010 - Jonah, the Relatable Prophet

This episode is a little less Disney (though Mary can’t resist throwing in Pinocchio and Finding Nemo references), and a little more Old Testament. Alexis and Mary talk about Primary Programs, and a classic Bible story with a strangely relatable subject–a dude who runs away, and gets swallowed by a whale.

 

Although we do spend entirely too long discussing fish anatomy and vomit, we also talk about how many of us feel like we are drowning, or that it might be easier to run away or give up, than to get through whatever trials we may be facing. We’ve been there, and we believe that better days are ahead. And as Lexy says, “Sometimes you need a freaking whale to wake up.”

 

Our Better Betty Challenge this week is to think of something hard going on in your life, and figure out what it is trying to teach you. We all find ourselves in the belly of the whale sometimes, and we all need to shift our thoughts to come from a place of abundance, and to look at the bigger picture.

 

We hope you will recognize that dawn is coming, and that you’ll open your eyes.
