The Heidi St. John Podcast

Dr. Kathy Koch is a beloved international speaker, the founder of CelebrateKids and the author of five books. As a 6’1 woman with a deep voice, Kathy struggled to fit into the “box” that the culture wanted to put her into. Today, and for the next several days, Kathy and Heidi St. John take a deep dive into the devastating way we have re-framed gender and sex. We’ll walk with Kathy through her jour...

A listener writes, “My cousin and her young son (who live far away) are coming to visit in a couple weeks. We just found out her young son is now identifying as a girl. We have young children and are very concerned with them seeing this and trying to process the confusion. How should we handle this?” Transgenderism is injuring our kids. We cannot remain silent.

On July 7th, Resident Biden announced that he would be sending people to “vaccine resistant areas” to offer the injection on the spot. Turns out it’s not going over so well. 

“Not to us, O Lord, but to Your name be glory.” Whatever you’re doing, God is writing a story with your life—and He wants the glory. Listen in and be encouraged!

The Church is in a crisis today. We are living in a time of incredible deception where discernment is desperately needed—and worse—this is a generation of biblically illiterate Christians. It’s not enough to just take our kids to Sunday School, we need to take responsibility and teach them God’s word ourselves. But when is the right age to teach children about the Bible? Author Dankia Cooley joins...

Vaccine mandates are really mandates to restrict parental rights, and fueled by the media attention, legislation is popping up around the nation with the purpose of abolishing non-medical vaccine exemptions or “opt-outs” for schoolchildren. Why the push? Today, Liza Greve is back to explain why she believes it’s time to get off the bench and start asking questions. **Find more at HeidiStJohn.com *...

Vaccine choice — whether to give one’s own children vaccines for various viral maladies — has become a household topic. The debate has been characterized by most media and many politicians as a fight between those who are concerned about public health and those who ignorantly disregard public safety, and endanger others via their decisions not to inoculate, because of overblown fears of vaccine da...

What image comes to mind when you think of or hear the word librarian? Most of us think of a sweet older lady who has a penchant for organization and quiet. Unfortunately for our children, that illusion is long over. Today’s libraries are leftist indoctrination centers who will crush anyone that dares mess with their war on children. **Find more at HeidiStJohn.com **

Legalism in the church is closely related to a lack of discernment. Today I’ll be talking about whether or not it’s okay to sing a patriotic song in church. What do you think? Recently a mom wrote in asking about some books that were given to her. Her spirit was troubled. This is why we must be walking with God and listening for His voice! God will give us the discernment to know the difference, a...

Pella, Iowa has become ground-zero in the transgender war. Last week, a young girl who “identifies” as male was permitted to walk around topless at the community pool and enter the men's locker room. How long will we put up with this and what can we do to stop it?  When will we fight for our children? Also, Angela from Texas asks “Is God still speaking?” The short answer is “Yes!” Listen in a...

Emily Hladik, author and teacher of GreatAmericanStudies.com is passionate about history and government, and wants to equip others to be the same. **Find more at HeidiStJohn.com **

I think most of us would admit that we don’t have a great handle on United States History outside of a few major events. We have all learned that in general, we don’t understand the constitution, federal or local government either.  The problem is that when we don’t understand history, we are ill prepared to be civically involved. I have a new friend, Emily Hladik, author and teacher of Great...

The Lord will always guide and direct when you ask and patiently listen. Today I’m sharing a few stories of God’s faithfulness over the years. **Find more at HeidiStJohn.com **

Parents are often intimidated by the prospect of teaching science and math, so they tend to think that they can’t home educate those older years of schooling. My friend Lesley Rester of stemtrainingcamp.com is going to debunk that myth. We need to reclaim the science and math industry by teaching it with a Biblical Worldview and launching those students into the world. It can be done at home, whet...

The apostle Paul wrote, “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen” (Ephesians 4:29). In this passage, Paul is emphasizing the positive over the negative. The Greek word translated “unwholesome” means “rotten” or “foul.” It originally referred to rotten fruit and vegetables...

It’s a courageous thing for a believer to give himself to a sovereign God. When we do this, what we are really saying is, “God, I trust You.” Through years of heartache and suffering, Job was reminded of God’s promise that at the end, all will be made right. God can be trusted. Following his example, can we also say, “Lord, maybe for the first time, I honestly can say, ‘I give myself to You as nev...

The Illinois Department of Education is threatening to take away accreditation if the schools don’t enforce mask mandates, a student halfway through his MBA program being forced to get a vaccine that he doesn't want, and a physician is ridiculed for not going along with the “science” behind the Rona. These are trying times—but good things are happening. Listen and be encouraged! **Find more at Hei...

Would a majority of millennials choose socialism if in exchange for “free” education and “free” health care, they would have to give up their personal property such as their iPhone and their iPad? Probably not—and yet, this is not simply a possibility--the abolition of private property is the first dictum of socialism. We must make the case against socialism now. The hour is late. Join me today as...

It’s time. It’s past time, really, to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth about socialism. We must educate the rising generation about the true costs of socialism, and not just in dollars and cents. The spiritual implications of a nation on the brink of accepting the lie of socialism are staggering. **Find more at HeidiStJohn.com **

In today’s spiritually polarized culture, many Christians have forgotten that the God we serve is the God who created the Universe! Because we are loved and known by our Creator-God, we can have hope in the midst of any fearful situation. **Find more at HeidiStJohn.com **
