In this episode of the Walk Worthy Podcast, Joshua sits down with Joby Martin, founder and lead pastor of The Church of Eleven22 in Jacksonville, Florida, to explore the themes of his newest book, Stand Firm and Act Like Men. Together, they tackle the cultural confusion surrounding masculinity and offer a Biblical vision of what it means to be a man in today’s world.

Joby emphasizes that true masculinity isn’t defined by trucks, guns, or rugged achievements (even though he’s a fan of those things)—but by surrendering to Christ, leading and serving one’s family, standing guard against cultural lies, and wearing the full armor of God. He draws from 1 Corinthians 16:13—“Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Do everything in love”—to unpack what Paul meant by that charge.

Reflecting on their shared South Carolina roots, Joshua and Joby discuss how local culture misrepresents manhood and why, for them as Bible-believing, Jesus-centered men, aligning with God’s heart matters above all.
