The Heidi St. John Podcast

A teacher finally admits that public education is the best vehicle for social change as she speaks at a rally for Kamala Harris. (Now do you believe me?) At the Olympics we see the effects of this indoctrination played out in real life as humans with XY chromosomes win the female Boxing competition as the International Olympic Committee says they are confused about how to scientifically determine...

“The surrender to grace is the most crazy difficult faith decision that we will ever make.”  Dan and Danielle Friess lived lives struggling with porn and lust, an eating disorder, pain, anxiety, depression, pride, drowning in shame and legalism and had their lives radically changed by a saving faith in Jesus. This shocking understanding of a true grace turned their life upside down.  Dan says, “Wh...

Have you ever struggled to find a place in your life, in your heart, in your schedule, in your marriage, in your homeschooling that you could just rest? There are so many reasons that rest is difficult, but the Bible teaches us that it's God's heart for us to learn to rest in Him. Join me with my friend Ann Dunagan today for a good word from a sister who loves Jesus.  SPONSOR: Thank you to...

You are likely aware of the devastating impact that social media has had on Gen X and on the millennials in the last two decades. We are watching a rise in depression and anxiety, kids who are addicted to social media, others who have committed suicide over things that have happened to them on social media, and dwindling interpersonal relationship skills. And the question becomes, is there an alte...

No matter what the mainstream media tries to tell you—it’s clear that the Olympic Committee is still scrambling to undo the damage they did while mocking Christ at the opening of the Paris Olympics. While this display was shocking and offensive, we shouldn’t be surprised. Today let’s talk about the signs of spiritual warfare and how you can go on the offense against the Spirit of the Age. Show Not...

Homeschooling is growing as parents are taking control of their children’s education. Alex Newman joins me today to discuss the importance of homeschooling in light of the dangers of government-controlled education.

What would you do if the Bible in its current form became illegal? The multi-talented actor Brett Varvel is joining me on the show today to explore this important question and the requirement of absolute truth in a culture that is prone to idol worship. He's got a brand new movie out called Disciples in the Moonlight which explores a version of America where the Bible has been outlawed and Chr...

The stakes are high. The winds of change are blowing. We sense it, we feel it, and we have the most important role to play in the discipleship of our children. Education is discipleship, and parents absolutely must be in the driver’s seat of the educational plan. Turning Point is helping to raise up educators to support parents to do exactly this. Jennifer Burns joins me today from Turning Point A...

I’m talking about what's happening in the news right now, the attempted assassination of President Trump, still at the forefront of everyone's mind.

As we head into the heart of election season these last few months, we are seeing how high the stakes are, and the Biden administration is scrambling as they try to lessen the blow of Biden’s debate performance and recent cognitive challenges, the press secretary even accusing conservatives of creating fake videos in order to make Biden’s situation look worse than it actually is. We also see boys...

Young adults often stumble into the post high school season of their lives, and let’s be honest–parents are often stumbling into this season too!

If you have a y...

Listen in on a live workshop where Heidi shares with homeschool parents at a recent homeschool conference. God’s Word teaches us that the primary job of parents is to raise children who are equipped, both spiritually and mentally for the “real world.” Our assignment? To prepare our kids to stand against “the schemes of the devil.” Trouble is—the language of woke culture often gets right by busy pa...

News broke recently that the Boy Scouts of America is changing its name to Scouting America on the organization's 115th anniversary. According to the Associated Press, the Boy Scouts will become Scouting America in an effort to emphasize inclusion as it works to move past the turmoil of bankruptcy and a flood of sexual abuse claims. Scouts' lack of acknowledgement of the crisis among boys...

I’m sharing my personal experience growing up in an angry home and how it affected me as a wife and mother. It is of utmost importance to control our anger, and I’m offering some practical tips I’ve learned for doing so. I’ll highlight the role of self-control and the power of the Holy Spirit. God wants to redeem our stories and set us free from the spirit of anger. There is hope! Show Notes: http...

I grew up in an angry home, and it had a profound impact on my roles as a wife and a mother. It’s so important to understand the root causes of anger to learn how to manage it in a healthy way. Today I’m covering the different (healthy or unhealthy) ways people deal with anger, such as escalating, stuffing it, or learning to manage it. We need to acknowledge the long-term effects of anger on child...

There is a lot of buzz about the first presidential debate that happened on Thursday, and it’s worth discussing as it was definitely a first-of-its-kind sort of debate for a few reasons. And the Supreme Court ruled on the Chevron issue, which will have far reaching (good) implications. We’ll talk about what that is and what it means.  Thank you to VidAngel for sponsoring our show today. Go to vida...

It seems as if the left has stolen the arts, but just like the rainbow, the arts were God’s idea. But why do fine arts matter to Christians, why is it critical for our children to study them, and most importantly–why are they a valuable alternative to pop culture entertainment? Sandy Yang is here from Cedarville University to share what art really is and how important it is to study it from a Bibl...

Five years ago, a whole lot of the country sleepily went throughout their average days and election days without having any clue how much it really mattered who was in our local or state offices. I’d venture to say many didn’t even see how much damage one president could do in just four years’ time. But it’s awfully clear now! Parents at school board meetings called domestic terrorists, a presumpt...
