Jonah Part 2: The Fish Was Grace?! | God’s Mercy for Everyone (Even Them)

Today on the Shepnaz Podcast, Pastor Zack is joined by Kevin as they dive into Part 2 of Jonah’s story—and uncover a powerful truth many people miss. We often think Jonah is just about obedience… but what if it’s really about God’s overwhelming grace? From the storm… to the fish… to Nineveh’s repentance… and Jonah’s anger—this episode challenges us to rethink how we view God’s mercy, especially toward people we struggle to love. 👉 Key takeaway: God’s grace isn’t just for you—it’s for everyone. 💬 Who in your life have you written off that God still loves? 🙏 About Shepherd Church: We’re all about helping people grow in faith, live with purpose, and experience the love of Jesus. 🌐 Learn more: https://shepnaz.org 🎧 More episodes: https://shepnaz.org/podcast 📩 Have questions or feedback?
