    Paul's Journey 3: Team of Teams - Die to Multiply

    What does it look like when a movement of God stops being about one person, and becomes a team of teams? In Part 3 of Paul's Journeys, Guy and Kelli explore the convergence of leaders in Ephesus, how faithful men and women proved themselves locally before being sent translocally, and what it truly means to die to multiply. From the Hall of Tyrannus to the seven churches of Revelation, this episode unpacks a leadership development process hiding in plain sight — one that challenges us to start where we are, burn for God in the mundane, and trust that depth always precedes breadth. Key topics: Team of teams | Proven locally before sent translocally | Exhortation without demonstration leads to frustration | Die to multiply | New levels, new devils | Developing depth that leads to breadth Timestamps:0:00 — Welcome & recap of Journey 22:00 — Mirror reading the Bible: what we scan over4:30 — Barnabas in Corinth: a restoration hiding in a footnote7:00 — The convergence in Ephesus: team of teams9:30 — Ephesians 4:11-16 and the PEST gifts11:30 — Exhortation without demonstration14:00 — Institutional vs. apostolic leadership development16:00 — Decentralization and the hub model18:30 — Start where you are / burned at the stake vs. taking out the trash21:00 — New levels, new devils28:00 — Die to multiply32:00 — Journey 4 preview & support the podcast🎙️ Mud & Rib is hosted by Guy and Kelli Caskey — apostolic leaders, authors, and co-founders of The M4 Network and Caskey Collective**👇 CONNECT WITH US**🎧 Listen on Spotify & Apple Podcasts: Search Mud & Rib Podcast 📧 Join Our Mailing List: https://mud-rib-podcast.kit.com/ab8ddab6d6 📸 Instagram: @mud.and.rib.podcast 💌 Share Your Ideas: Connect@MudandRibPodcast.com

    Paul's Journeys Pt. 2 — The First Journey and What It Means for You

    We're back for Part 2 of our deep dive into Paul's journeys — and this time, we're getting into the real details of his first missionary journey with Barnabas through the Galatian region (Acts 13–14). If you haven't listened to Part 1 yet, go back and start there — it lays a powerful foundation for everything we cover here. In This Episode: We open by talking about three things that transformed how we read and understand the scriptures: reading the Bible in large quantities and in its full context, mirror reading (looking at both the historical backdrop and the side-by-side reading of Paul's letters alongside the Book of Acts), and Neil's leadership development framework that shows us how Paul grew through each journey. One of the most mind-blowing moments of this conversation is realizing that Acts 9 through Acts 15 — just six chapters — actually covers 14 to 15 years of Paul's life. So much happened in Damascus, Tarsus, and Jerusalem before Paul ever arrived in Antioch. And Paul wasn't sitting around waiting — he was in synagogues, proclaiming Christ, being beaten, and being restored. Key Themes We Explore: The apostolic call — what it means to start, strengthen, and sustain the work in new places Why Barnabas is mentioned first, and when it shifts to Paul & Barnabas — and why it matters Kingdom Stewards — taking responsibility for what God has given you as fertilizer for growth The first journey as the most chaotic — and why that's okay and necessary How leaders are developed in the local church before they're ever sent out The difference between apostolic (going) church and the local (staying) church Why delegation is hard on the first journey — and what to do about it Reflective Questions for Your First Journey: Wherever you are in your faith walk, these questions are worth sitting with — especially if you're in a season of starting something new or feeling scattered in your ministry: Have you found yourself in a hurry to serve God, ticking boxes instead of growing people? Are you working on a wide scale with great diversity, but no real focus? Do people notice how good you are at the job — and is that becoming about you instead of Jesus? Is delegation hard for you? Do you struggle to trust others to do the work? Are the results of your work more important to you than the process of developing people? The first journey is probably the least effective journey of our lives — but it's also the most necessary. It's where we gain the practical know-how that will later be passed on to others. Start where you are. Be faithful with the relationships God has already given you. That's where the kingdom starts — and it spreads from there.
