Mud & Rib Podcast

In Part 1 of our new Connecting series, we explore one of the most subtle threats to deep connection with God and others: the City Builder.All of us long for connection—but brokenness, fear, and striving often push us toward building our own kingdoms instead of discovering God’s. Through Scripture, story, and honest reflection, we talk about how city building shows up in our lives, ministries, and relationships—and how it quietly robs us of trust, surrender, and true connection.If you’ve ever wondered “Am I enough?”—this episode is for you.
