Seeds, Suspicion, and the Lord’s Rescue – A Conversation with Joby Part 4 (Audio)
Have you ever realized that God was with you long before you ever knew how to name it?
Joe asks Joby to tell a few specific stories—moments that reveal both the danger of his former world and the quiet ways discernment and grace kept showing up. Joby recounts how he began to suspect something was off with “J Bird” and the story surrounding a supposed hit, and how a single detail—the smell—helped expose a staged deception that led to a raid.
We talk about a different kind of “buckle story,” too: Joby’s unexpected bull ride at the Four Corners Iron Horse Motorcycle Rally, the confidence and chaos of that season, and how those highs were still part of a bigger pursuit. And we end in the mountains, where Joby tells a hunting story that turns into a near-death moment—darkness, a mine shaft, a rattlesnake, and a prayer: “Lord, don’t give up on me now.”
God doesn’t only meet us in churches. If you’ve been running hard, He can still interrupt the story—sometimes with discernment, sometimes with rescue, always with grace.

Surrender Is Freedom – A Conversation with Joby Part 3 (Audio)
Joe continues the conversation with Joby as he describes the moment the adrenaline stopped working—the night he saw fear in other people’s eyes and realized the life he once fed on had turned hollow. What used to feel like power now felt like darkness, and Joby knew something had to change.
We talk about what it’s like when false “brotherhood” abandons you, when identity built on image gets ripped away, and how God used isolation, a box of sermons and books, and even the ride into arrest to bring Joby to real peace. Joby shares where he surrendered to Jesus, how the Word reshaped his mind, and how God used him to pray, lead, and call hardened men toward Christ—even in prison.
Freedom isn’t found in chasing the next high or proving yourself—it’s found on your knees. If you’ve been idolizing anything, there’s still time. Jesus died on the cross for you too.
