#468 - Joby Martin // It’s Not About You

2026-10-1605:54

We open Philippians 2 and get painfully honest about what happens when we keep making life about ourselves instead of the interests of Jesus Christ. We draw a straight line from self-focus to self-loathing, then call each other to surrender that leads to real joy and purpose. • reading Philippians 2:17–21 and highlighting Paul’s warning about self-interest • putting it plainly that life is not about us even though God is for us • asking whether we primarily seek our own inte...

#467 - Joby Martin // Discipleship Is Relationship

2026-10-1506:29

We open Philippians 2 and zoom in on why Paul trusts Timothy with real people and real problems. We challenge ourselves to stop treating discipleship like information transfer and start building the kind of relationship that forms courage, character, and conviction. • reading Philippians 2:17-20 and defining “genuine concern” • explaining why Timothy cares because Paul cared first • naming the core principle that discipleship is rooted in relationship • describing time...

#466 - Joby Martin // Make Disciples

2026-10-1406:24

#465 - Joby Martin // Joy Is A Choice You Can Lead With

2026-10-1305:48

We read Philippians 2:17-21 and wrestle with how Paul can command gladness and rejoicing while sitting in prison. We contrast happiness that depends on circumstances with lasting joy found in Jesus, then challenge ourselves to notice the spirit we bring into every room. • reading Philippians 2:17-21 in context and why context matters • Paul’s prison setting and why Philippians is known for joy • distinguishing happiness based on happenings from joy anchored in Jesus •...

#464 - Joby Martin // Poured Out To The Last Drop

2026-10-1205:35

We dig into Philippians 2:17-21 and Paul’s picture of being poured out like a drink offering on top of the sacrifice of Jesus. We challenge the way “self-care” can drift into self-worship and ask where we are still holding back from wholehearted obedience. • Reading Philippians 2:17-21 and drilling into verse 17 • Self-care evaluated by purpose and mission • Paul’s poured-out life as worship and service for others • The drink offering image from the Jewish sacrificial ...
