Are Apostles Still For Today? | JB Masinde & Paul Kidd | The Called

Do apostles still exist — or did they die with the original twelve? In this episode of The Called, Josh sits down with Pastor Paul Kidd of Christian Life Fellowship in Raleigh, North Carolina, and Bishop JB Masinde, apostolic father and senior leader of Deliverance Church International in Nairobi, Kenya — a man who oversees thousands of churches across Africa. Together they answer one of the most debated questions in the church today and unpack what the body of Christ is actually losing by ignoring this office. This is one of the most important conversations we've had on this podcast. WHAT WE COVER: What an apostle actually is — and how it's different from the twelve apostles of the lamb Why the American church is built on a pastor-teacher foundation when it needs apostles and prophets How apostles function as spiritual inspectors — seeing what local pastors can't see from inside The story of speaking to soil in Mexico City — and what happened 24 hours later Why premature titles and offices do more damage than good to young leaders The signs that you may have an apostolic call on your life We hope you find our content helpful in your spiritual growth.
