Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin

This podcast is amazing! I never miss an episode

On any given weekend, Joby Martin is the best preacher in America. Getting a chance to hear him dig into his sermon deeper each week is special.

Pastor Joby and the church of 1122 saved my life when it comes to finding a church home, hearing the word of God , and actually finding a church home that’s for anyone who wants to deepen their relationship with Christ . To have the podcasts back up the sermon and so many different speakers with insight is such a blessing and I praise God for tools like podcasts that are able to reach that one more.

I’d be careful tuning in on this podcast because this Pastor cares far more about this than he does his congregation. I’ve been a member of this church off and on for 3 years and something always felt off to me in my spirit. Last night confirmed everything as I left leaving church crying feeling so judged and shamed by one of his staff members and it’s so funny because it actually made me think of his first ever attempt at trying to bring a woman to Jesus. I’m sure you all are all familiar w/ the story if you’ve fallen along for some time. A young woman who in the eyes of the world is unworthy of love and kindness and looked down upon and shamed.. and when he brought the woman to his small Baptist church she was judged and shamed and he did absolutely nothing. Last night, i experienced that same feeling from one of his staff members and from Pastor Joby himself because when i came to him crying, instead of taking a mere 5 minutes to listen or show me some sort of empathy, he passed me off to someone else because his time was much more valuable for he had a podcast to film. I’m sorry pastor that I was crying and having a hard time getting my words out because I was in shock and I am also slightly autistic so speaking and getting words out face to face is hard for me sometimes. You couldn’t even give me 5 minutes of your time. Things can wait. I will spare everyone the details of what went on in the prayer room and I’m sure if you ask him he will downplay everything and you’ll make a joke about this in one of your sermons and everyone will laugh. The fact that God is the author of hope and love and I was met with unkindness and shame and judgment and spoken over our goals w/ death on his tongue isn’t a representation of Jesus. Kinda reminds of that story that made you start a church in the first place. Luckily I know Jesus but had that been my first experience w/ him I’m afraid that I’d never be open to him again. And I may be young and I may not be the brightest but one thing I do know is Jesus and he has thankfully gifted me with discernment and what I experienced last night was not of God. I really hope you take this seriously and investigate and also take a look within and come back to reality. I’m not perfect either and I have my own short comings but I’m able to learn and grow and be convicted in the spirit so I hope this of you Pastor Joby. I’ll never step foot in another church thanks to you and your staff. Where two or more are gathered in his name there he is. I’m so thankful for that. Thank you
