In this episode of Open Air Podcast, Ashley sits down with Major Anne Westmoreland to explore how living and serving across cultures has shaped her faith, leadership and understanding of justice. From her Salvation Army upbringing in Denmark to two formative years in Bangladesh and her life as an immigrant in the United States, Major Westmoreland shares how each experience expanded her view of God and taught her to listen, remain curious and recognize the dignity and potential in every person. Their conversation examines the danger of confusing cultural Christianity with biblical truth, the importance of holding joy and lament together, and the need to depend on the Holy Spirit more than buildings, programs or resources. She encourages the next generation to keep learning, lead with openness and intentionally seek out people whose stories and experiences differ from their own—trusting God to transform the space between them.
