In our second episode with Dr. Carolyn Moore, we pose the question, "How does God see me?"

In our previous series with Dr. Craig Keener we explored the questions of "Who is God?" "Is there a God?" "If there is, how can I know Him?"

We now follow up this conversation by discussing who we are as His children.

A great Bible study to continue studying this topic is Dr. Moore's "Encounter the Father" which can be found here https://artofholiness.com/books/

Dr. Carolyn Moore- How Does God See Me?

What does it mean to write as an act of worship? And why does the written word continue to be such a powerful way to share the Christian faith?

In this episode of Words of Life, we welcome back Dr. Bill and Reverend Diane Ury, National Ambassadors for Holiness for The Salvation Army. With more than four decades of ministry experience, the Urys invite us into a thoughtful and deeply theological conversation about writing, holiness, and God’s self-communication through words.

Together, we explore why Scripture—the written Word of God—still shapes lives today, and how writing reflects the incarnation of Christ and the relational nature of the Trinity. Diane shares how writing becomes worship through mutual giving and receiving with God, while Bill reflects on how words invite us into God’s eternal conversation with humanity.

The conversation also touches on their book, Conversations About Holiness, a question-and-answer resource born from real questions asked by Salvationists across the world. Finally, the Urys offer practical encouragement for anyone who feels called to write but feels stuck—pointing listeners back to Scripture, obedience, and trust in the Spirit’s voice.

Whether you’re a writer, preacher, artist, or simply someone longing to hear God more clearly, this episode offers encouragement to see words as sacred tools God uses to shape lives.

In this episode of Words of Life, we hear from Kara, a sixth-generation Salvationist, wife, mom of two, and the Young Adult and Missions Coordinator for The Salvation Army Southern Territory. Kara shares her personal faith journey, growing up in a Christian home, and the moment when faith became her own.

The conversation then turns to the power of writing, journaling, and handwritten letters as spiritual practices. Kara explains how journaling has become a daily rhythm of worship, surrender, and emotional health, helping her process anxiety, pray honestly, and start each day grounded in God’s presence.

Drawing inspiration from the Psalms and the raw prayers of King David, this episode explores how bringing our full emotions to God—joy, frustration, fear, and hope—is not only allowed, but welcomed. Whether through journaling, prayer, or simply writing a card to encourage someone you love, this episode reminds us that personal, intentional communication can be a powerful way to connect with both God and others.

Writing It Out: How Journaling Can Deepen Your Walk with God

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/5e27a451-e6e6-4c51-aa03-a7370003783c/clips/dcf57089-97e1-4de4-ad91-b3cb00db055d/transcript

In this episode of Words of Life, we launch a brand-new series spotlighting Christian writers, creatives, and publishers within The Salvation Army. Cohost, Chris Benjamin is joined by Kristin Mudge, Southern Territorial Publications Editor, to explore calling, creativity, and the spiritual practice of journaling.

Kristin shares her unexpected journey into vocational ministry through writing—from studying media communications and film at Asbury University to serving in youth and women’s ministries, and ultimately discerning God’s call into editorial leadership. As editor of Southern Spirit, The Salvation Army’s monthly publication, Kristin helps tell stories of faith, mission, and transformation while encouraging writers across the territory to use their gifts for God’s glory.

The conversation turns personal as Kristin reflects on her lifelong practice of journaling and how it has shaped her spiritual life. She describes journaling as a way to slow down, untangle racing thoughts, and intentionally listen for God’s voice. Through handwritten prayers, reflective processing, and even written “conversations” with God, journaling has become a powerful spiritual discipline that deepens her relationship with Christ.

This episode invites listeners to consider how God may already be using their gifts in ways they haven’t yet imagined—and how simple practices like journaling can become sacred spaces for prayer, discernment, and spiritual growth.
