About this listen

→ Open Air is a podcast inspired by The Salvation Army’s bold tradition of preaching the gospel in the streets—out in the open. Rooted in Matthew 10:27 (NIV): “What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs,” this podcast brings that same spirit into the digital space. The name is a nod to both the historic open air meetings and being on air—a fresh take on sharing faith out loud. Each episode features unscripted, authentic conversations with a variety of guests as we explore stories of faith, service, struggle, and hope.

  • A Calling Cultivated with Janet Munn
    Jan 8 2026

    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.
