February 18, 2026 ● 14 minShare this episode
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.
