Discipleship isn’t a program or a checklist—it’s life together. In this episode of Deepen, Pastor Joby sits down with Pastor Vinke and former NFL player Josh Wells to talk about the journey of following Jesus in the everyday moments. They unpack what it means to abide in Christ, how identity shapes activity, and why the goal of spiritual disciplines isn’t perfection—it’s knowing and loving Jesus more.

You’ll hear why true discipleship is often caught, not taught, how growth happens through both pruning and progress, and why we need real relationships to sharpen us. If you’ve ever felt stuck in your faith or wondered what spiritual disciplines really look like, this conversation is for you.

👉 Special Guest: Josh Wells Josh Wells is a 10-year NFL veteran, Super Bowl Champion, and the founder of Undrafted Coaching—a mentorship platform that equips athletes to grow in heart, soul, mind, and strength.
