Summary

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 Eleven22The Church of Eleven22® is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.
