How did our country stray so far from the Constitution and from the intended role of government? Put simply, it is a lack of education. Today, Mike Winther, President of the Institute for Principle Studies joins me to talk about what a “right” is, what the role of government is and whether or not it’s right for  the government to expand the definition of what our rights should be. Rights come...

For years, pastors have been telling their parishioners that they cannot speak about political issues, hiding behind their tax-exempt 501(c)3 status. But is that correct? Mike Winther joins me today to talk about this very important topic. **Find more at HeidiStJohn.com **

Fear. It’s everywhere. The brave men and women who fought for our freedom would not recognize this generation. Fear is our kryptonite. It keeps us in our homes when we’re afraid of what we cannot see and keeps us from speaking truth in the face of lies because we fear the response of men. Though fear has had a crippling effect on the world in the past 15 months, God is still calling His people to...

What is God asking you to do! **Find more at HeidiStJohn.com **

For the next few weeks, I’ll be recording from the bus!  This morning, Jay and I were feeling like we were at the end of our rope. Can you relate? Are you weary? Feeling overwhelmed? One of the reasons I love the Bible so much is that we can follow the lives of men and women who faced tremendous obstacles and found strength and hope in the Lord. In the middle of all his problems, ‘David stren...

He was adopted at 6 weeks of age and grew up in a loving, multi-“racial” Christian family of 15. With siblings of varying ethnicities, he grew up with a great appreciation for diversity. Ten of the thirteen children wer...

Biden gives the thumbs up for BLM flags. And an encouraging story from the archives. “Your body is dependent on this drug.” Those are the words I heard from my physician nearly three years ago when I began experiencing seizures as a result of forgetting to take a prescription drug that I had been taking for over 25 years. “Benzodiazepines,” I was told as I sat sobbing in my doctor’s office, “are h...

Saul started off very well. God had given him great success. However, he did not finish well due to disobedience and arrogance. God’s blessing is not found outside His boundaries. You can finish well with His help! **Find more at HeidiStJohn.com **

Once, when I was young and free, I imagined my life differently. In my imagination, I saw a few gorgeous children (maybe three)  with my stunningly handsome husband and maybe a bird or a cat. But not both. I was nineteen when I married the stunningly handsome man. He thought a cat was a good idea. We began to imagine life together. He and his rock-n-roll band, me and my secretary job. And our...

America is a divided nation. Then again, what’s happening in America is also happening throughout the Western world. The culture is becoming more secularized and anti-Christian. Church attendance has already dropped significantly. But what has happened to the church? Why have the younger generations been leaving? Why is the Christian message not impacting the culture like it used to? The answer is...

Many people in the church today are perplexed at what is happening to the culture and in the church with the exodus of the younger generations. Christians in the West are increasingly looked on as the enemy, and persecution is increasing. Is there hope?

The gospel of Christ has been increasingly abandoned in Canada and throughout much of the Western world. As a result, the freedoms their Charter has given them has been slowly eroded. As men abandon God, their freedom inevitably comes under attack. Today, I’ll be sharing news from Canada, and asking God’s people to pray for this nation, which is being tyrannized and taken into captivity under the...

A few days ago, Washington State governor Jay Inslee inflicted a mortal wound into the heart of the state’s public education system. By mandating that our students be taught Critical Race Theory, he has all but assured that we will see a generation of truly racist thought taught to our youngest citizens, and the results will be devastating. **More at heidistjohn.com ."
