But the part we often forget to zoom in on is where Jonah sits outside Nineveh, furious that God showed the people mercy.\nIn this episode, Pastor Quintin Betteridge joins us to unpack one of the Bible's most reluctant prophets. We talk about what Jonah's story reveals about the limits we place on God's grace, why it's easier to receive mercy than to extend it and what it looks like when our image of God is shaped more by culture than by Scripture. Quintin also draws on his experience growing up in apartheid South Africa to explore what it really means to love people we'd rather God just judged.\nBuy the book here \nGet 10% off with the code 'Record' ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/mejZDoNzL9cwNf5M0Ggzd_NiXfnl5pWuamX947Ix9Ao/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9lZTcz/YTJkNGIxNDU0MzE3/NjgzMzg0MmU0Y2E0/MGQ4OS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
