When Scripture Meets Our Struggles: Stories of Faith and Healing

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.

The Power of Group Bible Study for Accountability and Encouragement

In this heartfelt episode of Words of Life, the panel dives into the reality that even believers wrestle with challenging Scriptures. They explore how verses like James 1:2-4 — which calls us to "consider it pure joy" amid trials — can be both a comfort and a struggle, especially when facing difficult seasons. The conversation highlights the journey of faith through hardships, emphasizing honesty with God about our feelings, embracing vulnerability, and trusting Him even when the outcome is unclear.

Listeners will hear reflections on the raw emotions expressed in the Psalms, the power of God’s sustaining grace during exile and rebuilding in the Old Testament, and the essential role of trust in faith. The discussion also tackles a commonly misunderstood passage from Ephesians 5 about submission in marriage, unpacking its meaning as mutual love, respect, and sacrifice rather than cultural misconceptions or abuse.

This episode encourages believers to lean into God’s Word authentically — with all its challenges and comforts — and find hope and perseverance in the walk of faith.
