February 11, 2026 ● 14 minShare this episode
In this episode of Words of Life, we hear from Kara, a sixth-generation Salvationist, wife, mom of two, and the Young Adult and Missions Coordinator for The Salvation Army Southern Territory. Kara shares her personal faith journey, growing up in a Christian home, and the moment when faith became her own.
The conversation then turns to the power of writing, journaling, and handwritten letters as spiritual practices. Kara explains how journaling has become a daily rhythm of worship, surrender, and emotional health, helping her process anxiety, pray honestly, and start each day grounded in God’s presence.
Drawing inspiration from the Psalms and the raw prayers of King David, this episode explores how bringing our full emotions to God—joy, frustration, fear, and hope—is not only allowed, but welcomed. Whether through journaling, prayer, or simply writing a card to encourage someone you love, this episode reminds us that personal, intentional communication can be a powerful way to connect with both God and others.
