In this powerful and deeply reflective episode of Open Air, host Ashley Escobar sits down with Colonel Dr. Janet Munn—holiness teacher, justice advocate, global leader, and lifelong Salvationist—for a conversation that feels both prophetic and pastoral. From her early formation shaped by strong women of faith, to her journey into The Salvation Army through grief, resistance, and ultimately calling, Janet shares how God weaves redemption through even the most painful seasons.

Together, they explore the intersection of holiness and justice, the biblical foundation for women’s leadership, and what it truly means to belong in the Kingdom of God. Janet reflects on her leadership at the International Social Justice Commission, her time representing The Salvation Army at the United Nations, and the sacred responsibility of using power rooted in love. This episode also names the hard truths—where institutions fall short, where women are still held back—and offers a compelling vision of what the Church could become if women’s full calling was embraced without hesitation.

Tender, challenging, and hope-filled, this conversation speaks directly to the next generation of women in ministry: stay close to Jesus, say it anyway, and don’t forget those whose voices still need to be heard.

🌍 New Episode Alert!
In this week’s episode of Open Air Podcast, I sit down with my friend Major Sandra Pawar, who is a justice seeker, advocate for the voiceless, and a woman whose heart beats for those on the margins.

We talk about her book, "More Than A Refugee", refugee stories, their challenges, and why it matters deeply to God’s heart that we love inclusively.

Sandra’s journey will move you, challenge you, and remind you that compassion is not passive, it’s active.

International Day of the girl episode, part two:

🎙️ When we pass the mic, we make space for something holy to happen.

In honor of International Day of the Girl, we invited girls ages 7–17 to share their hearts about knowing who they are in Christ — what it means to be loved, chosen, and called.

Their answers? Pure gold. Honest. Joyful. Full of faith.

When we listen to their voices, we catch a glimpse of God’s heart for the world. 💕

✨ “Just because we are young doesn’t mean we can’t be a light.”
✨ “God made me on purpose.”
✨ “Faith without works is dead — so I try to live it out.”

Take a deep breath, open your heart, and listen in — because the next generation has something powerful to say. 💫
