What happens when you hit rock bottom, feel alone, and ask God “Why?” In this episode, Pastors Joby Martin, Matt Carter, and Jonathan Vinke reflect on Elijah’s encounter with God in 1 Kings 19. Together they explore waiting in seasons of silence, God’s patience with prodigals, and how the Lord restores weary hearts not with explanations but with His presence.

What does the Bible really say about depression, fear, and suicidal thoughts?

Pastor Joby Martin and Rebecca Maxwell tackle the raw and often-avoided conversation about mental health. From Elijah’s crash after victory to the stigma around counseling, they reveal how the enemy wages war on the mind and why taking thoughts captive and running toward God changes everything. You’ll hear honest stories of despair, practical help for counseling, and why your words carry a life-or-death power in your home.

When fear and shame attack, will you choose to stay silent, or speak life and run to Jesus?

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.
