The Heidi St. John Podcast

The world is so noisy right now. So many people are discouraged. We may be heartbroken—but as Christians, we are not without hope. Today I’ll be talking about how to walk in victory, even when you feel defeated. 

How’s your heart today? Yes, our nation is facing dark days—not unlike the Jewish nation in Esther’s time—and God is working today as He was working then. Today, as we look to the future, God is asking us to look first to Him. To pray. To fast. To believe—and to live like a set apart people. This is a “Haman moment” for the United States—but God is the God of Esther outcomes. **Find links and more...

How old should my child be when I begin warning them about pornography? How can I talk with my kids about the dangers of porn and empower them if they stumble upon it? Today, I’m talking with best-selling author Kristen Jenson, MA about how to protect the minds of our kids. Don’t miss this important conversation!

If you knew that there was a deadly virus at your local school, would you send your child there? If you knew there was fierce fighting happening at the school, would you pack a snack lunch for them and send them on their way? Sadly, many parents are still turning a blind eye to the real pandemic - the spiritual and moral crisis that’s taking our youth in record numbers is happening in the public s...

Maybe it’s because of our rapidly-changing political landscape, the economy, or natural disasters. Maybe you or someone you love went through an emergency and you’ve decided not to be a victim anymore. Whatever your reasons, you’re not alone: Millions of people are actively preparing for an emergency. Today, I’ll give you some prepping basics and links to some great sites. Don’t panic! 🙂 Be prepa...

The news is grim right now—even frightening. Can you feel it? Every day, strangers and friends send me articles and videos that often predict the unthinkable… but is this the place God wants us to focus on in our hearts and minds? No. God’s grace will never be absent in the life of a Believer who knows the Word and lives by it. Our confidence in times of trial must rest on the knowledge that God i...

I used to be okay with sleepovers—but nearly 30 years of parenting has changed my mind. Today I’ll be talking about sleepovers, homeschooling a child who does not want to be homeschooled, and several other hot topics. Listen in! **Find links and more under PODCASTS at HeidiStJohn.com**

Got courage? If you are a true Christian, this is something God requires. Nothing should separate you from God—not political unrest, not a virus, not persecution. There is no difficulty, no trouble, no scenario that can separate you from the love of God if you belong to Him. God loves you and will always protect you. He will watch over you. Because of this, not only can we yield to Him and trust H...

Our republic has suffered a terrible blow. From Pence to the end of peaceful protests, it is clear that the brief respite we got from four years of Trump is coming to an end. However. We should not be surprised by this. God’s people, more than any other people group on earth, have reason to hope.

Nancy Pelosi wants Congress to ban any language that affirms there are two genders. It’s just the latest example of a society in absolute rebellion against God. Next? Churches that embrace social justice. Today we’ll have an honest conversation about the culture and why I think there are churches that you need to leave—right now.

We live in a world that equates knowledge with wisdom—but they are not the same. If we’re going to make good decisions, we need more than worldly know-how; we need wisdom, which begins with fear of the Lord. Is it any wonder that our culture has fallen so low? We no longer fear the Lord. Special guest today… my nephew, River, makes a brief appearance. Enjoy!

It’s Mailbox Monday and today, I’ll be answering a question from a pastor in Washington state, and a mom who asks “How can we encourage parents who say they need two jobs in order to homeschool?” 

If there’s one thing 2020 taught us, it’s that nothing is certain—except one thing. We all have a limited time to make a difference. There is a time to be born and a time to die. We all have a “window” of opportunity in which to leave a legacy and make a difference with our lives. Our legacy in death is a function of the choices we make in life. Are you making choices that will strengthen your leg...

“Your situation is hopeless.” That’s what we heard when my nephew was involved in a devastating accident. “The election is over. Fixing it is hopeless.” That’s what the pundits are saying. Guess what, friends? These are exactly the kind of odds God loves to work with. With God, NOTHING is hopeless. Don’t give up as we ring in the new year. There is always hope with God! If God can raise Lazarus fr...

January’s almost here. There is a storm on the horizon. People are tired. Government is poised to send an apology note of $2,000 to families, plunging us farther in debt and doing nothing to fix the lockdowns. In the midst of it all, though, God is still at work. One of the main ways He works? Through families. Is it any wonder that the family is under attack? It’s because the family that walks in...

Relationships can be tricky—but they’re worth investing in, even when we disagree. The Bible teaches that we should be sharpening each other “as iron sharpens iron.” In this season of the Rona and political unrest, many of us have struggled in our relationships. Here’s the thing: we can have peace in our relationships, even when we don’t agree. Before you walk away from a friendship, consider the...
