Blessed to Be a Blessing — What Your Favorite Bible Stories Are Really About

Have you ever quoted "Be still and know that I am God" without knowing how the verse ends? You're not alone — and it's the perfect starting point for Mud & Rib's new episode: Verses We Don't Have Full Context On. In this episode, Guy and Kelli walk through David and Goliath, the fiery furnace, and Daniel in the Lion's Den — and show you the bottom line hiding in every single story. From Genesis 12 to Revelation 5, the Father's heart has always been for all nations. We are not just blessed. We are blessed to be a blessing. Scripture: Psalm 46:10 | Genesis 12 | Daniel 3 & 6 | Matthew 28:18–20 | Revelation 5:9–10

Leadership Communities — Don't Lead Alone

Only 1 in 3 Christian leaders finish well. Two thirds don't — and the numbers are getting worse. In this episode, Guy and Kelli Caskey close out the Paul's Journeys series with a deeply practical conversation on why leaders fall off — and the community, based model that helps them stay. They introduce Leadership Communities: small, consistent gatherings of disciple-making leaders built around scripture discovery, accountability, and real-time problem solving. They also walk through their progression of coaching maps (Ministry, Timothy, Generation), the practice of mirror reading Acts with the epistles, and three principles to live by: don't lead alone, don't grow alone, don't sustain alone.

The Gospel Is Not Chained: Paul's Fourth Journey

Paul's fourth journey wasn't what anyone expected — he spent it in prison. And yet the letters he wrote from those chains (Philippians, Ephesians, Colossians) are considered the high watermark of his entire ministry. In this final episode of our Paul's Journeys series, Kelli and Guy wrap up the series by talking about: What we cover: * Paul's prison letters and why they matter * Teams of teams spreading the gospel across Asia Minor * Living the dash — making your life count * The tension between execution and relationship in leadership * Spiritual grandparenting and generational legacy * How to start where you are — in any journey Mentioned: Neil Cole's Journeys | Frank Viola's The Untold Story of the New Testament Church

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.

Paul's Journey 2: Slowing Down, Suffering and Spiritual Parenting | Mud and Rib Podcast

Paul's second journey isn't about more momentum — it's about learning to slow down, let go of your plan, and raise up a team. In this episode, Guy and Kelli walk through Acts 16 and beyond: the Macedonian call, the birth of the church at Philippi, 18 months in Corinth, and the moment Paul starts writing letters filled with spiritual parenting language — gentle as a nursing mother, investing like a spiritual father. They talk about why suffering is inseparable from every calling (not just apostolic ones), how "slower is faster" applies to disciple-making, and why the goal was never to do it all yourself, it was always to raise up multipliers. Honest. Practical. Grounded in Scripture and real life. 🎙️ Hosted by Guy & Kelli Caskey | Caskey Collective and M4 Network **👇 CONNECT WITH US**▶️ Watch on YouTube: www.youtube.com/@TheCaskeyCollective 🎧 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📖 Guy's book: Making Him LORD — available at https://a.co/d/06zDds2P🔔 Subscribe so you don't miss Paul's Journey 3 — coming soon.👍 Like this episode if it encouraged you.
