Summary

Why do a father’s blessing land so deeply—and why does a “dad wound” shape how we see God? In this episode of Deepen, Pastor Joby and the guys talk through the weight of a father’s words, the life and ministry of John the Baptist, and why the call to repent is both urgent and hope-filled. They also unpack baptism—what it is, what it isn’t, and why obedience matters (without turning it into a work)—plus how the Holy Spirit fills believers for witness, surrender, and life change. So what’s your next step: are you ready to stop being “Christian-adjacent” and follow Jesus in real obedience—starting with baptism? 📣Episode Mentions:• Scripture Passage: Matthew 3• Hosts: Pastor Joby Martin, Pastor Ryan Britt and Jonathan Vinke 📌 Supplemental Resources From This Week:• From Performance to Freedom: A Story of Surrender and Identity • Baptism of Jesus - Heaven to Earth - Matthew S1E2• Baptism of Jesus - Heaven to Earth - Matthew S1E2 (Full Service) • Matthew Season 1: Heaven to Earth Sermon Series • Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin The Church of Eleven22® is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.
