AG Youth Leaders Podcast

In Episode 004, Austin Westlake and Josh Fong sit down with Holly Davis, National Student Discipleship Director for the Assemblies of God, to talk about calling, waiting on God’s timing, and being faithful with what’s right in front of you.

Holly shares how her plans for a business career at Evangel changed after she felt the Holy Spirit leading her to SAGU. From there, she spent years serving in local church and district youth ministry while carrying a desire to work in national Fine Arts. She talks about the three times that opportunity seemed within reach, only for the door to close, and the flight home from Anaheim when she sensed God telling her to say yes to North Carolina.

The conversation also gets into how Holly builds strong teams, why she’s making “implementation” her word for 2026, and what it takes to move an idea from the planning stage to the finish line.

In Episode 003, Austin Westlake and Josh Fong sit down with John Easter, Executive Director of Assemblies of God World Missions, to talk about calling, sacrifice, and what it looks like to say yes to God when that yes comes with a cost.

John shares how he went from pursuing a career in music to full-time ministry, including the moment he walked away from a seminary opportunity to answer God’s call to Malawi. That decision led to 24 years of frontline missions work and a lifetime of learning what it means to follow where God leads.

They also talk about the difference between being missional and simply doing missions, and why reaching people often starts with something simple: being willing to share your own story.

In Episode 002, Austin Westlake sits down with his close friend Jonathan Rivera, Campus Pastor at Southeastern University, to talk about obedience, calling, and following God into the unknown.

Jonathan shares his story of growing up in a broken home, finding his way into Assemblies of God ministry, and the moment of obedience that led him to SEU. He also talks about what happened during the spontaneous outpouring on campus and how that moment became part of a larger movement across college campuses and churches.

Welcome to the AG Youth Leadership Podcast. In Episode 001, host Austin Westlake sits down with local church youth pastor Josh Fong and Doug Clay, General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God, for a conversation on life, leadership, and calling.

Doug shares what decades of ministry have taught him about character, staying grounded, and leading well through different seasons. Austin also reflects on personal moments from his time serving under Pastor Doug that have stuck with him as a leader.

If you’re in youth ministry, this one’s worth your time.
