Ep. 28 The Story of Jonah: A Man’s Guide to Courage and Calling

Most men know what it feels like to run. To dodge responsibility. To numb out instead of stepping up. To head for Tarshish when God’s calling us to Nineveh.

In this episode of The Alpha Edge Podcast, we dive deep into the story of Jonah - not as a kid’s fish tale, but as a mirror for modern men. Jonah’s rebellion, his storms, his rock-bottom moment, and his second chance all point to one truth: you can’t outrun God.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

• Who Jonah really was - and why God’s call to Nineveh was like asking a man to walk into the lion’s den.
• Nineveh’s brutality - a city infamous for skinning enemies alive and stacking skulls at their doorsteps.
• Jonah’s escape plan - why he bolted 2,500 miles in the opposite direction and what that says about our own “Tarshish moments.”
• The storm and the fish - how God uses discipline not to destroy us, but to redirect us.
• The second chance - proof that failure doesn’t cancel your calling.
• Nineveh’s response - how one man’s obedience can change the destiny of an entire city.
• Jonah’s bitterness - and God’s reminder that true strength must be paired with mercy.
• The application for today’s man - naming your Nineveh, burning your Tarshish ticket, and stepping into obedience with courage and clarity.

Whether you’re facing a hard conversation, a hidden sin, or a calling you’ve been running from, Jonah’s story offers a wake-up call - stop running. Face your Nineveh. That’s where your strength, purpose, and freedom are waiting.

Listen now to discover how Jonah’s ancient story can radically reshape your walk as a man of courage, conviction, and calling.
