In this episode of the Press Movement Podcast, we continue our journey through Jonah — this time inside the belly of the fish. Jonah 2 captures one of the most unique prayers in Scripture: a cry of thanksgiving and deliverance from the depths of despair. Jonah had the opportunity to repent on the ship but chose not to. Only when he found himself swallowed by the fish did he finally cry out to God.
Lauren Shepherd joins us to break down this prayer verse by verse, showing how affliction often becomes the turning point that leads us back to God. We discuss how Jonah’s cry wasn’t born out of instant repentance but from affliction, and yet God heard him. This episode explores the importance of crying out to God from wherever you are — even when your “belly of the fish” looks like pain, trauma, or consequences of your own choices.
Discover how gratitude, honesty, and repentance can shift your situation, and why God uses even affliction with purpose — to bring us back into alignment with Him.
