The story of Jonah is probably one of the most well-known in all of scripture. Right up there with Noah and his ark, it has been played out on flannel graphs in Sunday School rooms countless times. It's likely that as you read this description, you could recount the major elements of the story of Jonah and the big fish. But, do you know the whole story?

To kick off 2025, we are starting a brand-new series studying the book of Jonah. Each week, we will study one of its four chapters – discovering together how the lessons that Jonah learned are lessons we might need, too. Listen in as Lydia Miller shares how our good and loving God pursues runaways like Jonah, and runaways like you and me.
