Welcome to Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin.

The Church of 1122 is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.

And we're praying this message helps you deepen your relationship with him.

Now let's dive in.

If you want to go deeper, listen to the Deepen podcast. Welcome back, everybody. My name's Jonathan Minky, and we are joined once again by the Lady Gaga of ministry herself, Caitlin Armstrong.

Welcome back, Strong Arm. And Pastor Joe Martin, of course. Hey, one thing we got to talk about is our dear friend and brother Charles Martin has a book. It's coming out

Tuesday, February 6th, and you can get it early if you come to church. It is finished, is the

devotional. So it's super exciting. We are in week four of this testimony series, and we talked about the life of Peter.

And Pastor Jobie, just like the pro that you are, Bobbed and weave through the gospel

narrative with many, many, many references.

It was amazing.

So let's talk about Peter. Do you have

anything you want to say before we start? I enjoy preaching that way. I enjoy, because oftentimes

people go to church a lot, often, you know, very closely at each individual word, but sometimes

they can't like palm the whole event.

I don't want the word story, but, and so I think whether you're brand new to church, and you're

like, now, who is Peter and why is he such a big deal? That helps you kind of get your mind around

it. And if you're the long time church attender, believer, Bible study person, maybe there's some things that you never really thought about about the life of Peter.

And at least for my own testimony, how closely Peter's highs and lows and

mountain top and valley experiences mirror my own life, whether it's external or internal.

But he makes me feel a lot better about my own walk following Jesus.

Peter hits home for me because God has given me a Peter to raise.
