In this episode of Words of Life, we explore the powerful role of the written word in sharing the gospel and shaping Christian faith—especially within the ministry of The Salvation Army. Host, Chris Benjamin is joined again by Kristin Mudge. And they are joined by Major Jamie Satterlee and Jeremy Roland. From territorial publications like The Southern Spirit to national resources such as The War Cry, Peer Magazine, Word & Deed, and Salvation Army–published books, this conversation highlights the deep commitment The Salvation Army has made to producing biblically sound, theologically grounded resources. Jamie shares insight from her time at National Headquarters, explaining how manuscripts are carefully reviewed through the Literary Council, a vetting process that includes theological, historical, and editorial discernment. The group also reflects on why printed resources still matter in a digital age—especially for those without access to online content, including individuals in prisons and marginalized spaces. Listeners will hear moving stories of how Salvation Army publications have brought hope into the darkest places and why discernment is essential when choosing Christian books in today’s crowded publishing landscape.

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.

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.

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. https://salvationarmysoundcast.org/wordsoflife Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

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. https://salvationarmysoundcast.org/wordsoflife Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

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.

Why does God allow suffering? In this powerful episode of Words of Life, our panel dives deep into one of the most difficult and frequently asked questions in Christian theology: Why do bad things happen to good people? Drawing from both Scripture and lived experience, our guests explore how God can bring redemption, endurance, and even unexpected beauty out of seasons of pain. Using foundational passages like Genesis 50:20 and Romans 8:28, the conversation highlights the biblical promise that while God does not cause evil, He can redeem even the darkest moments. Through the lens of free will, provenient grace, and the nature of love, our panel unpacks why humanity’s ability to choose real good also means the possibility of real suffering. We also discuss the hard truth Jesus spoke: “In this world you will have trouble.” Yet, believers are invited to choose daily—will suffering drive us toward God or away from Him? With encouraging reminders about God’s presence, His peace, and the importance of remembering His past faithfulness, this episode offers a message of hope for anyone wrestling with pain, doubt, or loss. Whether you are walking through hardship or supporting someone who is, this honest and grace-filled conversation will comfort, equip, and reorient your heart toward Christ’s promise: He has overcome the world.

In this powerful episode of Words of Life, our panel takes a thoughtful look at one of the most honest questions Christians ask today: Where is God in a world filled with so much violence, confusion, and brokenness? Drawing from the books of Judges, Ruth, Job, and the Psalms, our guests explore how God's redemption is woven even through the darkest chapters of Scripture—and how He still works in the chaos of our culture today. We discuss how the Bible doesn’t shy away from humanity’s deepest pain. Instead, it reveals a God who is present, faithful, and actively at work—even when circumstances feel overwhelming. Through stories of tragedy, hope, and restoration, Scripture reminds us that in God’s economy, nothing is wasted. Our panel also opens up about personal seasons of doubt and spiritual “roller coasters,” highlighting how the Word of God meets us in both our highs and lows. Whether you’re questioning, grieving, searching for direction, or simply trying to grow in faith, the Bible offers something for every season. We also address real concerns many people have about Christianity: the challenge of hypocrisy, and how believers can avoid becoming a stumbling block to those seeking Jesus. Ultimately, we affirm that while Christians are imperfect, God Himself is the one who transforms lives. The conversation closes with a meaningful reflection on why engaging Scripture should do more than increase knowledge—it should produce joy, kindness, love, and spiritual formation. Understanding the Bible is an intellectual pursuit, but faith is also a gift of grace that shapes both the heart and our daily walk with Christ. If you're curious about the Bible, wrestling with doubts, or looking to deepen your relationship with God, this is an episode that will encourage, challenge, and remind you of the hope found only in Jesus.

In this episode of Words of Life, we explore one of the most important questions for every believer: How do we faithfully understand and study the Bible? Our guest dives into the beauty, complexity, and divine inspiration of Scripture—reminding us that while the Bible is the inerrant and infallible Word of God, it was also written through real people, in real cultures, across many centuries. Together, we unpack why understanding ancient history, culture, and literary genres can deepen the way we read Scripture. From the world of the Egyptians during the Exodus, to the Roman Empire in the time of Jesus, to the intertestamental writings that shaped early Jewish thought—this conversation reveals how context helps illuminate what God is communicating through His Word. We also discuss the rich variety of biblical genres—history, poetry, wisdom literature, prophecy, apocalyptic writings, and the unique genre of the Gospels—and why reading each with discernment transforms our interpretation. You’ll hear how God’s creativity is woven through every narrative, symbol, prophecy, and literary style, revealing His character and His ongoing story of redemption. And at the heart of it all? The consistent theme that God’s Word is alive, intentional, unified, and given so we can know Him. Even in the hard or mysterious passages of Scripture, God offers hope, revelation, and reassurance of His unfailing love. Whether you’re new to studying the Bible or have walked with Christ for years, this episode will inspire you to see Scripture with fresh eyes, recognize the beauty of its complexity, and rediscover your place in God’s ongoing story.

What is the Bible, really—and why does it matter?In this episode of Words of Life, we sit down for a deep discussion on the origins, authority, and reliability of Scripture. Together, we explore how the Bible was formed, why the Church recognizes these 66 books as the canon, and how Christians can trust the Scriptures today. Our guest explains how the Bible became the “rule of faith”—the authoritative set of writings that shapes what Christians believe and how we live. We trace the formation of the Old and New Testament canons, the role of apostles’ teaching, and why the Church affirmed these specific books over centuries of discernment. You’ll hear why Jesus Himself validated the Old Testament and how His life fulfills the story of Israel. We also tackle a common modern question: Can we trust the Bible hasn’t been distorted over time?With more than 28,000 ancient New Testament manuscripts, early fragments like the second-century portion of John, and archaeological findings like the Dead Sea Scrolls, the episode unpacks why the Bible is one of the most well-attested ancient documents in history. Finally, we explore how Christians encounter Jesus through Scripture—not just as information, but as the living, God-breathed Word that forms and transforms us. If you’ve ever wondered where the Bible came from, how it was preserved, or why it continues to shape the Church today, this conversation offers clarity, encouragement, and deep insight.

In this second episode of our three-part series on faith and technology, with Jason Thacker, the conversation dives deeper into the tension between innovation and ethics. Today’s world often rushes toward new tools with the belief that “more technology” will fix our problems. But what if the real issues lie beneath the surface? Together, we discuss how Christians can thoughtfully engage with AI, digital tools, and rapid innovation without losing sight of human dignity and spiritual discernment. Should we adopt every new technology just because we can? Who bears the responsibility of guiding how these tools are used—government, industry, or communities of faith? From the hype cycle of AI to the subtle ways technology can shape our identity, this discussion asks the tough questions: What does it mean to be human in an age of machines? How can Christians ensure that our use of technology reflects love for God and neighbor? If you’ve ever wrestled with how faith intersects with the digital world—or wondered where to draw the line with AI—this episode will challenge you to slow down, ask deeper questions, and consider not just what technology can do, but what it should do.
