When Love Looks Like Sacrifice - Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin S24E6

What does 1 Corinthians 13 actually look like after 25 years of real marriage, real sin, and real grace? In this week’s Deepen podcast, Pastor Joby and his wife Gretchen sit down with Ali to talk through “the love chapter”—not as a pretty wedding reading, but as a gritty blueprint for covenant love that actually lasts. From learning to study your spouse over decades, to fighting irritability, resentment, and selfishness, they unpack what it means for love to be patient and kind, to bear all things, believe all things, hope all things, and endure all things. You’ll hear how Gretchen’s Stand Firm devotionals came together, why sacrificial love means saying “today isn’t about me,” encouragement for those walking through divorce or deep hurt, and the hope of being fully known and fully loved by God. As you listen, where is Jesus inviting you to move from childish love to Christlike, sacrificial love—in your marriage, your friendships, and your everyday relationships? 📣Episode Mentions: • Scripture Passage: 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 • Hosts: Pastor Joby Martin, Gretchen Martin and Ali Parsons • Stand Firm and Act Like Men by Joby Martin • Stand Firm With Gretchen Martin 📌 Supplemental Resources From This Week: • Story https://youtu.be/UIHE0opt8Wk • Sermon https://youtu.be/7wZ3obflSlg • Full Service https://youtube.com/live/kE9EPz6u7HQ • Stand Firm and Act Like Men Sermon Series Series https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLG692pIhVPaknAJCDYPL1GFeko_PMkVfU • Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLG692pIhVPalAqqevl0Vj7-9hbAkvaxgD #TheChurchOfEleven22 #JobyMartin #Jesus #Christian #BibleTeaching #Church #StandFirm #StandFirmandActLikeMen #StandFirmandActLikeMenSeries #DeepenPodcast #ChristianPodcast About The Church of Eleven22 The Church of Eleven22® is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.
