In this episode of Words of Life, we continue our special series of testimonies recorded live at the Salvation Army’s Commissioning 2025 event. These powerful stories remind us how God works through ordinary people to bring hope, healing, and transformation.
You’ll hear from Cadets Aaron and Heather Simpson as they share how God used their relationship and the ministry of the Salvation Army to break chains of addiction, restore faith, and draw them closer to Him. Their journey highlights the power of community, perseverance in faith, and God’s ability to redeem even the most broken situations.
Key Takeaways:
-
How God can use relationships and mentors to guide us back to Him
-
The reality of addiction, brokenness, and the hope of freedom through Christ
-
Why persistence in inviting others to church and prayerfully walking alongside them matters
-
How personal testimonies can inspire faith and encourage others in their own journey

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
