About this listen

What happens when a prophet gets pouty? Follow the grumpy prophet Jonah as he stomps out of the city of Nineveh, angry at God for being too kind! As he sulks on a hot, dusty hill, God sends a surprising gift: a beautiful gourd plant that grows in an instant to give him cool, leafy shade, filling Jonah's heart with delight. But just as quickly, a tiny worm arrives to destroy the plant, sending Jonah into a furious tantrum. Join Jonah as he discovers a powerful lesson about what truly matters, learning that God's vast, compassionate love for thousands of people is infinitely greater than one man's fleeting comfort.
