Jonah, The Reluctant Leader - Part 6 With John Antonucci

In this episode of the Patros Podcast, Man Up CEO Jeff Ford and co-host Allan Pereira are joined by Pastor John Antonucci of The Church at Channelside as they continue our series, Jonah: The Reluctant Leader—a deep dive into the book of Jonah that explores biblical masculinity. This episode unpacks Jonah 3:4-5, where Jonah delivers a short but powerful message that leads to an entire city repenting.

What You’ll Learn:

- Can we evangelize just by our actions, or do we need words? (What Jonah teaches us about evangelism)

- The symbolism behind 40 days and what it reveals about God’s character - Jonah’s 7-word message—was it really that short? How was it enough?

- Does street evangelism work? How should we share the gospel in today’s culture?

- Our role in preaching vs. God’s role in saving

Plus, Pastor John shares his powerful testimony—how a past brain cancer diagnosis changed the way he sees the world and how his church plant now overlooks the very hospital where he once questioned the length of his life.

Don’t miss this deep and thought-provoking conversation.

What is Patros? Patros is a one-of-a-kind discipleship tool that challenges men to confront fatherlessness by embracing God's view of masculinity.
