Church Planting - Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin S19E1

Don't plant the church that's in your head. Plant the one that's in the community. In this episode of the Deepen Podcast, Pastor Joby is joined by Pastor Ryan Britt, Pastor Jonathan Vinke and Pastor Todd Hickox to go deeper into Titus 1 and the bittersweet nature of growth and change in God's kingdom. Our willingness to be sent can impact lives for eternity. - Have you ever wanted to dig deeper into a message and develop a deeper relationship with God?
