In this conversation through Matthew 12, Pastor Joby Martin and the Deepen team unpack the difference between religion and the gospel. Legalism says God will love you if you change. The gospel says God changes you because He loves you.

John the Baptist boldly declared Jesus as the Messiah, but later, sitting in prison, he wrestled with doubt. What do you do when following Jesus does not go the way you expected?

In this conversation through Matthew 11, we see that doubt does not disqualify your faith. It invites you to bring your questions to Jesus. Even in suffering and uncertainty, He is still who He says He is.

Jesus does not promise an easy life. He offers something better, Himself.
