In this week’s episode of The Wholehearted Households Podcast, host Helen Lee introduces us to the books of Jonah, Nahum, and Obadiah, reflecting on how God is able to hold multiple seemingly contradictory approaches toward humanity together in a way that’s entirely consistent with His heart.
Our Bible spotlight focuses on Jonah, Nahum, and Obadiah’s accounts of foreign nations, illustrating how God both protects His chosen people and has great compassion for the outsider.
Then, our discipleship nugget equips you to play out the story of Jonah with your family and to discuss how we never have to hide from God. You and your family will then be invited into a time of prayer journaling as a way to experience God’s desire to be near to each of you.
Finally, our spiritual practice invites you into a time of prayer, where we can ask God for deliverance from oppression and injustice, and seek to align our hearts more toward His.
Wherever you listen, may you and your family be blessed by this episode as you seek to follow Jesus with your whole heart.
