The question of Jonah is not simply whether we believe in God’s mercy. It is whether we want God’s mercy to reach people we would rather keep outside of it.

God provided the fish. God commanded the fish. Everything in between is the story of a God whose love reaches into the depths—not to condemn but to rescue.

If you’re familiar with the Bible, you’ve probably heard the story of Jonah. Jonah’s story is unusual, but it’s not unique. Sometimes, what God is asking us to do seems risky, undesirable, or just unfair… so we run. Our experience when we run from God may not be as dramatic as Jonah’s, but running is always riskier than surrender.

Healthy relationships aren’t built on rules, but they can’t survive without a particular one. And it’s a rule that removes every loophole.

The secret to stronger relationships isn’t being understood, but choosing to put someone else first, even when they don’t deserve it.

Every conflict feels like it’s about what someone else did, but the real source runs deeper and it’s hard to admit.

The cross showed God’s love. The resurrection proved God’s power.

The gap between skepticism and faith starts to close when Christianity is viewed through the lens of history. In this conversation with Andy Stanley and John Dickson, the story of Jesus is presented as something meant to be investigated, not avoided.

Jesus regularly challenged people’s assumptions about both wealth and eternity, and when he did so it revealed that the way we handle what’s temporary points to what we truly believe is permanent.

Many people experience faith primarily as something they attend or consume. But the moments that deepen faith most often come when we begin giving it away.
