Why Jonah Still Speaks to Us About Sharing the Gospel

In this episode of the Reach Podcast, we kick off a three part miniseries with Dr. Mark Yarbrough, president of Dallas Theological Seminary and professor of Bible Exposition. Together they dive into the book of Jonah a story often remembered for its “big fish,” but packed with lessons on God’s heart, human reluctance, and the call to share His message. Dr. Yarbrough sets the historical and literary stage for Jonah, helping us see how this ancient narrative connects directly to our mission of sharing Jesus today. From God’s compassion for all people to our responsibility as grace-recipients, this conversation challenges us to look past the surface and discover what Jonah still teaches us about evangelism, obedience, and grace.
This episode is a reminder to walk with friends through doubt without giving up and trust that God is at work even when the timeline feels long.
