    When You Resent God's Huge Gift Of Mercy to Them | Erika Van Haitsma | Jonah 1

    Why did Jonah run from God’s call—and what does that reveal about our own hearts? In this episode of Live Like It’s True, Erika Van Haitsma joins me to unpack the irony and intensity of Jonah’s story, exposing his deep resentment toward the Ninevites and resistance to God’s mercy.
