Most everyone knows the Old Testament story of Jonah, but you haven’t heard it until you’ve heard it from the mouth of little Mary-Margaret!
In this episode we'll talk about the Books of Micah and Jonah. The Book of Micah appears to be written in the first person, containing Micah's prophecies and warnings. The Book of Jonah is more story-like, essentially a cautionary tale of how not to act when the Lord commands something. We'll talk about how Micah's background may have helped him better understand the people he served. We'll further discuss how Jonah's disobedient behaviors led to distress, and the distress did not change until he made better choices. We'll talk about how with mental health issues, we need to be accountable and make needed changes if we want to see forward movement.
