Joseph and the Courage to Obey - S25E1

December 8, 2025 · 59 min

What does it mean to be a real man of Christmas in a culture obsessed with comfort and convenience?

In this episode of Deepen, Pastor Joby and Pastor Britt look at Joseph as one of the “Real Men of Christmas” in our Stand Firm and Act Like Men year. They unpack Jewish betrothal, Joseph’s costly obedience when he discovers Mary is pregnant, and how he reordered his entire life around Jesus at the center. As you head into this season, what step of faith is God asking you to take so you can lead and love like Joseph in your home?
