Leading Well

In this powerful episode, Steve Green sits down with Tammie Parker to walk through a story of radical transformation that proves no one is ever 'too far gone.'
After moving to Australia at a young age, Tammie eventually found himself spiralling into the world of organised crime. He shares openly about his descent into a life defined by gangs, drugs, and extortion, a path that ultimately led to time behind bars and his deportation to New Zealand. Tammie discusses the raw reality of being stripped of everything he knew, only to find the one thing he truly needed: a relationship with Jesus.
Steve and Tammie dive deep into the "ins and outs" of starting over. They discuss why walking away from this lifestyle is impossible in our own strength and how true, lasting change only comes through the power of God. Today, Tammie is a man on a mission, and he shares about his heart for outreach and street ministry, his experiences hearing God’s voice, and his passion for reaching those who are currently where he used to be.

In this episode, Steve Green is joined by Adam Frost and Don Lafaele, two Lead Pastors from our Elim Christian Centre team. We begin by diving into their personal faith journeys, exploring the pivotal moments and "God-encounters" that led them to Christ and eventually into full-time ministry leadership.
The conversation then shifts to the practicalities of the multisite church model. Adam and Don share honest insights into what it’s like to lead a specific campus under a wider vision, discussing the benefits, the challenges, and the leadership dynamics required to make it all work.
Whether you’re leading a team or simply curious about how our church operates across multiple locations, this episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at the heart and strategy of our movement.

In this powerful episode, Pastor Shane Huang sits down with Steve to share his extraordinary journey: from growing up under China’s One-Child Policy and witnessing Christian persecution, to now leading the Elim Christian Centre City Campus in New Zealand.
Shane opens up about moving to NZ in pursuit of freedom, his intense search for life's purpose, and how he distracted himself from the big questions he was asking. Hear the moving story of how a prayer led him directly to Elim, his first encounter with God during his first church service, and the moment he declared, "I have found hope."
Shane and Steve dive deep into the meaning of purpose-driven leadership and serving wholeheartedly. They discuss how understanding your calling acts as an anchor in the storm, ensuring you don't give up when difficulties arise.
Discover how God redeemed Shane's childhood passion for public speaking into a powerful tool for the church, and why Shane believes "finding the right leaders to follow is more important than finding the right job."
This is an essential conversation for anyone seeking clarity, hope, and unshakeable purpose.

What happens when you keep saying 'yes' to God? On this episode, Steve is joined by TJ Grant, National Director of World Vision NZ, for a powerful conversation about surrender and purpose.
Hear how giving God your yes can unlock an unimaginable path, opening doors and leading you on an incredible journey. Steve and TJ also dive into the vital importance of humility in leadership, recognising that their positions have been entrusted to them for a time and a purpose greater than themselves.
