In the final part of The Happy Life, we look at Jonah and discover that sometimes the greatest thing standing between us and the joy God has for us isn’t our circumstances; it’s the “shade” we’ve created ourselves. Bitterness, resentment, unforgiveness, judgment, pride, and the need to be right can feel like protection, but eventually they begin to blind and restrict us. Jonah watched an entire city turn toward God, yet he was too consumed with anger to celebrate what God was doing. This message challenges us to examine what we’re holding onto, step out of our own shade, release what has kept us stuck, and choose the light, grace, restoration, and joy God is offering.
