The Heidi St. John Podcast

A solid belief in the Lord's sovereignty produces a rest like no other. Standing firm in that belief when things aren't going our way is difficult, but may be the only thing that gets you through and reminds you that He has good things in store for you.

It's easy to be crippled by anxiety these days - over cultural issues, children, marriages and much more. Today I'm sharing 4 specific things I do when I encounter things I can't handle on my own.

We hear many voices in our heads (or out of our heads!) these days, but it's important to know if we're hearing a voice of conviction or condemnation. On today's podcast, Heidi talks about the difference and how to discern it.

Homeschooling in the hands of Godly parents is a fantastic tool for discipling your children. Today we're talking with a homeschool success story as she shares what she did - and didn't - like during her homeschooling years.

Today we're talking about how women can bridge the gap between the promises of God and their every day lives. Join me as I welcome Gwen Smith and share about her new book, "I Want It All."

"Gwen Smith knows how easy it is to dismiss God’s plans with the thoughts, I can’t make a big difference for God because I’m just an ordinary woman with an ordinary life.

He offers His grace for each failure, His l...

Homeschooling is a wonderful, worthwhile pursuit, but many homeschool parents struggle with feelings of burnout and frustration. If you have ever felt this way, you’re not alone! Most of us need to be reminded of the “why” of homeschooling from time to time—but "The Unhurried Homeschooler" takes parents a step further and lifts the unnecessary burdens that many parents place on themselves.

It's absolutely crucial that parents begin to take back the education of their children. Homeschooling is not THE answer - Jesus is the answer, but in the hands of Godly parents, homeschooling is an excellent form of education.

There is a competition for our kids' loyalties in our culture today, and how we choose to educate is one of the most important decisions we can make as we spend their child rearing years with them. Listen in as we talk today and Monday about the options we have and what I believe is best for our children.

Good marriages don't just happen. They're built, nurtured and protected. They start with love and longing and make the distance through dedication and sticky resolve, and today I'm sharing 25 ways to stay married for 25 years.

We talked Monday about the lie that culture is telling us about gender neutrality, and someone has asked what I would do if one of my children announced a desire to be the opposite sex. I know what I'd do and I'm sharing it today.

Our world is telling us that we get to choose our gender based on how we feel about ourselves, but the Bible has a lot to say about our DNA and it does not say that we are gender neutral! It's critical that we know how to parent this issue with our children. Part 1 of 2
