5QCast 5QCast

In today’s podcast with Jessie Cruickshank, you will be lead through some of our times’ greatest classic theological training like: 







Which animated film has the best philosophy for life?







What does it mean to “Go Slow to Go smart, go smart to go fast”?







How do you let your passion burn and not scorch everyone around you?







How do apostles make decision in a way that helps everyone get on board?







How a “Go Slow to Go Smart, Go Smart to Go Fast” strategy multiplies disciples rather than adding them







Why a “Go Slow to Go Smart, Go Smart to Go Fast” is more effective than gathering hundreds or thousands







How does doing the work of trying to overcome decline actually slow your thinking? 







Where does depression enter in to the process of trying to lead in the Church?







Oh, and what is a “Pregnant Nugget”?







Which fight is a better one? 







* Discipleship or Excellence in Worship?







* Higherarchy or Five Fold?







* Diversity Committee or Gifted Leadership?







For the leader who is investing time energy and resources into programs than disciples, how can they decide to go slow to go fast because the ministry of the Kingdom of God is worth it?







How do you unclutter so you can focus?







What is a great metric for success?







“If you think that there is something missing in order to get the job done, you have the wrong job in mind!”







“God has given us everything we need in order to get our job done.”







“Getting stuff out of your way is critical to know what God has placed in front of you.”







Its a HUGE episode!

I must admit, I never imagined that a conversation about Paul and the Temple of Artemis could end with an alter call, but that’s what you get when you spend time with Tim Catchim.







We are so excited for you to get to join Tim in the new 5Qcast. In this episode, we build a bridge from Paul’s letter to the Romans to Ephesians, and find the liberating grace that enables us to fully be who are, who we were created to be in Christ.







We cover so much ground in this episode you’re going to need AAA. The episode runs about 40mins, so double your commute and enjoy!















Romans 15:4, “May the God of endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude toward each other, similar to Christ Jesus’ attitude.”







Some bits to look forward to:







“The Apostle Paul not only ‘redeploys’ the Scriptures for the purposes of the Church, but he does the same with culture, framing it to benefit the faith of the Body of Christ.”







How does Diana/Artemis play in to Paul’s letter to instruct the Christians in Ephesus?







“We shouldn’t be surprised when start reading through Ephesians to start seeing some points of correlation where Paul starts talking about things that have a mirror correlation to the Temple of Artemis/Diana.”







What does ‘he descended to the lower regions’ mean? And what does it have to do with a comma?







Preachers. Here’s your next sermon – Eph 4:8-11, the Artemisian graveyard procession imagery and the Gospel that saves!







How do we dialogue about APEST when Granville Sharp‘s rule is brought up and dallied about like a rapier? Are there actually only four gifts: Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Shepherd-Teachers? Tim explains how to disarm the doubters.







Seeing all five gifts in every person and activating latent potential for the purpose of equipping the whole body of Christ.







In Ephesians 4:11, Paul is giving words to the church to liberate and activate us.







Each gift equips the body to do what it does best. An Apostle will equip the body with prophetic skills and sensibilities. A prophet will equip the body with prophetic skills and sensibilities…and so on.







We discuss the deep meaning of diakonia. What we have always thought it meant, might not be accurate. Could it be that what we always thought of as ‘servant’ means more of a ‘boundary crosser’? (Oh, and what Hermes has to do with that.)







How does that change the way we read Ephesians 2:14? 2 Cor 3:5?







And we end up with the one question that will change your ministry. Seriously! Not even kidding.

Today marks the beginning of something new in the 5QVerse – The ALL NEW 5QCAST! A podcast from the 5QCollective.







In each episode, this season, we are going to be activating 5Q voices to help us learn, describe and apply the wisdom and practice of APEST. We are super excited for what is to come and are possibly more excited to hear what you think! It isn’t worth producing if it doesn’t help you. Our goal is to equip, support, challenge and inspire you in your best 5Q learning and application. 







This week, Jessie Cruikshank has the honor of launching the new 5QCast and, well, it’s like saving your best for first. I loved having this conversation and know that you will get a ton out of the next twenty five minutes. Jessie unlocks several things that weigh us down in our lives in ministry. It’s real. It’s honest. And it’s here. 







“I am the reason that some people are not in ministry today.” 







That’s something that no one wants to say, yet many of us have. Today’s podcast focuses on the kind of processes, paradigms, communication and relationship that will help you protect those that work with you and create ways to remain FOR one another, building one another up for the glory of the Kingdom of God. 







In this podcast, we answer questions like: 







“How can feedback loops move ministers out of insecurity and into the strength required to bring passion and health to their co-laborers for the Kingdom?”







Feedback Loops are practices that can help you minister in areas that are new for you, without killing the people you depend on. 







“How do we find a fix for the culture of ministry that insists that we always know exactly what to do?”







“How does feedback differ in the Church from the business world, where most of us learn our paradigms?”







In the Kingdom, feedback is not a customer service satisfaction survey or employee review, it’s the Holy Spirit shaping you







“How can my gift compliment the gifting of others? Are teachers the only ones responsible for reading the Bible?”







APEST personalities are the only ones who have the corner on their gifting. They need each other to do what they do more accurately. 







“How does a healthy image of the Trinity help us reorient ourselves to the application of our APEST gifts?”







Our processes and paradigms don’t influence the Trinity, but their processes and paradigms transform us. The Trinity provides the relational model for how we interact in the work of the body of Christ. 







I would say, “and finally,” but there’s so much more: 







“How can this podcast help you become a life-giving, hope building voice in your co-minister’s feedback loops? (And not a Satan?)”







Let us know what you think of the two practical steps for APEST leaders to begin using feedback loops right now?







We look forward to your feedback! (See what I did there?)







You are the reason for the blog. Help us provide you with the tools you need to grow and apply your 5Q, the original intelligence and capacity of the Church.
