Discipleship isn’t a spectator sport—it’s an active fight. In this final week of In the Arena, Pastor Joby Martin challenges us to move from passive comfort to purposeful action. Drawing on John 2’s temple cleansings, Deuteronomy 14’s “wait” that means “ready to pounce,” and the imprecatory Psalms, Joby shows how righteous anger fuels justice, mercy, and gospel advance.
Whether you’ve felt called to fight for orphans, the unborn, or your own spiritual growth, today’s message will equip you to trade your couch for the front lines of God’s kingdom work.
