Have you ever felt like you were drowning in doubt? The feeling of having no solid ground beneath you is a core experience of faith deconstruction, and it's a feeling captured perfectly in Psalm 69. For centuries, we've been told to believe in a God who requires blood sacrifice and punishes those who question. But what if that's not the whole story?In this talk, we dive into the deep waters of Psalm 69 and show how its themes of betrayal and suffering are mirrored in the story of a very unlikely prophet: Jonah. But we're not just here to talk about a Bible story. We're here to talk about you. We'll explore how Jonah's decision to run wasn't an act of disobedience, but an act of denial—and how his spiritual journey can teach us about our own.Join us as we challenge traditional views on Jesus' resurrection, reframing it not as an act of appeasement, but as a promise that a spiritual rebirth is possible, even after the death of your old faith. This isn't about guaranteed salvation; it's about reclaiming a purpose-filled life. It’s about leaving behind a natural-level faith of judgment and control and finding a deeper, more authentic spiritual foundation.00:00 Introduction to Psalm 69 and Its Messianic Connections01:22 Jonah's Connection to Psalm 6901:59 The Sign of Jonah and Jesus' Resurrection02:32 Jonah's Mission and Its Implications03:56 Jesus' Resurrection: A Different Perspective05:13 Jonah's Embodiment of Israel's Errors07:12 Natural vs. Spiritual Life09:59 The Spiritual Life: Beyond Natural Tendencies13:58 Invitation to Reflect on Psalm 69, Luke 11, and JonahHave you found us on other platforms?
