Will You Trust God Enough to Step Out of the Boat? - Deepen with Pastory Joby Martin: Matthew S8E3

Will You Trust God Enough to Step Out of the Boat? - Deepen with Pastory Joby Martin: Matthew S8E3

November 9, 2026 · 1 hr 3 min

What if the storm you’re facing is the very place God is growing your faith?

In this episode of the Deepen Podcast, Pastor Joby and the team explore Matthew 14 and Peter’s call to step out of the boat. Through the disciples’ encounter with Jesus on the water, we see how God uses difficult seasons to deepen our dependence on Him and teach us to trust His voice over our fear.

The conversation unpacks God’s sovereignty, the difference between conviction and condemnation, and the courage it takes to obey when the outcome is uncertain. As we continue our Neighbors to Nations journey, we’re challenged to consider what stepping out in faith looks like in our giving, growing and going.

What would you do for the glory of God if you knew it wouldn’t fail, and what’s stopping you?
