Testimonies from a Mission trip to Malaysia and Singapore

 

In this inspiring episode of Words of Life, we welcome back Kristen Mudge, Southern Territorial Publications Editor, alongside special guest Lindsay Bonilla, a children’s book author and professional storyteller whose work is rooted in faith, imagination, and hope.

Lindsay shares her personal faith journey, growing up with Christ as her constant companion through seasons of change and transition. Her story reveals how a deep sense of identity in Christ shaped not only who she is, but how she writes—especially for children navigating a distracted, comparison-driven world.

Together, the conversation explores the power of the written word, the importance of storytelling in the Christian life, and why stories—much like Jesus’ parables—have a unique ability to shape hearts and minds. Lindsay opens up about her calling to write, the surprising path that led her there, and the themes that anchor her work: identity, kindness, welcoming those who are different, and helping children understand who they are in God.

This episode is a thoughtful encouragement for parents, writers, educators, and anyone who believes stories can help form faith at every age.

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.
