Welcome back to the Prepare Podcast and our new series for 2026: "Hearing God's Voice in Every-day Life".

To begin our series, I welcome Lt. Melissa Bledsoe to the podcast. Lt. Melissa and her husband Mario are Salvation Army officers stationed at The Salvation Army in Benton Harbor, MI. She is a busy wife, mother, and pastor who loves to take the every-day, mundane life moments and turn them into "holy moments".

So from wherever you are listening, I hope that you will take a minute as you listen and allow God to speak to you.

I hope you enjoy this episode with my friend, Melissa.

Welcome back to the Prepare Podcast! As we wrap up our series on “How Bible Study Has Impacted My Life” and also this year, I’d like to welcome Carla Lindsey to our last podcast of 2025.

Carla is the Women’s Ministries Social Media and Resources Specialist for The Salvation Army New Zealand, Fiji, Tonga, and Samoa Territory. You will love listening to her share her personal testimony of how God led her to Bible study through a particular trial which helped her find a deeper understanding of scripture and a deeper relationship with God.

I hope you enjoy this conversation with my new friend, Carla!
