What if strength isn't what you think it is? In Week 4 of Stand Firm and Act Like Men, Pastor Joby Martin shows how Jesus redefines what it means to be strong. Strength isn't measured by status, control, or success—it's revealed in surrender. A strong man is one who rests in Jesus, perseveres through pain, walks humbly under God's authority, and uses his strength to serve others. When we stop striving for worldly greatness and start depending on Christ, we discover that real strength isn't about power—it's about purpose. When you are weak, He is strong. So what would it look like for you to become that kind of man?
We are not called to sit on the sidelines—we are called to stand firm. Week 3 of Stand Firm and Act Like Men calls men to rise up and hold the line—not in their own strength, but in the strength of the Lord. The enemy's mission is clear: to steal, kill, and destroy everything and everyone we love. But God has equipped us with truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, His Word, and prayer—the full armor we need to fight for our families, our marriages, and the next generation. When you stand firm in your faith, you become the gatekeeper of your home and a warrior for God's kingdom. Are you ready to fight for what matters most?
What happens when the defender steps down from the wall? We are at war. Not against flesh and blood—but against an enemy who would love nothing more than to take men out of the fight. In this message, Pastor Joby calls men to be watchful, stand firm in the faith, and act like men as commanded in 1 Corinthians 16:13–14. From pride and worry to laziness, isolation, and lust—the enemy uses every tactic to destroy those called to protect and provide. But even when we fail, the gospel reminds us: failure is not final. God Himself restores, confirms, strengthens, and establishes His sons for the battle ahead. If you've ever felt distracted, defeated, or distant from your calling, this message is a wake-up call to get back on the wall and fight for what matters most—your faith, your family, and your future. Are you watching out, or have you let your guard down?
This is the second episode in our two-part series on biblical manhood. In this conversation, Albo Esilaba is joined again by Joby Martin, pastor of The Church of Eleven22 and author of Stand Firm and Act Like a Man. Together, they go deeper into practical ways of living out godly manhood in everyday life—whether you're a dad, a leader, or a man of influence in any setting. Joby and Albo challenge the divide between “sacred” and “secular” work, reminding us that all vocations are God-given assignments and that every man has been sent into the world as a frontline minister. They discuss how aligning your work, business, or leadership with biblical principles can create environments that impact the kingdom and help people flourish. They also explore how to raise the next generation of men, emphasizing that more is caught than taught. From praying scripture over your children, asking heart-level questions, and parenting toward relationship, to surrounding your teens with godly adult mentors—Joby gives practical tools for modeling and passing on godly manhood. Along the way, they remind fathers to give themselves grace, to never give up, and to embrace the responsibility of leading well. This episode is a powerful reminder of the need for men who will stand up, take ownership, and live out biblical manhood in every area of life.

What happened to godly masculinity? In this powerful kickoff to the Stand Firm and Act Like Men series, Pastor Joby Martin challenges the cultural narrative and calls men back to their God-given purpose. From Genesis to 1 Corinthians 16:13–14, we see that manhood isn't about muscles, money, or machismo — it's about being a prophet, priest, king, provider, and protector. God designed men to work with purpose, obey with courage, and love with sacrifice. But sin has distorted that calling, leading to passivity, confusion, and brokenness. This message is a wake-up call to rise up, reject the lies, and return to the design of the Creator. If you've ever wondered what it really means to be a man of God, this sermon is for you. “Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.” – 1 Corinthians 16:13–14
Today on the No Regrets Podcast, Albo Esilaba is joined by pastor and author Joby Martin from The Church of Eleven22 for the first episode in a special two-part series. Joby shares from his new book, Stand Firm and Act Like a Man, a biblical guide to what Scripture says about who men are and how they are called to live. Instrumental in discipling men, Joby currently leads a church in Jacksonville, FL, where over 20,000 people gather in person each weekend—and many more join online—to discover and deepen their relationship with Jesus. His passion is to help men stand firm in their faith, live out their calling, and follow Jesus in a culture that often makes true biblical manhood feel harder than ever to find. In this conversation, Albo and Joby explore what makes a godly man and what it takes to become one. They discuss what biblical manhood is—and what it isn't—while addressing the confusion and cultural noise surrounding manhood today. Joby reminds men that they are not alone, and that Jesus invites them to take the journey His way. This powerful conversation will challenge and inspire you to start or strengthen your walk as a godly man. Come be transformed in this two-part series as we learn what it means to stand firm and act like a man. Resources Mentioned: The Church of Eleven22 Stand Firm and Act Like a Man by Joby Martin
What if grace isn't tame or polite—but powerful enough to break chains, change hearts, and carry us home? Grace isn't a soft word for a hard world. It's the fierce, pursuing love of God that goes first, finds us at our lowest, and refuses to let go. From John Newton's story of rebellion and redemption to Paul's words in 1 Corinthians, we're reminded that grace is more than a doctrine—it's a Person. In this final message of the Worship Is War series, Pastor Adam Flynt unpacks the truth that grace doesn't just start our faith—it sustains it. It saves wretches, restores wanderers, and strengthens worshipers. Because when grace runs wild in our lives, the war is already won. Have you let God's grace run wild in your life?
What do you do when the battle isn't out there—but inside your own heart? We all get fired up about the war out there—but the greatest battle is often the one within. In week four of Worship is War, Pastor Joby unpacks the story behind “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing” and the confession that still speaks to every believer: “Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it.” Through Romans 7, we're reminded that even when our hearts drift, God's grace pursues us. Worship realigns our spirit to the truth that Jesus has already won the war—and invites us to come home to the One who never stops seeking us.
Pastor Joby Martin is the founder and lead pastor of The Church of Eleven22 in Jacksonville, Florida, a congregation that reaches over 25,000 people each week.

What if worship isn't just singing, but fighting? Worship isn't just music—it's war for your soul. From Carl Boberg's thunderstorm poem that became How Great Thou Art to David's praise in Psalm 145, we see that worship is deeply personal, fully surrendered, generational, and rooted in gratitude. But in the middle of distractions, selfish desires, and the enemy's lies, worship becomes warfare. It's the battle to keep our attention and affection on the only One who is worthy. God alone can carry the full weight of our devotion without failing. That's why we say with confidence, “Then sings my soul, How Great Thou Art.”

What do you do when God does not answer your prayers the way you hoped, or when He does not explain Himself at all? From Horatio Spafford's heartbreaking loss that gave birth to the hymn It Is Well to Jesus' difficult teaching in John 6, Pastor Joby Martin shows us that worship is not a warm-up or background music. Worship is war. In this message, you will see that when life presses in and the valley feels overwhelming, worship becomes the very thing that sustains us. It silences the lies of the enemy and reminds us that Jesus alone is the Bread of Life. Circumstances may never fully make sense on this side of eternity, but the gospel is enough to anchor our souls. Life is hard. God is good. Both are true at the same time. And in the tension of unanswered questions, worship is how we fight back and declare that our trust is in Him.

This isn't a concert. It's not a show. This is war. Worship is a weapon God has placed in the hands of His people to push back the darkness and declare victory in Jesus. In this message, Pastor Joby unpacks how worship crushes fear, silences the enemy, and reminds us that because Jesus lives, we fight from victory, not for it. What battle do you need to fight through worship today?

What others meant for evil, God meant for good. In this Saturated message, Lysa TerKeurst walks us through Joseph's story in Genesis to remind us that pain is not pointless. From betrayal to prison to Pharaoh's palace, Joseph's life reveals the power of God's timing and the truth that “with God, there is always a meanwhile.” When life feels unfair or delayed, God is still writing a greater story. Are you trusting God with your “meanwhile”?

What happens when Christians stop short of God's promises? They die in the wilderness of mediocrity. In this message from Saturated, Pastor Phil Hopper invites us to consecrate ourselves as Israel once did at the Jordan. The call is the same today: stop managing sin, surrender fully, and trust God to part the waters. On the other side is resurrection, freedom, and the life He always intended. If God calls us to more, why would we settle for less?

What happens when God's hand comes on a church? Entire cities are transformed. In this message from Saturated, Pastor Jon Tyson unpacks Acts 11:19-30 and shows us the five unmistakable marks of God's hand on His people: radical conversions, category-defying community, unprecedented generosity, destiny-releasing leadership, and a new cultural identity in Christ. This isn't theory. This is power that turns brokenness into revival and religion into movement. If the Lord's hand is with us, what could He do through our church and our city?

We're great at sitting, but Jesus told us to go. From his passion for the gospel, family hunting stories, and even a bar room encounter that changed everything, Willie Robertson shares how the call of Jesus moves us out of comfort and into the Great Commission. Matthew 28 is not theory, it is movement: make disciples, baptize, teach. In Acts 18 we see a church on the move as Priscilla and Aquila opened their home, Apollos was corrected and sent, Paul heard God say “Do not be afraid, I am with you,” and whole households believed. He challenges us to run three checks that push us forward: check your pulse, check yourself, and check your stories. This is not about watching a few people on mission but about all of us moving together. What is one move you will make this week to share the gospel with a real person by name?
One moment Elijah is standing in victory on Mount Carmel. The next, he's weary, discouraged, and ready to quit. How do you finish well when life feels heavy and faith feels small? In this finale from 1 Kings 19 through 2 Kings 2, Pastor Joby takes us through Elijah's last chapters where fear, failure, and frailty meet the faithfulness of God. From the still small voice in the cave to the fiery chariots of heaven, we discover that God is not finished with His people. He calls us to raise up the next generation, to walk in both Word and power, and to trust His promises all the way to the end. If you've ever wondered whether your past disqualifies you, or whether God can use you after your darkest days, Elijah's story is a reminder: it's not how you start, but how you finish.
Send us a textIn this episode of the FORGE Truth Podcast, Pete Alwinson and Jayson Quiñones sit down with Pastor Joby Martin of The Church of Eleven22. Together they talk about the challenges facing men in today's culture, what it means to “act like men” according to 1 Corinthians 16:13–14, and why the church needs to focus on developing strong men. Joby shares insights from his book Stand Firm and Act Like Men, the dangers of isolation, and the importance of having brothers who will carry you when life knocks you down. This is a straightforward conversation about biblical manhood, leadership, and following Christ without compromise.
One moment Elijah is calling down fire from heaven. The next, he's hiding in a cave ready to give up. What happened? In this raw story from 1 Kings 19:8-13, Pastor Matt Carter walks us into Elijah's dark night of the soul, where fear, anxiety, and depression threatened to undo his faith. We discover that even in the cave, God does not abandon His children. Instead, He pursues Elijah in his failure, restores him with kindness, and redirects him back to his calling. If you have ever felt like you were too weak, too broken, or too far gone for God to use, this message is for you. The story of Elijah shows us the relentless grace of a God who will never let go of His people.
Everyone says they're “fine”—but what if you're not? Depression. Fear. Suicide. These are real battles, and the Bible doesn't shy away from them. In 1 Kings 19, Elijah goes from calling fire down from heaven to collapsing under despair. Pastor Joby Martin and guest Rebecca Maxwell cut through the silence to confront the mental health crisis head-on. You'll hear raw truth, why the enemy attacks your mind, and how Jesus meets you in the darkest valleys. The question is—will you keep pretending, or will you fight back with the truth of God's Word?
Have you ever felt caught between two worlds—longing for God but clinging to idols? In 1 Kings 18, Elijah calls God's people to stop wavering. On Mount Carmel, the prophets of Baal cried out in vain, but Elijah prayed—and fire fell from heaven. Through this story, Pastor Joby invites us to examine where we place our trust and to remember that our God never fails. Whether in drought, in doubt, or in an impossible situation, He is enough. What step of obedience is God asking you to take today?
What kind of man—or woman—are you becoming? In a time of compromise, corruption, and fear, Elijah stood firm. Confronting kings, resisting evil, and obeying God no matter the cost, he shows us what strong and good leadership looks like — for both men and women. In this week's message from 1 Kings 18, Pastor Joby Martin challenges us to reject fear, refuse passivity, and live with the courage that comes from the Spirit of God. Whether you're leading in your home, workplace, or church, Elijah's life reminds us that saved doesn't mean soft — and faith means standing firm on the Word of the Lord.

What do you do when you're staring at an impossible situation? In the middle of famine and heartbreak, Elijah is confronted with what looks like an impossible situation — a widow's son has died. Her hope is gone, and her faith is hanging by a thread. In this week's message from 1 Kings 17, Pastor Joby shows us that even in the darkest moments, God invites us to bring what little faith we have and trust Him to do what only He can do. Elijah's story reminds us that our hope isn't in our circumstances — it's in a God who hears, a God who moves, and a God who still brings life to dead places.
What's the last thing God told you to do… and are you doing it? When God told Elijah to “Arise and go,” it didn't make sense. He was sent to an unlikely place, to meet an unlikely person, with an impossible need. But Elijah trusted and obeyed—and God provided every step of the way. In this message from 1 Kings 17, Pastor Ryan Britt reminds us: God's commands always come with promises, but obedience still requires trust.
What if your calling didn't depend on your résumé but your obedience? In a time of political chaos and spiritual darkness, Elijah enters the biblical narrative from the hills of Tishbe with no credentials, no intro, and no pedigree—but full of the power of God. In this first message from our new series, Pastor Joby walks us through the moment Elijah enters the biblical story and reminds us: God often chooses the overlooked and underqualified to speak His Word and change the world. If you've ever wondered whether God could use someone like you, Elijah's story is just the beginning.
In the final week of the In the Arena series, Pastor Joby unpacks what it means to be angry like Jesus and what to do about it. In John 2, we see Jesus flip tables in the temple, not out of sinful rage but with righteous anger that leads to right action. What stirs your anger? Is it about defending yourselves or protecting what God loves most?
Life isn't a playground- it's an arena. In this message, we unpack how the story of the Passover points us to the ultimate battle Jesus fought and won for us on the cross. From the first Exodus to the final victory at the empty tomb, you'll see how God steps in when we can't win the fight ourselves. Whether you're weary from your spiritual battles, feeling stuck in bondage or just need a reminder that God has never lost a fight, this message will help you stand firm and rest in the victory Jesus has already won. - The Church of Eleven22® is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.

In Week 4 of In The Arena, Pastor Joby takes us into Genesis 25 and 32 to unpack the story of Jacob — the deceiver who spent his whole life wrestling for control, until one night he found himself wrestling God Himself. Through Jacob's struggle, betrayal, and the wrestling match that changed his name to Israel, we see that real victory doesn't come by fighting God, but by finally surrendering to Him. If you've been fighting in your own strength, it's time to quit wrestling and truly win — by surrendering everything to the One who already wrestled death for you and won. - The Church of Eleven22® is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.

In week three of In the Arena, Pastor Joby walks us through 1 Samuel 17 and the true meaning of the David and Goliath story. It's not about us being brave enough to slay our own giants. It's about a greater David, Jesus, who has already won the victory we could never win on our own. Whether you're staring down fear, addiction, brokenness, or doubt, the battle isn't yours to win—it's already been won at the cross. You don't need a cheerleader; you need a champion.

In this bold and deeply needed conversation, Dr. Zach Clinton and co-host Joshua Broome sit down with Pastor Joby Martin—founding pastor of The Church of Eleven22 and author of the new book Stand Firm and Act Like Men. Together, they unpack the urgent difference between cultural masculinity and biblical manhood, calling men to reject passivity, embrace godly responsibility, and lead with courage, humility, and purpose. The conversation explores why suffering in silence is not strength, how community sharpens character, and what it means to leave a legacy that actually matters. Whether you're navigating manhood, mentoring others, or longing to be a man after God’s own heart—this episode is for you.
In week two of In the Arena, Pastor Joby dives into Acts 19 to show us how the same gospel power that dismantled Ephesus's demonic stronghold still fights for us today. Paul didn't bring gimmicks or self-help hacks—he wielded the Spirit to rend magic books worth a fortune, ignite genuine repentance, and spark revival through worship, confession, fellowship, and generosity. But decades later, Ephesus had abandoned its first love. Jesus's tender rebuke—“Do you love me?”—reminds us that our authority flows not from programs or performance, but from a heart rooted in Christ. If you're weary of fighting in your own strength, longing to rekindle passion for Jesus, or ready to wield gospel-fueled weapons against every chain, this sermon will equip you to step into the arena and watch Him move.

In week one of In the Arena, Pastor Britt unpacks 1 Corinthians 15 to show how Jesus didn't sidestep death—He entered the fight, endured it, and destroyed its power through the resurrection. We don't just face death at the end of our lives—we feel its sting every day: in shame, in regret, in broken relationships, in the ache for something more. But Scripture says the last enemy to be destroyed is death—and Jesus already put it under His feet. The resurrection is not just a belief—it's the cosmic turning point of history. It changes our past, redefines our present, and secures our future. If you're in Christ, you're not separated—you're made alive. The question is: Are you in Him?
