Today we launch a 7-week series of testimonies. Ashley Escobar will be joined by many of our friends from very different backgrounds to share what God has done in their lives. Today we start with Meagan Hofer. Not long ago she struggled with postpartum depression, and she shares her story of recovery- hoping to speak to someone out there experiencing the same.

Best of Series- ”The Post-COVID Church”

We are starting the New Year off by replaying some of the most listened to episodes of 2022. This episode is from our series with Major Mike Harris, "Pathways". In this episode Mike discussed how Apologetics and Evangelism go together and how we as believers should be having meaningful conversations with unbelievers.

Best of Series - ”Apologetics”

Today is our final episode in our Christmas series and I love the timing of this message. We spend so much time waiting for Christmas day- and it seems like by December 26th, that excitement just goes- poof. But today, with Major Mike Hawley’s message, we’ll focus on the fact the birth of our Savior was just the beginning. Jesus had a whole life ahead of Him.

Emmanuel | A Promise Fulfilled

We hope you’re enjoying this Christmas series, but if you’ve missed any episodes, it began on December 4th.
Today’s message was written by Lt. Colonel Allen Satterlee and his focus is music. Specifically the songs of the angels.

Emmanuel | The Arrival

This week’s message was written by Major Mark Satterlee. Mark approached this series by studying Joseph’s perspective throughout the birth of our Savior.

Emmanuel | The Immaculate Reception

This week, in Sgt. Jennifer Deulley’s message, we really try to put ourselves in Mary’s shoes. From hearing of the news of this miraculous pregnancy to her obedience that followed.

Emmanuel | The Announcement

We are starting our 5-week Christmas series today. This series is unique because each of these messages were written by a different Salvation Army Officer from around our Territory and we’ve asked our friend, Bethany Farrell, to be the voice of Christmas for Words of Life.
While you will hear a different tone and perspective with each episode, all of these writers did such a good job highlighting the real-life experience of the birth of our Savior – specifically through the eyes of Mary and Joseph. This week’s episode was written by Major Rick Raymer.

Emmanuel | Anticipation

We had the opportunity to speak with a Christian mental health psychotherapist and counselor, Kendall Louden on the YouthDownSouth podcast a while back. Knowing that the holidays can be extremely difficult for those dealing with a mental health crisis, we wanted to push back our Christmas series a week to share this interview on Words of Life.
 
If you are struggling right now and need to speak with someone immediately, please call 988 or text.
Kendall also offered her email for anyone in need and she will do her best to point you in the right direction.

Mental Health Episode with Kendall Louden

This week, we kind of go back to the beginning of the series by discussing motive- when it comes to leadership. Are we finding leadership opportunities out of ego or for the benefit of the Kingdom?

Everyday Leadership | Desire

Obviously, in a corporate world, we all probably picture the same thing when we think of power. Like a boss’ power over employees. But the beautiful thing John talks about today is that power is something we should be sharing.

Everyday Leadership | Leading as Influence

As we begin this series on leadership with Major John Murphy and Bethany Farrell; we start off by asking an important question- "Why are you doing this?"
Often, we can find ourselves in leadership positions for selfish reasons, but as we examine leadership through a Biblical lens throughout this series, we'll see that leadership opportunities are all around us.

Everyday Leadership | Why Are You Doing This?

In our final episode of this series (for now), we hear from Grace Perez. Grace is a Salvation Army officer's kid. She grew up in the church and talks about periods in her life where she questioned everything. 
Her story of losing her mother and the strength she continues to find in the Lord and the people He surrounds her with is so powerful. If you have suffered a tragedy like this, our hearts and prayers go out to you. If you need prayer, please reach out @
