Episode 1 – EJ Ragual on Youth, Calling, and Curiosity

Welcome to Going the MILE: Stories of Calling and Ministry in the Greater Northwest Area, hosted by Bishop Cedrick Bridgeforth. This new podcast invites us to walk the M.I.L.E. together, which stands for Ministry that Matters, Itineration and Location, Lay Ministry Enhancement, and Eliminating Racism.

In this first episode, Bishop Cedrick sits down with EJ Ragual, a young leader from Kent, Washington, whose call to youth ministry began at Christmas Institute. EJ’s story shows how God’s call is discovered in community, affirmed by others, and sustained through curiosity and courage.

Going the MILE is an invitation to live with purpose, listen deeply, and lead with love. Join us and be inspired to discover how your story matters in God’s ongoing work.
