In honor of Women’s History Month, Words of Life is highlighting another powerful podcast from The Salvation Army: Open Air, hosted by Ashley Escobar.

Open Air features honest, unscripted conversations with women serving in ministry and leadership across The Salvation Army. In this featured episode, Ashley sits down with Gloria Diavangama and Melissa Powell from the Territorial Youth Department to talk about faith, leadership, and the importance of empowering the next generation of girls.

Together they explore what it means for women to step into the calling God has placed on their lives. From cultural expectations and personal experiences to the importance of mentorship, Gloria and Melissa share how the Church can create spaces where young women are encouraged to grow in faith and leadership.
