Hey everybody, I'm Tim McEy and this is my podcast Exploring My Strange Bible.

I am a card carrying Bible history and language nerd who thinks that Jesus of Nazareth is

utterly amazing and worth following with everything that you have.

On this podcast I'm putting together the last ten years worth of lectures and sermons

where I've been exploring the strange and wonderful story of the Bible and how it invites

us into the mission of Jesus and the journey of faith.

And I hope this can be helpful for you too.

I also help start this thing called the Bible Project.

We make animated videos and podcasts about all kinds of topics in Bible and theology.

You can find those resources at thebibelproject.com.

With all that said, let's dive into the episode for this week.

Alright, we're diving into part four of five in this series exploring the book of Jonah.

This is a teaching series I did back in 2013 when I was a teaching pastor at Door of Hope.

If you haven't listened to parts one through three of this series and the previous podcasts,

I'd recommend you doing that.

In this teaching we're diving into Jonah chapter three, which is the story of Jonah going

very much against his own desires to the city of his ancient enemies, Nineveh, uttering

a very strange five word sermon at which the people of Nineveh, his great enemies, have

a surprising response.

It's a story that explores the meaning of the biblical word repentance, what it does

mean, what it doesn't mean.

And a whole bunch of other things besides, I hope this is helpful for you.
