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.

Well, Pastor Joby, we have the gospel mouth from way down south joining us.

I've never heard that one.

I'm either.

You just made it up.

Welcome, Pastor One.

Hey, so there's a lot of people that listen to Deepen that don't listen to the sermons.

Really?

Oh, gosh.

A lot.

Oh, wow.

Which is great. No problem. They just like the discussion around the scriptures and they belong to a church and you know what I mean. So great. The reason we do this is to take the sermon and go deeper. You don't necessarily have to have it, but whatever. Yeah. So there may not be people. I know Ane's been on here before, but Ane, tell us a little bit of who you are, how you got here, et cetera. I mean, you're a big deal around 1122 now. You're too kind. Yeah, my name is One, and originally from Botswana. So most people don't know where that is. So I start by saying, you know where South Africa is? It's on the southern tip of the African continent. The country directly north of South Africa is Botswana. That's where I was born. Then my parents sent me to boarding school. That's how I ended up in South Africa. And wasn't a Christian, didn't grow up in the church, but got radically saved.

I believe everybody who comes to Christ gets radically saved.

Amen.

In my second year of college, we call it university, got plugged into a campus ministry,

graduated, and then decided to work for the campus ministry for four years, then went into corporate,

then got called to plant a church.

We planted a church 11 years ago, my wife and I had a few others, and I got it some

incredible things.
