What does it truly mean to love your neighbor as a follower of Christ?

In this episode of Words of Life, Bernie Dake continues his powerful conversation with Major Sandra Pawar, exploring a refreshing and deeply authentic approach to evangelism and community. Together, they unpack the idea that “we don’t love our neighbors to convert them, we love our neighbors because we are converted.” It’s a shift in perspective that moves us from seeing people as projects to embracing them as genuine relationships shaped by grace, humility, and love.

Later in the episode, Jalane Rolader from The Salvation Army’s Bible Correspondence Program offers a moving glimpse into the lives of those often overlooked, men and women who are incarcerated. Through heartfelt prayer requests, we hear real stories of redemption, struggle, and hope behind bars. These testimonies serve as a reminder that no one is beyond God’s reach and that compassion must extend beyond our immediate circles.

Plus, learn about an exciting new initiative bringing Words of Life directly into correctional facilities through secure tablets, creating new pathways for encouragement, discipleship, and transformation.
