This is HIS Story
Welcome to This Is HIS Story, a podcast featuring honest conversations with people whose faith, calling, hardship, and life experiences have become a mission to serve others.
Host Todd Turner talks with nonprofit founders, ministry leaders, Bible teachers, counselors, missionaries, advocates, and everyday people who are pouring out God’s grace to hurting people around the world.
Each episode explores the moments that shaped their story: the calling they could not ignore, the need they stepped into, the people they serve, and the ways they have seen God work through ordinary obedience.
From those feeding the hungry and serving the vulnerable to those teaching Scripture, counseling the wounded, building ministries, and pulling people out of dark places, This Is HIS Story points listeners back to the true Author of every redemptive story.
Todd Turner has spent much of his life helping faith-based organizations communicate clearly, grow generosity, and build ethical digital fundraising strategies that support Kingdom work.

William Booth: The Untold Story Behind The Salvation Army
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
William Booth didn’t set out to build a global movement. He walked into the slums of London with a Bible, a stubborn faith, and a burden for people the church had learned to ignore. Out of that simple conviction came The Salvation Army, one of the most influential Christian missions of the last 150 years.
In this episode of HIS Story, Todd Turner sits down with Booth for a first-person conversation that brings his world to life. You’ll hear what shaped him, why he refused to look away from suffering, and how holiness, courage, and compassion fueled a ministry that changed cities across the world.
This episode explores:
• Booth’s early ministry and calling
• The spiritual and social crisis in 19th-century London
• How The Salvation Army began and why it grew
• Booth’s passion for the poor, the addicted, and the forgotten
• What today’s church can learn from his bold, practical faith
If you enjoy Christian biography, church history, classic revival movements, or stories of ordinary believers doing extraordinary things, this conversation will pull you in. It’s a fresh look at William Booth, The Salvation Army, and the kind of faith that still speaks today.
