Will You Trust God Enough to Step Out of the Boat? - Deepen with Pastory Joby Martin: Matthew S8E3 Nov 09, 2026

Show notes

What if the storm you’re facing is the very place God is growing your faith?

In this episode of the Deepen Podcast, Pastor Joby and the team explore Matthew 14 and Peter’s call to step out of the boat. Through the disciples’ encounter with Jesus on the water, we see how God uses difficult seasons to deepen our dependence on Him and teach us to trust His voice over our fear.

The conversation unpacks God’s sovereignty, the difference between conviction and condemnation, and the courage it takes to obey when the outcome is uncertain. As we continue our Neighbors to Nations journey, we’re challenged to consider what stepping out in faith looks like in our giving, growing and going.

What would you do for the glory of God if you knew it wouldn’t fail, and what’s stopping you?

What Does It Mean to Put God First? - Matthew S8E2 Nov 02, 2026

Show notes

What does the Bible really say about money, tithing, and generosity?

In this episode of Deepen, Pastors Joby Martin, Ryan Britt, and Jonathan Vinke continue the conversation from week two of Neighbors to Nations, unpacking what it means to honor God with our finances.

From finding security and satisfaction in money to experiencing the freedom of biblical generosity, they explore why giving is about more than finances. It's about trusting God, surrendering our hearts, and putting Jesus first.

Are You Making Disciples? - Matthew S8E1 Oct 26, 2026

Show notes

The Great Commission is not just a command for the church. It is a calling for every follower of Jesus.

In Matthew 28:18–20, Jesus commands His disciples to go and make disciples of all nations. But what does it actually mean to make disciples, and are we living in obedience to that calling?

In this episode of the Deepen Podcast, Pastor Joby Martin and Pastor Ryan Britt unpack the Great Commission and the heart behind Neighbors to Nations, The Church of Eleven22's two-year discipleship journey.

From the difference between being a fan of Jesus and a true follower to the importance of evangelism, obedience and biblical discipleship, this conversation challenges us to move beyond simply knowing God's Word to living it out. Through personal stories from the mission field, they explore why making disciples is not just about reaching others but also about deepening our own dependence on Christ.

Jesus has been given all authority in heaven and on earth, and He promises to be with us as we carry out His mission. We are not called to make disciples through our own strength, but to faithfully declare and demonstrate the gospel as God works through us.

The question is not whether you have a role in the Great Commission, but whether you are willing to surrender and obey.

Why the Resurrection Changes Everything - Matthew S7E4 Oct 19, 2026

Show notes

Why does the resurrection of Jesus matter, and what does the empty tomb mean for our faith today?

In this episode of Deepen, Pastor Joby Martin, Pastor Jonathan Vinke, and Pastor Matt explore Matthew 28 and the historical, spiritual, and eternal significance of Jesus' resurrection.

From the evidence surrounding the empty tomb to the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy, we unpack why the resurrection is the foundation of the Christian faith. Through the eyewitness accounts, the transformation of the early church, and the promises fulfilled through Christ, we are reminded that the gospel is not simply about Jesus' death, but His victory over sin and death.

We also discuss the difference between believing that Jesus rose from the dead and placing our faith in Him, the importance of living with both reverence and joy, and what it means to follow a risen Savior.

Because Jesus is alive, we can trust His promises, walk in freedom, and live with the hope of eternal life.

Josh Howerton on Staying Faithful When the World Pushes Back - Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin Oct 14, 2026

Show notes

What does it look like to stay faithful to Jesus when the world pushes back?

In this special episode of Deepen, Pastor Joby Martin sits down with his friend Pastor Josh Howerton of Lakepointe Church for an honest conversation about faith, leadership and what God is doing in the Church today.

Following Jesus isn't about building a platform, gaining approval or avoiding opposition. It's about staying rooted in God's Word, trusting Him with the results and being willing to go wherever He calls.

Whether you're leading a church, a family or simply trying to follow Jesus more faithfully, this conversation will challenge you to examine what you're building your life on and ask yourself: Am I seeking the approval of people or the approval of God?

Is Jesus Really Worth It? - Matthew S7E3 Oct 12, 2026

Show notes

What does it really mean to surrender your life to Jesus, and is following Him worth the cost?

As we continue through Matthew 27, Pastor Joby Martin, Pastor Ryan Britt and Pastor Jonathan Vinke unpack the trial and crucifixion of Jesus, examining the choices of Pilate, Peter and Judas. Each faced a defining moment, reminding us that knowing about Jesus is not the same as surrendering to Him.

Through Peter's denial and restoration, we see that failure does not have to be final. Through Pilate's fear of losing control, we are challenged to consider what we are willing to surrender to follow Christ. And through the cross, we are reminded that Jesus took our place so that we could experience true freedom and eternal life.

The question remains: What will you do with the One called Christ?

The Strength to Surrender - Matthew S7E2 Oct 05, 2026

Show notes

Jesus wasn’t captured. He surrendered.

In this episode of the Deepen Podcast, Pastor Joby, Pastor Vinke and Pastor One unpack the arrest of Jesus and what it reveals about His strength, sovereignty and submission to the Father. They talk through the pain of betrayal, what it means to truly surrender to Jesus and how our lives can sometimes tell a different story than our words.

Through it all, we see a Savior who willingly stepped toward the cross, endured what we could not and opened the way for us to draw near to God.

Saturated 2026: Is Jesus Worth Your Everything? Sep 21, 2026

Show notes

In Matthew 26, we see two very different responses to Jesus.

Mary pours out what is most valuable to her in extravagant worship, while Judas chooses to betray Him. Her response reminds us that following Jesus means surrendering our agenda, our resources and ultimately our lives to Him.

In this episode of Deepen, we unpack what this passage teaches us about worship, generosity and lordship, and what it looks like to believe that Jesus is worthy of our all.
