  • How to avoid falling back into old patterns
  • The limited nature of second chances
  • Learning to debrief your own life

Join us for this challenging final message that asks: Are you learning from your struggles, or are you, like Jonah, wasting your opportunities for growth?

Part of our concluding episode in The Minors series.
