Jonah's call is clear, from the very first verses of the book: "Go at once to that great city and cry out against it." While we tend to think of this book as the story of a man being swallowed by a whale (which it's not, because it was just a big fish, not a whale!), this story is an invitation for us all to see ourselves as Jonah, reluctant to go where God is calling, seeing the world through our implicit biases, and hopefully open to a God who goes out of bounds to show love and mercy even upon our enemies.

Pull up a chair and listen in and Rev. Adriene Thorne and Rev. Jim Keat talk about this Sunday's Narrative Lectionary Text and explore its impications for our lives and our world, especially on this side of the election.
