In this episode of Words of Life, we close out our special testimony series with a powerful mix of family stories, faith lessons, and exciting news about a brand-new Salvation Army podcast.
First, we’re joined by Ashley Escobar, host of Open Air Podcast, a show inspired by Matthew 10:27 and the Salvation Army’s bold tradition of sharing the Gospel in the open air. Ashley shares how Open Air creates a space for authentic, unscripted conversations about faith, service, social justice, and God’s transformative work through His people.
Then, we return to our testimony series, recorded during the Salvation Army Southern Territory’s 2025 Commissioning weekend. You’ll hear from the Hewitt Sisters, Captains Shemei Hewitt and Tamarique Hewitt Ellis, as they reflect on the faith, prayer life, and legacy passed down to them by their parents. Their stories highlight the lasting impact of intercessory prayer, evangelism, music, teaching, and godly wisdom—reminders of how parents and spiritual mentors shape generations for Christ.
Whether you’re discovering the Open Air Podcast for the first time or being encouraged by these heartfelt testimonies, this episode is a beautiful reminder of how God continues to work in and through His people.

Conviction, repentance, and discipline are all great gifts from our Father in heaven. He wants us to be honest with Him so that we can see real transformation happen in our lives, as He conforms us into the image of His Son.
