When the fire fell on Mount Carmel, it wasn’t just a showdown with Baal—it was God showing His people who He really is. What does that mean for us today when we’re tempted to limp between two opinions?

In this week’s episode of Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin, the pastors unpack Elijah’s confrontation with the prophets of Baal from 1 Kings 18:17–45. The conversation explores the weight of spiritual darkness, the futility of false worship, and the reality that true worship always demands sacrifice. From asking God for signs to the fire falling on Mount Carmel, this episode challenges us to trust God in the impossible, repent from idols, and walk in obedience that leads to freedom.

If you’ve ever wrestled with divided loyalties, wondered why prayer matters, or questioned what real revival looks like, this episode will point you to the one true God who answers with fire.

Discipleship isn’t a spectator sport—it’s an active fight. In this final week of In the Arena, Pastor Joby Martin challenges us to move from passive comfort to purposeful action. Drawing on John 2’s temple cleansings, Deuteronomy 14’s “wait” that means “ready to pounce,” and the imprecatory Psalms, Joby shows how righteous anger fuels justice, mercy, and gospel advance.

Whether you’ve felt called to fight for orphans, the unborn, or your own spiritual growth, today’s message will equip you to trade your couch for the front lines of God’s kingdom work.

What if every time you break bread, you’re stepping into the same rescue story that freed Israel from Egypt? Every time we take Communion, we’re invited back into God’s great rescue of His people. This episode unpacks Exodus 12’s Passover—where the lamb’s blood met Pharaoh’s justice with God’s mercy—and shows how Jesus fulfills that story as our final Passover Lamb.

See why Communion isn’t just a ritual but a living reminder of our past freedom, a taste of grace for today, and a promise of hope until Christ returns.

“Faith is the mouth with which the soul feeds upon Christ. In the Lord’s Supper, Christ is not received into the mouth- that were carnal- but into the heart, and there spiritually and by faith.” — Charles Spurgeon

From Old Testament “stew trades” to our modern struggles with loneliness, grief, and finances, you’ll discover why surrender—tapping out of self-reliance—is the true path to freedom.

Whether you’re wrestling with your “stew,” stuck in manipulative patterns, or longing to trust God with your deepest fears, this conversation will help you recognize God’s invitation to walk with a limp that leads to life.
