Friends, the Book of Jonah is one of the shortest books of the Bible, yet it’s packed with profound truths about hearing and obeying the voice of God. On today’s episode of “The Word on Fire Show,” Brandon Vogt and I discuss this powerful little book.

A listener asks, why did Jesus show up when he did and not at a different point in time? What would the world look like had he showed up later, or not at all?

  • I am a 25 year old man who was raised Roman Catholic. I strayed from God in my adolescents. I have recently come back. I’ve always considered myself a seeker of truth and the further I sought truth, the more God became obviously true. I thank Bishop Barron because he is helping me on my path. God bless anyone that reads this, and I hope that if you haven’t found God he will allow himself to find you.

    As Chaldean/Assyrian Christian from Northern Iraq, we love this book and we fast for 3 days every year called Baotha or fasting of Nineveh followed by most Eastern Churches

    Thank you for all your warmth, intelligence, and enthusiasm, Brandon. I wish you every blessing in your chosen focus on the publishing wing of Word on Fire. While you will be missed, I'm sure it was a prayerfully guided discernment, and I look forward to you being back as a guest. You and Bishop Baron have been a great team.
