The Elevate Podcast Esther Reznicek

Meredith Bagby serves on staff at Northplace Church Durban in Durban, South Africa. She’s served as the Youth Pastor and currently serves as the Young Adults Pastor. We talked about ministry as a young, single female and what it looks like to be a mentor to others starting their journey in ministry.

This episode I interviewed none other than my dad, Howie Malone! His life is one of those stories you hear and think, “You couldn’t make that up.” God has taken him to so many wild places. He served as a Military Police officer for 33 years, then retired and has been pastoring a church for the past 11 years. While in the Army, he served in the church wherever he was, whether it was teaching Bible study or leading worship.

This month, I talked with Miche Traina about how we should be approaching big holiday services like Christmas & Easter as the Church. Miche is the Founder of The Elements Group, a digital marketing and design firm for churches. 

This month, I talked with Adam Fogleman about finding balance between our passions, our roles as missionaries, and our family lives. Adam and his wife Alecia have been missionaries with AGWM Africa for over 10 years, serving in Tanzania and South Africa and are currently fundraising to start an exciting new project in Nambia with Urban Tribes.

I sat down with Randy Freeman, pastor of Northplace Church Durban & head of Urban Tribes, an AGWM Africa church planting initiative. We talk about his experiences church planting and the importance of thinking cross-culturally when planting a church.
