Jonah's Storm: Lessons from the Boat

Sep 15, 2025    Heath Watts, Jonathan Hill

In this powerful discussion, we explore the profound concept of 'who's in your boat' - a metaphor derived from the story of Jonah. Just as Jonah's disobedience caused a storm for everyone on the ship, we're challenged to consider how the people in our lives impact our spiritual journey. The message emphasizes the importance of intentional friendships and surrounding ourselves with those who row in the same direction as us. We're encouraged to identify the 'rowers', 'drifters', and 'anchors' in our lives, understanding that those who align with our values and goals are crucial for our growth. This lesson invites us to reflect on our relationships and make conscious choices about who we allow to influence our spiritual voyage. It's a call to seek out mentors, be open to growth, and courageously distance ourselves from those who may be holding us back. As we navigate life's waters, let's remember that Jesus should be guiding our boat, and we should be rowing beside Him.
