About this episode
Following Jesus doesn’t chain us, it frees us. In this powerful conversation, Pastors Joby Martin, Michael Olsen, and Jonathan Vinke unpack Romans 7:4–8:2 through the lens of the hymn Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing. From the battle between grace and struggle to the myth of freedom without boundaries, this episode calls us back to the fountain of every blessing, Jesus Christ Himself. 📣 Episode Mentions: Scripture Passage: Romans 7:4-8:2 Hosts: Pastors Joby Martin, Michael Olson and Jonathan Vinke Hymns Album Stand Firm and Act Like Men by Joby Martin 📌 Supplemental Resources From This Week: When Gratitude Feels Like Warfare - Nick's Story Come Thou Fount - Worship is War: Wk 4 Come Thou Fount - Worship is War: Wk 4 (Full Service) Worship is War Sermon Series Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin 🎙️ What We Discuss: 00:00 - Welcome & Opening Conversation 01:23 - The Fountain of Every Blessing: Gratitude Over Entitlement 06:24 - Living Water in a Dry Land 10:00 - Tune My Heart to the True Standard 14:38 - When Grace Meets the Struggle 20:08 - You Don’t Bring Merit—You Bring Need 25:02 - Truth in the Inward Being: Honest Before God 31:47 - When Discipline Replaces Delight 34:32 - The Misery of Sin and the Loss of Joy 38:32 - Meeting People Where They Are 41:17 - The Evidence of God in a World That Denies Him 43:07 - Half-Baked Beliefs and the Renewal of the Mind 50:26 - Bound by Grace, Freed by Christ 54:07 - Freedom Found in Faithfulness 1:01:57 - The Shepherd Who Leads Us Home 1:04:15 - 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.
