Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin

Merry Christmas from Pastor Joby, Gretchen, JP & Reagan!    The Church of Eleven22® is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.

In this episode, Pastor Joby Martin is joined by Pastor Ryan Britt and Pastor Jonathan Vinke to discuss the visit of the Magi in Matthew chapter 2. King Herod, the religious scholars, and the magi all had the same information about Jesus; but only one group actually went after Jesus to offer their gifts in worship to him. God has given us his word to guide us to Jesus just like the star guided the magi. Whatever you do this Christmas season, don’t miss Jesus. 📣Episode Mentions: • Scripture Passage: Matthew 2 • Hosts: Pastor Joby Martin, Pastor Ryan Britt and Jonathan Vinke  • Tucker Carlson Interview 📌 Supplemental Resources From This Week: • Mr. Too Many Lights on Your House Guy • Magi - Real Men of Christmas: Wk 3  • Magi - Real Men of Christmas: Wk 3 (Full Service)  • Real Men of Christmas Sermon Series Series  • Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin  About The Church of Eleven22 The Church of Eleven22® is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.

What if the parts of your story you’re most ashamed of are actually the places God wants to show off His grace? In this Real Men of Christmas Deepen episode, Pastor Joby sits down with Pastor One to walk through the shepherds of Luke 2—young, overlooked, often written off as “shady” and insignificant. They unpack why God chose them to hear “good news of great joy for all people,” and how that same good news still breaks into dark, messy places in our lives today. From South Africa’s story of division to a global vision for the Church, they talk about unity around Christ (not uniformity), the difference between happiness and true joy, and why confession is actually courage. You’ll hear practical next steps for men (and women) who feel unqualified: learning to fear God instead of everything else, taking the next step of obedience, and returning to your everyday work as a different person—on mission where you already are. As you listen, ask yourself: Where might God be interrupting my “normal” so I can take my next step of obedience and share what I’ve heard and seen in Jesus? 📣Episode Mentions: • Scripture Passage: Luke 2 • Hosts: Pastor Joby Martin, One Mokgatle and Jonathan Vinke  📌 Supplemental Resources From This Week: • Mr. “Did We Get My Mom Anything?” Guy   • Shepherds - Real Men of Christmas: Wk 2 • Shepherds - Real Men of Christmas: Wk 2 (Full Service)  • Real Men of Christmas Sermon Series Series  • Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin  About The Church of Eleven22 The Church of Eleven22® is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.

What does it mean to be a real man of Christmas in a culture obsessed with comfort and convenience? In this episode of Deepen, Pastor Joby and Pastor Britt look at Joseph as one of the “Real Men of Christmas” in our Stand Firm and Act Like Men year. They unpack Jewish betrothal, Joseph’s costly obedience when he discovers Mary is pregnant, and how he reordered his entire life around Jesus at the center. As you head into this season, what step of faith is God asking you to take so you can lead and love like Joseph in your home? 📣Episode Mentions: • Scripture Passage: Matthew 1:18-25 • Hosts: Pastor Joby Martin, Ryan Britt and Jonathan Vinke  📌 Supplemental Resources From This Week: • Mr. Secret Christmas Movie Lover  • Joseph - Real Men of Christmas: Wk 1 • Joseph - Real Men of Christmas: Wk 1 (Full Service)  • Real Men of Christmas Sermon Series Series  • Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin  About The Church of Eleven22 The Church of Eleven22® is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Culture is confused. Manhood is under attack. Too many men have traded responsibility for comfort, strength for passivity, and humility for pride. But the Bible gives us a different charge: “Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love” (1 Cor. 16:13-14). In this roundtable, pastors, athletes, hunters, authors, and leaders share raw stories of failure and redemption, fatherhood and faith, and what it really means to be a man in God’s eyes. From the dangers of extended adolescence to the daily disciplines of brotherhood, mentorship, and service, this conversation is a call to arms. This is not about outdated stereotypes or cultural caricatures. This is about courage, conviction, humility, and responsibility. This is about becoming the kind of man your family needs, your community needs, and the kind of man God has called you to be.
