What changes when God stops being a character in your story and you start seeing yourself as part of His?

This week on Deepen, we’re talking lordship, identity, surrender and what it really looks like to let God have the final say. Because everything belongs to Him, following Jesus isn’t about fitting Him into the life we’ve already planned. It’s about surrendering every part of our lives to Him.

What will you do with the invitation of Jesus?

In Matthew 21:23–22:14, Jesus confronts the religious leaders through a series of parables that reveal the difference between religious performance and true repentance. Pastor Joby Martin and Pastor One unpack the seriousness of rejecting Jesus, the patience of God, and the scandal of grace that invites sinners into His Kingdom.

The invitation has been extended. The question is, will you say yes?

Are you following Jesus or just looking the part?

In this episode of the Deepen Podcast, Pastor Joby Martin unpacks the triumphal entry, Jesus cleansing the temple, and the cursing of the fig tree to show the difference between outward religion and a life that actually produces fruit.

Following Jesus is more than going to church, reading your Bible, or knowing the right things. It is surrendering to His lordship and living out what He has called us to do.
