Words of Life: Weekly Christian Podcast with Testimonies & Teachings from the Salvation Army

When life gets difficult, prayer can sometimes feel difficult too. We keep praying, but we may begin to wonder if God hears us, if our prayers are working, or if we have the strength to keep going.
In this first episode of a four-part series on prayer and perseverance, Words of Life welcomes back author, podcaster, and speaker Rachel Wojo to talk about finding strength through prayer in the middle of life's hardest battles.
Rachel shares the story behind her book Praying Through Life's Battles and explains why she wanted to create short, focused encouragement for people who are walking through difficult seasons and may not have the energy or ability to sit and read for long periods of time.
Drawing from her own experience of caring for her daughter Taylor through years of illness and loss, Rachel talks honestly about anger, frustration, grief, perseverance, and what it means to bring all of those emotions directly to God. She also shares the Bible verse that became a lifelong reminder for her: "The battle is the Lord's."
If you're walking through a difficult season right now, this episode is a reminder that you don't have to face the battle alone.

In this final episode of the parables of Jesus series, Major Cam Henderson delves into one of the most intriguing and thought-provoking stories in the New Testament. This parable, often considered the strangest of them all, is a powerful reminder of the importance of using our resources wisely and being faithful in little things.
The story of the shrewd manager is a masterclass in how to navigate difficult situations and make the most of what we have. But beneath its surface-level message, this parable is actually a scathing critique of the Pharisees' behavior. Major Cam discusses the themes of ambition, but also the dangers of being too attached to material wealth and power. As he points out, the Pharisees and religious leaders were more concerned with their own interests than with using their wealth and influence to benefit others.
If you're looking for a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of one of Jesus' most enigmatic parables, this episode is a must-listen.

What does God expect from our lives? In this episode of our series on the parables of Jesus, Major Cam Henderson explores one of Jesus’ more challenging stories: the Parable of the Barren Fig Tree.
Jesus tells the story of a fig tree that has been given time and care, yet continues to produce no fruit. The story is a serious reminder of the call to repentance and the importance of allowing God to transform our lives.
But the parable also points to God’s patience and grace. He gives us time, works in us, and calls us to become fruitful through His presence in our lives.
Join Major Cam Henderson as we explore Luke 13 and consider what it means to live a life that produces fruit for God and blesses the people around us.

What can an annoying, persistent friend teach us about prayer? In this episode of our series on the parables of Jesus, Major Cam Henderson explores Jesus’ surprising story of a friend who comes knocking at midnight asking for bread.
Through this humorous and unexpected parable, Jesus teaches His disciples to pray with confidence, persistence, and trust. But the lesson goes beyond simply getting what we ask for. Jesus reminds us that God is not reluctant to hear us. He is our loving Father who knows what we truly need and delights in giving good gifts to His children.
Join Major Cam Henderson as we explore Luke 11, the Parable of the Persistent Friend, and Jesus’ invitation to keep asking, keep seeking, and keep knocking.

What does it mean to truly follow Jesus? In this episode of our series on the parables of Jesus, Major Cam Henderson explores Jesus’ teaching about two builders: one who builds his house on solid rock and another who builds on sand.
Both houses face the same storm. The difference is what they were built on.
Jesus’ parable challenges us to look beyond simply hearing His words and consider whether we are actually putting them into practice. What foundation are we building our lives, our families, and our futures on? And when the storms of life come, will that foundation hold?
Join Major Cam Henderson as we explore Matthew 7 and Jesus’ powerful reminder that real wisdom is not simply knowing the truth, but living it.
