In this final episode, we're going to discuss 8 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 4: how the Salvation Army encourages Christian authors and the lengths 9 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 4: that we go to ensure that every publication we release 10 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 4: is biblically sound.

I am the Southern Territorial Publications Editor, so 18 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 3: I'm in charge of the Southern Spirit and I'm also 19 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 3: part of the process for any other written resources like 20 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 3: specifically books and things like that. 21 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 4: And we have Jeremy Roland. What is your current role 22 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:26,960 Speaker 4: with SESES? 23 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 5: So I am the territorial director for supplies and purchasing 24 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 5: for the Southern territory, so we actually provide all the 25 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 5: resources to the territory. So I not only all the 26 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 5: uniforms and branded items out there, but also all the 27 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 5: book publications. We helped through the publication process and also 28 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 5: help with the marketing and promotion of those. 29 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 2: I'm Jamie, I'm the tarried one of the territorial Youth 30 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 2: secretaries here in the Southern Territory. This I love this topic. 31 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 2: I love the topic that we're talking about today because 32 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 2: it's the Savation Army writing. People outside the Savation Army 33 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 2: writing have had a great influence on my faith in development, 34 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 2: so it's good to talk about it. 35 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 4: So today we're really highlighting just the commitment and investment 36 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 4: that the Salvation Army has put into written resources like 37 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 4: books and other publications. But something really interesting that shows 38 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 4: you how deep that goes. At least within the US. 39 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 4: Pretty much every territory has some type of regular publication 40 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 4: like a magazine or a newspaper. Kristen is through her 41 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 4: role in charge of the Southern Spirit. But then, Jamie, 42 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 4: your previous role was heavily involved in this area. Can 43 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 4: you talk about that? 44 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 2: Sure? Yes, prior to coming back to the South in 45 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 2: the Youth Department. We were at national Headquarters and I 46 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 2: was in the publications department there for three years. So 47 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 2: the first year I was the editor of Peer magazine, 48 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 2: and then for years two and three I was the 49 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 2: director of Publications. So I oversaw all of the National 50 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 2: Salvation Army for the United States publications, which includes Peer Magazine, 51 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 2: War Cry, Word Indeed, which is a theological journal, and 52 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 2: then Crest Books, which is our book publishing wing nationally. 53 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 2: So you're right, all four territories do some type of publication, 54 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 2: and then nationally there are a number of publications that 55 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 2: come out as well. 56 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 4: Hey, you're listening to the Salvation Army's Words of Life. 57 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 4: We're gonna take a quick ad break and we'll be 58 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 4: right back. 59 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: Yeah. 60 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 2: So if you think back to like when the Bible 61 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 2: first started getting printed, and like what the importance of 62 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 2: all that, you know, it's it removed that intermediary, right. 63 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 2: I didn't have to trust what that bishop or whoever 64 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 2: over there was saying. I didn't have to move at 65 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 2: the pace that he wanted to move at. I didn't 66 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 2: have to rely on his interpretation of the Bible. I 67 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 2: could read it all for myself. And I think that's 68 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 2: still true today, but I think it's also important today. 69 00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 2: You know, we had these discussions a lot when I 70 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 2: was at National Should we can tinue to publish books, 71 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 2: Should they only be online? Should it only be on 72 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 2: an e reader? Those kind of things is crazy, as 73 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 2: it might seem to us today, not everybody has accessibility 74 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 2: to digital materials, and so having that printed word available 75 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 2: for them is another way, another avenue to get the 76 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 2: gospel out right. And that's for me, that's what it's 77 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 2: all about. Is this a way to get people to 78 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 2: know Jesus, to be in deeper relationship, to be discipled, 79 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 2: to be able to be holy, and let's do it. 80 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 5: I think right now, especially nowadays, is there's questions about 81 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 5: what is truth and what do you trust? What don't 82 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 5: you trust? And to be able to have resources from 83 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 5: trusted authors that have been vetted through a spiritual biblical 84 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 5: lens is extremely important. And God's still using his people, 85 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 5: I mean in some ways as profits right to different perspectives, 86 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 5: different lenses, different stories. That's why I think the written words, 87 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 5: it's important people keep writing. 88 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 4: So we want to talk about how the Salvation Army 89 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 4: supports writers, how the Salvation Army vets resources. There's probably 90 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 4: even a lot of Salvationists that are unaware to the 91 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 4: extent that the Salvation Army has invested in making sure 92 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 4: that the resources that are put out are ones that 93 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 4: you can trust. I want to hear about how this 94 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 4: works now. I know Jeremy and Kristen you are on 95 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 4: the Literary Council. 96 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:31,719 Speaker 3: What is that literary Council? We have several representatives from 97 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 3: different departments and from Executive Council. We gather occasionally on 98 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 3: an as needed basis to discuss possible manuscripts that we're 99 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 3: looking at to possibly publish in the future. We really 100 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 3: sit with the material, We take our time to go 101 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 3: over it. We assign people to actually vet the doctrinal 102 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 3: foundation of what's being written. We have editors that look 103 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 3: through the actual written words and work with the authors 104 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 3: to make sure that we're getting the very best possible 105 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 3: product and making sure that it's something that's really going 106 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 3: to speak to the Southern Territory specifically. If it's not 107 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 3: going to be something for our particular audience, we'll often 108 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 3: encourage them to look to national headquarters to possibly publish 109 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 3: through National or sometimes we even encourage them to self 110 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 3: publish as this is something for a wider audience, not 111 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 3: necessarily specifically Salvation Army. 112 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 2: I love this aspect of the Salvation Army, and that again, 113 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 2: it is really just about getting the word of God 114 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 2: into the hands of people, and so all throughout our 115 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 2: history you can look and it's done in beautiful ways 116 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 2: through band music and people who are writing hymns, or 117 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 2: who are writing books or writing articles, or you know 118 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 2: Joe the Turk who's out on the street corner doing 119 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 2: all kind of nonsense just to get the word of 120 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 2: God into the hands of people. And that's what the 121 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 2: Savage Army is like. You know what, you have a 122 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 2: gift in this. Let's invest whatever is going to get 123 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 2: the Gospel to the people. We're happy to do it. 124 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 2: And the publications I think it's just one of many ways, 125 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 2: but it has a way of getting into places that 126 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 2: people can't go. I don't know how many people are 127 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 2: aware of this, but the War cry goes into prisons 128 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 2: all over the United States, into areas where they people 129 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 2: can't go into. I would get letters or testimonies all 130 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 2: the time of people who are like I was literally 131 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 2: in hell and God came to me through the War 132 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 2: Cry and a light. It was like this was the 133 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 2: only piece of hope I had, was when the war 134 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 2: cry would make it into my cell. And so I 135 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 2: just think, like I love that about the Savage Army, 136 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 2: that we're like, we'll do whatever crazy business has we 137 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 2: have to do so that people who are lost and 138 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 2: in like the darkest places have some shred of hope. 139 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 4: So when something is released published by the Salvation Army, 140 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 4: it's gone through so much vetting. Why is that important 141 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 4: as a Christian to not just pick up any Christian 142 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 4: book just because it's on the quote Christian New York 143 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 4: Times bestseller It could be kind of trash as far 144 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 4: as its theology goes. Why is it important to know 145 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 4: that what we are reading is biblically sound. 146 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 3: Some of them may be Christians, which is why they're 147 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 3: being publicized as Christian authors, but some of them are 148 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 3: not necessarily like grown up into the church. Some of 149 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 3: them could be baby Christians, newborn Christians who don't have 150 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 3: that solid theological foundation and don't truly have the background 151 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 3: to understand where they're writing from. And they may have 152 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 3: great ideas, but they may not understand the full picture 153 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 3: of what they're trying to say. 154 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 2: One of the cool things is today really anybody can 155 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 2: publish through Amazon or there's all these kind of ways 156 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 2: where you can just self publish a book and get it, 157 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 2: you know, out there pretty quickly. And so we say 158 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 2: this to young people all the time, is just because 159 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 2: somebody looks like they know what they're talking about, doesn't 160 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 2: mean they know what they're talking about. And just because 161 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 2: somebody calls themselves a believer on TikTok doesn't mean that 162 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 2: the things that they're saying actually line up with the 163 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 2: Word of God. When the Salvation Army publishes or when 164 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 2: you go through you know, certain other avenues, you kind 165 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 2: of know that they've been vetted, right, like we've talked about, 166 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 2: they've been through a process with theologians or historians. So 167 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 2: I would say it's a little bit on the part 168 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 2: of the reader to have to do some homework and 169 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 2: figure out, Okay, you know, is this just like some 170 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,560 Speaker 2: rando who you know, had a couple of dollars and 171 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,319 Speaker 2: was able to publish a book. But have they put 172 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 2: in the time and effort in their own spiritual walk 173 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 2: to be grounded in the faith to be able to say, 174 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 2: you know, this is what the Lord is saying to me, 175 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 2: or you know, I believe this is how it lines 176 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 2: up with the Word of God. So you do have 177 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 2: to be careful. 178 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 5: And I know we've talked about this recently, but going 179 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,199 Speaker 5: back to what like one of the biggest great areas 180 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 5: right now in our culture is what is truth. It's 181 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,439 Speaker 5: just people don't know. You could grow up in the 182 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 5: church and they still don't know. I mean between somebody 183 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 5: who calls themselves a Christian and how they're living don't 184 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 5: match up, or interpretations of scripture or taking things out 185 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,680 Speaker 5: of context or those types of things. So to be 186 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 5: able to vet through a resource, through a biblical lens 187 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,440 Speaker 5: to an academic historical lens, it's extremely important process. 188 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 4: We pray that you're enjoying and being blessed by this conversation. 189 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,199 Speaker 4: We're going to take one more ad break and we'll 190 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 4: be right back. 191 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 2: Was at National we were still working our way through 192 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 2: Commissioner Needham's books that were kind of devotionals that took 193 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 2: us through the church calendar. And one of the things 194 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 2: I really enjoyed about those is as I was reading 195 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 2: and editing is it was also like the Holy Spirit 196 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 2: speaking into me. 197 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 3: Right. 198 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 2: It was almost my own devotional There were times where 199 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,439 Speaker 2: I had to go back and be like, Jamie, you're 200 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 2: not reading this for your own devotional development. You have 201 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 2: to be paying attention so that you can use a 202 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 2: different lens right for the editor side. But I really 203 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 2: appreciated that my own spiritual formation happening through this editing process. 204 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 2: Another book that it actually came out after I left National, 205 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 2: but we started the process when I was there, is 206 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,079 Speaker 2: Major Sandra Powar is more than just a refugee, which 207 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 2: came out it was either earlier this year or last year, 208 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:52,199 Speaker 2: and she talks about her experience working with refugees. We 209 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 2: hear a lot about immigration in these places through the news, 210 00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 2: through all kinds of voices, but this is a person 211 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 2: who is a minister of the Gospel, who has experience 212 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 2: in this area and is sharing her experience through the 213 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 2: lens of what God has called us to in mission. 214 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 2: I think it's an important book. 215 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 3: We have things like The Southern Spirit where it's not 216 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 3: just news stories, but that's great, you can see what's 217 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 3: happening around the territory, but we also publish people's stories 218 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 3: and devotional thoughts and things that you could do in 219 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 3: your own core, and it's just smaller snippets. If you're 220 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 3: not looking for a whole book to get into, or 221 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 3: if you're a writer, you're not looking to do a 222 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 3: whole book, if you're looking to just write the one 223 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 3: thought that you have and maybe it's just six hundred words. 224 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 3: We have the Southern Spirit every month where there's a 225 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 3: place for people to read that and to still accept 226 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 3: the truth through that written resources. 227 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 2: God has created us with gifts, right for some it's writing, 228 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 2: for some it's your like vocal voice. For some it's 229 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 2: sculpture or painting or you know, gardening, bringing God's creation 230 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 2: into you know, thriving and into life. And I think 231 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 2: when we use the gifts that God has created us 232 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 2: to convey the message of God, something magical is not 233 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 2: the right word, but something inspired happens. And if people 234 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 2: can you know, learn from that or grow from that, 235 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 2: what a blessed gift. 236 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 1: The Salvation Army's mission doing the most good means helping 237 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,319 Speaker 1: people with material and spiritual needs.
