Numb and Numb-er

Jonah wasn’t just running from a mission; he was running from feeling. He was numb to Nineveh, bitter toward mercy, and disengaged from his calling. In this four-week series, we’ll trace Jonah’s emotional and spiritual journey as a mirror for our own: a warning against apathy, a call to compassion, and a God who keeps pursuing even when we shut down. Whether it’s burnout, cynicism, or overwhelm, many of us are tempted to numb out. But God’s invitation is to wake up to love again—even when it costs us. Jonah shows us that growth isn’t just about doing what’s right—it’s about letting our hearts break for what breaks God’s.
