from It’s Elementary - An Asbury Theological Seminary Podcast · host Asbury Theological Seminary
In this episode, Dr. Tesia Mallory, Dean of Chapel at Asbury Theological Seminary, shares how her call to ministry dates back to her baptism. She and Dr. Watson explore how worship forms Christian identity, why Word and Table belong at the center of congregational life, and how Wesleyans understand the Eucharist as a holy mystery that resists both memorialism and overly mechanical explanations. Dr. Mallory also discusses preparing global worship for the Global Methodist Church 2026 General Conference in Johannesburg, emphasizing the importance of honoring diverse cultural expressions and seeking a Spirit-filled unity. She reflects on her Substack, her work on the GMC Book of Worship, and her vision for worship that begins with God and leads the Church outward in mission.
