The Heidi St. John Podcast

Maybe there's a silver lining in the 'Rona. One of our kids has needed some extra focus on character building, and too much activity - even really good activity, can hinder that development of fruit. Our kids need focused discipleship as they grow, and we have to take the time to do that proactively. Today I'm sharing a little bit of what that looks like in the St. John house.  ***Find the transcription and links mentioned at HeidiStJohn.com/Podcast***

Gary Beikerch was a Green Beret Army Medic during the siege of Dak Seang, April 1970 when he was severely wounded, three times. He was unable to walk, but this was the amazing thing. He was chief medic of this village. And he knew that he still had a job to do. Gary's story of the relationships he built with the people of that town and how he has used those to help people today live a life of purpose is one you want to listen to.  An inspiring story of a Medal of Honor winner retold in combination with a New York Times Bestselling author, Blaze of Light: The Inspiring True Story of Green Beret Medic by Gary Beikirch is a story for families who want to learn about a hero worth remembering. Listen in! You'll be encouraged.  ***FIND LINKS AND TRANSCRIPTION AT HEIDISTJOHN.COM***

Jesus reached out to the lepers at great personal risk. Likewise, we need to be who God says we are and be loving the body of Christ. We need to be involved with each other, not forsaking the gathering of believers, and spending time in prayer. The power of prayer isn't based on anything that we do. The God to whom we pray is the Source of the power of prayer. Prayers puts us in touch with our Creator and we can expect incredible things. He can and He will answer us according to His timing and His will. Let's be believers of action and trust Him as we move forward. God is in control, and we are not alone. ***Find links and transcription at HeidiStJohn.com/Podcast***

In this season where I'm feeling a greater need to be prepared for any situation with my family, I love that essential oils can be all I need for my first aid kit. My friend Melissa Crabtree and I both love using oils every day for just about anything you can think of, and today we're telling you about the oils we love for all things breathing, digestion, and germ-fighting (skin and internal), which are the most important to me. If you join us in July, we'll send you a pocket reference guide full of directions for use. Trust me. We'll make sure you know what to do!  It doesn't have to be complicated! ***Find the show notes at HeidiStJohn.com or hop right over to heidistjohn.com/blog/oils***
