Joey Martin is the founder and lead pastor of The Church of Eleven22 in Jacksonville, Florida. Since launching the church in 2012, he has led a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ. In addition to providing The Church of Eleven22 with vision and leadership, Pastor Joby is a national and international preacher and teacher.
His latest book, Run Over By The Grace Train, unpacks the topic of grace as defined by the Gospels. Grace is one of the most important concepts in Christianity, it’s also one of the most misunderstood, misapplied, and most abused. Run Over By the Grace Train explores the topic of grace: what it is, how we receive it, and how it changes absolutely everything about us. Encountering the incomparable, immeasurable grace of Jesus is like getting run over by a freight train: you’re powerless against it, it takes you where it wants to, you can’t do anything to stop it and it dramatically changes everything.
