Show Notes
Anna and Matt talk fishing with their friend Rick the Fisherman and dive into the story of Jonah and the big fish.

God showed mercy to Jonah…and to the whole city of Nineveh.

🏙️ Mercy for Nineveh: God gave the people of Nineveh a second chance instead of destroying them.
✝️ Mercy for Us: Jesus took the punishment for sin so we can be forgiven and brought into God’s family.
