Have you ever wondered how we got the story of Jonah?

What kind of auto-biography highlights the worst moments of its own author?

Jonah is the story of a prophet who was willing to see God's mercy reach anyone...but them.

But he ultimately realized that God's Mercy was needed by everyone...including him.

This is the story of a prodigal prophet who realizes that spiritual authority doesn't come from criticism, but from confession.

And his invitation is to stop hiding from the brokenness within us by focusing on the brokenness around us.

Because the things that are never confessed can never be transformed.

And the need for transformation starts with us.
