About this episode
There’s a lion on the prowl, and he’s not playing games. In this episode, Pastors Joby Martin, Charles Martin, and Jonathan Vinke call men to wake up, armor up, and fight back against the enemy that wants to take them out. From humility that takes out the trash to rebellion that kills ministries, this conversation exposes how pride, comfort, and lust derail leaders—and how discipline, submission, and godly grit build them. Through stories of hunting lions, resisting temptation, and embracing discomfort, discover what it means to stand firm and act like men. 📣 Episode Mentions: Scripture Passage: 1 Peter 5:6-11 Hosts: Pastors Joby Martin, Charles Martin and Jonathan Vinke Stand Firm and Act Like Men by Joby Martin https://jobymartin.com/books/stand-firm Stand Firm with Gretchen Martin Devotional https://coe22.com/resources/devotionals/stand-firm-with-gretchen-martin/ 📌 Supplemental Resources From This Week: From Divorce to Redemption - Dave's Story Be Watchful - Stand Firm & Act Like Men: Wk 2 Be Watchful - Stand Firm & Act Like Men: Wk 2 (Full Service) Stand Firm and Act Like Men Sermon Series Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin 🎙️ What We Discuss: 00:00 - Welcome & Opening Conversation 00:18 - When the Lion Charges 05:18 - The Danger of Treating Sin Lightly 08:41 - Humility Isn’t a Feeling, It’s a Fight 13:42 - Clothed in Humility Like Christ 18:32 - Finding Contentment in the Calling Ahead of You 23:08 - Rebellion Destroys Ministries, Submission Builds Them 28:33 - Going Out Swinging: Living the Kingdom Life to the End 34:40 - Numbed by Noise: How Distraction Kills Calling 40:11 - The Quiet Strength of a Humble Leader 46:26 - Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable 51:46 - Discipline Yourself for Godliness 54:40 - When the Enemy Twists Desire 58:59 - Flee the Appearance of Evil 01:06:10 - Closing Thoughts & Prayer About The Church of Eleven22 The Church of Eleven22® is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.
