We pray 5 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 4: that you really enjoyed our writers series that just finished 6 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 4: last week. If you missed any of those episodes, that 7 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:37,199 Speaker 4: series began on February fourth, before we jump into our 8 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 4: next series. Now that we're in March, which is Women's 9 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 4: History Month, we wanted to once again highlight another podcast 10 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,159 Speaker 4: produced by the Salvation Army Open Air. Open Air is 11 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:50,200 Speaker 4: a podcast hosted by Ashley Escobar and this show features unscripted, 12 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 4: authentic conversations with diverse Salvation Army leaders and women in ministry, 13 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 4: and explores topics of resilience, faith, and hope in action. 14 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 5: So for me, I've got two girls. 15 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 6: They are grown now. 16 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,399 Speaker 7: We raise them to be strong, independent women, and I 17 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 7: think it's important for them to see. 18 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 1: Women in leadership roles. 19 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 7: They need to understand that if their right is just 20 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 7: as much as anyone else's to. 21 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:20,919 Speaker 5: Speak up for what they believe. 22 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:25,399 Speaker 6: If you don't see somebody that represents you, there's that 23 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 6: in the back of your mind that says that this 24 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 6: is not flummy. Yeah. 25 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 8: Throughout history women have been told to soften their voice, 26 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 8: to stay in the background, to support but not lead. 27 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 8: But what happens when God calls us anyway? I attended 28 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 8: a conference last year where I had the opportunity to 29 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 8: sit down with women officers, sergeants, and auxiliary captains. These 30 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 8: are women who preach, who pastor whom mother, who lead core, 31 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 8: and who carry communities on their shoulders. These weren't theoretical conversations, 32 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 8: these were lived ones, and I kept asking myself, why 33 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 8: does this still feel radical in some spaces? Why does 34 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,959 Speaker 8: female leadership in the church still require explanation? 35 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 9: God's given us the voice right and even throughout Scripture 36 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 9: we read of all of these examples of women. He 37 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 9: didn't just sit by, Guru, are we going to affect 38 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 9: generations to follow us? 39 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 6: If sure? 40 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: Speak up? 41 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 9: Because God has called us to do that, has empowered 42 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 9: us to do that, and He has given. 43 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 8: Us from the very beginning the Salvation Army affirmed that 44 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,920 Speaker 8: women are not auxiliary to the gospel mission, they are 45 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 8: entrusted with it. Catherine Booth once wrote that if God 46 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 8: has poured out his spirits, who are we to refuse 47 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 8: the voice? He feels? 48 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 9: God has quite each and every one of us, and 49 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 9: he's plays something inside of each and every one of us. 50 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 6: And as an officer of forty years, it took me, 51 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 6: oh gosh, fifteen twenty years to recognize that. And now 52 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 6: that I know, and now that I feel and expressed 53 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 6: on my own, my voice matters. 54 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 8: In Acts, chapter two, when the spirit falls, Peter quotes, Joel, 55 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 8: your sons and daughters will prophesy. That wasn't poetic language, 56 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 8: it was policy. And the Kingdom of God calling is 57 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 8: not filtered through gender. 58 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 9: The time is of the essence. 59 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 10: Jesus has come in. 60 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 9: God said I need all my warriors. 61 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 8: These women are not leading an abstraction. They are wives, mothers, caregivers, pastors, administrators. 62 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 8: Leadership for them isn't theoretical, it's embodied. And still the 63 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 8: call remains. 64 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 11: There's a new day that has been good in Christ 65 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 11: and in it Jews and Greeks, every ethnic group is included, 66 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 11: slave and free, Every socioeconomic group is included, male and female, 67 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 11: all included. Hallelujah. 68 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 8: As we recognize and celebrate Women's History Month and inner 69 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 8: National Women's Day, this conversation matters. The question isn't whether 70 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 8: women can lead. The question is whether we will fully 71 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 8: embrace and be obedient to what God has already released. 72 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 8: If the spirit has been poured out, who are we 73 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 8: to contain it? I'm your host, Ashley Escobar and this 74 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:26,799 Speaker 8: is Open Air Podcast. 75 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 10: Open Air Podcast, When the World Again Day. 76 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 7: Welcome back to the Open Air Podcast everyone. 77 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: This is a special episode. 78 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 7: I'm really excited because today I've got our friends Gloria 79 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 7: and Melissa here from the Youth Department. 80 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,720 Speaker 1: Tell us a little bit about yourself.

We 177 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 5: want to give them their five that's five caring adults 178 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 5: that know their name, that checks in on them every week, 179 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 5: that is really kind of walking along. 180 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 1: This faith, that journey with them. 181 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,079 Speaker 5: And I think as talk about this, like I can 182 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,439 Speaker 5: remember like my five, like I can remember them. 183 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 13: I know their names, I know their faces, we're friends 184 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 13: on Facebook. 185 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: Like it's you know, it's a whole thing. 186 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 5: And I don't want to kind of go off book here, 187 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 5: but I think that there's like a percentage or whatever 188 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 5: that if you give every kid five caring adults, there's 189 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 5: a higher chance that their faith will stick, that they 190 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,680 Speaker 5: will have a resilient faith into adulthood, so they won't leave. 191 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: They won't walk away like they are. They're in it, y'all. 192 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 5: I think you know, being able to give those adults 193 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 5: to kids to say like we are trusted and we 194 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,680 Speaker 5: actually care about you, Like I'm not just here on 195 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 5: a Sunday checking your name off the list that I 196 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 5: said hello to you. 197 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's I know you, I know your. 198 00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 13: Family, I know where you come from, I know what 199 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 13: you enjoy, I know what you hate. 200 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 12: Like yeah, giving every kid, I think you mentioned something. 201 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 12: It was just in passing, But it's so important. Getting 202 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 12: to know their names I think matters right, getting you know, 203 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 12: just not just knowing, you know, recognizing them, but taking 204 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 12: in time to know their names and call them by 205 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 12: their names, letting them know that as I'm praying for you, 206 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 12: I'm calling your name out before the right word. 207 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 7: When you see the younger generation of women of girls 208 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 7: in the church, what fills you with hope when you 209 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:34,679 Speaker 7: see them? 210 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 5: I think that gen Z specifically, I think, but even 211 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,679 Speaker 5: like Jen Alpha's coming quick behind. But I think I 212 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 5: get you Jen Alpha, right, So I think there is 213 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 5: there's a hunger for Jesus in this next generation. 214 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,199 Speaker 1: And I think that that, I mean, if that doesn't 215 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 1: give you hope. 216 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 5: If that doesn't get you excited and get you bread 217 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 5: in the morning, what are you doing? Yeah, but I 218 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 5: think there's such a hunger to know Jesus and who 219 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 5: He is now the organized religion in the church in general, 220 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 5: that is a sticky point with them, But I think. 221 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,119 Speaker 1: They're open to that. They're open to faith, they're open. 222 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 13: To hearing about that and allowing God to transform their lives. 223 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 1: And I think that's that's hope for me. The hope 224 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 1: that I. 225 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 12: Have right now is in the fact that there are 226 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 12: platforms that have been created for for young women. And 227 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 12: you know, like like we said earlier in the Salvation Army, 228 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 12: I think that, you know, we may have ways to go, 229 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 12: but we definitely are are doing a remarkable job when 230 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 12: it comes to making space for women. 231 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 1: But what what I love now is. 232 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 12: That our girls have opportunities that we that we don't have. 233 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 12: So like what we what we have in the Salvation 234 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 12: Army does not have to. 235 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: Stay in our walls. 236 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 12: Now we have this, this a way to show it 237 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 12: to the rest of the world.
