Jonah is one of the most fascinating characters in Scripture—not because of his obedience, but because of his resistance. In this episode of the Press Movement Podcast, we step into Jonah chapter 4 and unpack his raw, emotional prayer after Nineveh repents. Instead of rejoicing, Jonah is angry. He knew God would be merciful, gracious, and slow to anger—and that’s exactly what frustrated him.
Together with guest Ethan White, we dive into the cliffhanger ending of Jonah’s story: a conversation with God that challenges not only Jonah’s motives but also ours. What does it mean to obey God with the wrong heart? Why does God care about why we act, not just what we do? And what happens when our prayers are fueled more by frustration than by faith?
Jonah’s prayer reminds us that God doesn’t just want robotic obedience—He desires transformed hearts that align with His will. Even when our emotions clash with His mercy, God engages us, corrects us, and calls us higher. Join us as we explore this powerful prayer of disagreement and discover how prayer still reaches every single situation.
