Interruptions. They're aggravating. Sometimes infuriating. But how we handle interruptions actually tells us more about ourselves. What do we do when God interrupts our lives? Many times, like Jonah, we run!

Video Sessions:

• Session 1: (41:46)--Like Jonah, we too have an interrupted life. When we see God's action as divine intervention rather than life interruption, we begin to experience the significant life God has for us.
• Session 2: (47:58)--Priscilla shows how the interrupted life is also a challenging life. If God has called you to it, He will equip you for it and give you the strength to handle the challenge.
• Session 3: (32:19)--In this session we find Jonah sitting in the belly of the fish calling out to God. Priscilla reminds us that divine interruptions have a way of shaking us, but God desires to respond to us in our time of need.
• Session 4: (34:33)--After Jonah has been released from the belly of the fish, the Lord speaks to the prophet again. Priscilla reminds us we serve the God who gives us second chances.
• Session 5: (42:02)--Jonah finally responds in obedience to go and preach God's message to the Ninevites. Like Jonah, you will find God's divine anointing and see supernatural results when you respond to His movement.
• Session 6: (36:49)--In this session we see Jonah become angry with God because of the grace He offers the Ninevites. Priscilla unpacks how God is gracious and has your best interests in mind even in frustrating and upsetting circumstances.
• Session 7: (7:07)--In this short session Priscilla concludes the study of Jonah with some questions and discussion about what we do as a result of the truth we have heard.
