Episode 39--Weird Bible Stories Part Three: Jonah and the Beanstalk

As Erica and Steve continue exploring Bible stories that make us scratch our heads, we explore the lesser-known, but vitally important, second half of the story of Jonah, that ends with an object lesson featuring a bean plant that grows up over night, a divinely-appointed worm, and God's surprising love for the ones labeled "the enemy."  We'll see that the God we meet, not just in Jonah's story, but throughout the Scriptures, has a way of deliberately seeking out those seen as beyond the reach of grace, whether it's Israel's arch-enemy, the people of Nineveh, or those we place on the other side of the line between "us" and "them" in our day, too.  Give it a listen, and join the conversation!
