Where did life really come from?

It's one of the oldest questions humanity has ever asked. In this episode, we explore the mysteries surrounding our origins, from the beginning of the universe to the information hidden within DNA, and examine some of the clues that have led people to very different conclusions. Along the way, we'll investigate science, history, and faith while wrestling with a question that affects every one of us: Are we here by accident, or on purpose?

Today we’re looking at one of the most well-known accounts in the Bible. One most of us heard first as kids, but don’t often slow down to really think through.

On the surface it can feel simple, even familiar. But when you start paying attention to the details, it opens up bigger questions. History, science, geography, and faith all colliding in one account.

In this episode, we’re not just retelling the story. We’re stepping back and asking what it would actually mean if these details point to something real in history and what kinds of clues people point to when they argue it may have left traces in the world we see today.

Everybody loves a good mystery… especially the ones people say could never have happened.

A man swallowed by a great sea creature.
Three days in the depths.
A storm that changed an entire ship.
A city warned by one reluctant prophet.

For generations, the story of Jonah has been dismissed by many as fiction, symbolism, or mythology. But what if the Bible is not giving us legends… what if it is giving us history?
