C.S. Lewis famously said, “Pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pains. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.” But if we’re not listening to His voice, suffering will lie to you.

Admit it, you yourself have wondered about a fish swallowing a dude and all that, right? The good news is that being an ambassador or Christian casemaker doesn’t mean you have to check your brain at the door. We don’t often match the Bible read-through and the apologetics segments, but Jonah’s a well-known story and we should be prepared.
Questions to ask: How do I talk to someone addicted to their phone? Insight from @RZIMhq's @NathanGBetts
The world is noisier than it has ever been. And as a guy who has taught people how to communicate with technology, it has often grieved me that a contemporary response to the noisy world is to simply complain about “kids who don’t look up from their phones.” There has to be a better way to approach this, and that’s one aspect of yesterday’s session with RZIM’s Nathan Betts that was refreshing.
