The Heidi St. John Podcast

Kids are usually more aware of the evil in this world that we give them credit for. There are plenty of opportunities for them to get a glimpse of evil, from magazine covers in grocery store checkout aisles to the images of real-life tragedies that are constantly present on the news and online. It’s part of living in a fallen world. Our kids need to know that God loves and protects them. **Find li...

“My kids were yelled at in the store yesterday because they did not have a mask. How can I help them? Should we just stay home?” I am getting many questions like this and today I’ll address it and a few more. Don’t give up! God is at work. **Find links and more at HeidiStJohn.com**

Today, I am in a posture of prayer as I pray for this nation that I love so much and for the Church, whose reputation has been so badly bruised in the past several months. Covid has exposed a massive weakness, but by God’s grace, we will see the fruit of God’s grace and mercy as we adopt an attitude of repentance and a desire to walk with God has His own “set apart” people. With God, nothing is im...

If we are going to be victorious in the battle between good and evil, we need to know our adversary. Satan’s name reveals much about his character. The title Satan is used fifty-two times in the Bible. It literally means “the adversary” or “the one who opposes.” He is also called the devil, a word that is used more than thirty times in the Bible and means “slanderer” or “accuser.” Regardless of wh...

Have you noticed that we tend to live in a state of reactive Christianity? When we’re not experiencing some crisis in our lives, it’s easy to forget about the war that Paul is warning us about in Ephesians 6. When we’re feeling safe and comfortable, we can quickly forget that the war is still raging around us. ***Find links and more at HeidiStJohn.com***

“Should we have more children?” This is one of my favorite questions and I’ll answer it along with “Help!

Tune in and be encouraged! ***Got to HeidiStJohn.com for links and resources!***

Is there a “still small voice” giving you pause today? A character issue in your child? A concern for your marriage? A “small” sin issue that’s gradually getting bigger?

Don’t procrastinate—investigate! ***Find links and more at HeidiStJohn.com***

As a mother, I like to think of myself as a bit of an arborist. Arborists are basically tree doctors. I’m basically a kid doctor. Right? Anyway. Arborists are awesome. They’ll come in and inspect your tree, let you know if it needs to be pruned, and suggest things that will help you keep your trees healthy. Healthy trees need pruning—just like children. Notice a bad attitude? It’s time for some lo...

Noble Alexander was born on February 12, 1934 to Cristobal and Beryl Alexander in San German Oriente, Cuba. He served as an assistant pastor in Cuba from 1959-1962. On March 20, 1962, after preaching a sermon on the origin of sin, he was ambushed and taken to prison where he was tried and convicted of conspiracy to assassinate Fidel Castro, the Communist leader of Cuba. At issue was his sermon, wh...

Have you noticed something? I have… people sense that something supernatural is happening in the world around us. There is change on the horizon. This is a season of red skies in the morning, and God’s people sense it. More than ever before in modern history, Christians are talking about the return of Christ. Today, I’ll introduce you to our new study, hit some of the headlines, and give a sh...

Like many of you, I am in the role of a spiritual example and teacher to my children—and God takes it seriously. He views us as His representatives—He has given us the honor of being His ambassadors. Leviticus contains a lot of rules and regulations that are no longer in place because of the death and resurrection of Jesus—we have been set free from the law—but it’s important that we understand ho...

The story of Jesus’ encounter with a rich man offers us an incredible insight into the heart of human beings. When the disciples how the rich man could not leave his riches to follow Jesus, they rightly thought of their own inward struggles. They were absolutely right to ask Jesus who in the world can be saved, in light of their own sin and selfishness. Jesus answered by famously saying, “Humanly...

Help! What should I do about being at odds with my husband over politics and even Covid?

Are you wrestling through your choices for President in 2020? Listen in as I answer a listener’s email about why I have unapologetically stated that I support President Trump for 2020. From abortion to supreme court nominations, the stakes have never been higher, and there’s never been a more important time to have this conversation! ***Find links and more at HeidiStJohn.com***

Today, I’ll be talking about the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg — are Christians right to memorialize and praise her? Also, let’s talk about forgiveness! Have you ever corrected a child and walked away feeling like the attitude was not quite what you were hoping for? Like the infraction may have been addressed but the heart issue was still there? It can be frustrating, but mama, stay in ther...

Can you imagine what it would have been like to follow Jesus (literally) as He moved in crowds of people?  In Matthew chapter 9, we get a wonderful glimpse into the mission and ministry of Jesus. The entire chapter is a wonderful window into the heart in Jesus. He wants us to believe in Him. To trust Him—and to teach our children to trust Him, too. ***Find links and MORE at HeidiStJohn.com***

It seems there’s a lot to be worried about in the world right now. How can we teach our children to be at peace in a world full of panic and fear?  The answer is both simple and profound. The answer is praise.  “And you will hear of wars and threats of wars, but don’t panic.” [Mark 13:7a] ***Find links and MORE at HeidiStJohn.com***

Would you say that your heart is at rest, where do you feel anxious and worried about what might be coming? ***Find links and MORE at HeidiStJohn.com***

One of the themes of my life has been learning how to publicly proclaim my faith.  My women’s conference, “Faith that Speaks'' reaches thousands of women every year with one goal in mind: to stir their faith to action.  Do we love the Lord? If so, our faith should never be silent, our faith should be a faith that speaks. “Now I stand on solid ground, and I will publicly praise the Lord."...

Do you remember the very first time you help your child in your arms? Do you remember the weight of responsibility and the incredible love that you felt? Of course you do. I remember feeling overwhelmed at the thought that the hospital staff would let me take home a brand new, 9 pound human being. I mean, let’s be honest… I didn’t know what I was doing! Truly, I was just making it up as I went alo...

 I will never forget the season when Barack Obama was running for president of the United States. My hunch is that you will never forget it either… his slogan is still with us today. “Hope and change.” It worked, of course. After all, who doesn’t want hope and change? We are a people in dire need of hope!  Here’s the thing though, mom: we need to tell our children the truth about hope. H...
