Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin

What happens when following the rules becomes more important than knowing the heart of God?

This week on Deepen, we’re talking hypocrisy, legalism, grace and what it looks like to follow Jesus from the inside out. In Matthew 23, Jesus confronts the Pharisees for looking righteous on the outside while missing what matters most. 

The challenge for us is not just to see where they got it wrong, but to look in the mirror and ask where we may be doing the same.

What changes when God stops being a character in your story and you start seeing yourself as part of His?

This week on Deepen, we’re talking lordship, identity, surrender and what it really looks like to let God have the final say. Because everything belongs to Him, following Jesus isn’t about fitting Him into the life we’ve already planned. It’s about surrendering every part of our lives to Him.

In Matthew 21:23–22:14, Jesus confronts the religious leaders through a series of parables that reveal the difference between religious performance and true repentance. Pastor Joby Martin and Pastor One unpack the seriousness of rejecting Jesus, the patience of God, and the scandal of grace that invites sinners into His Kingdom. 

The invitation has been extended. The question is, will you say yes?

Are you following Jesus or just looking the part? 

In this episode of the Deepen Podcast, Pastor Joby Martin unpacks the triumphal entry, Jesus cleansing the temple, and the cursing of the fig tree to show the difference between outward religion and a life that actually produces fruit. 

Following Jesus is more than going to church, reading your Bible, or knowing the right things. It is surrendering to His lordship and living out what He has called us to do.

In Matthew 20, Jesus challenges the world’s definition of success. While the sons of Zebedee seek position and prominence, two blind men come to Jesus with nothing to offer but their need for mercy. Through these encounters, we see the difference between seeking what Jesus can give us and fully depending on what only He can do for us.

In this episode of Deepen, Pastors Joby Martin and Ryan Britt unpack biblical greatness, the danger of consumer Christianity, the purpose of suffering and why following Jesus requires humility, perseverance and a willingness to serve. Jesus did not call us to chase comfort, titles or recognition. He called us to follow Him, serve others and make disciples.
