The Heidi St. John Podcast

It is not lost on anyone that we are experiencing political and social markers of what we would call the end times. My friend, Phil Hopper is here again today, and what he has to share is encouraging. In the midst of this uncertainty that surrounds us, it is not a time to fear. We know Who wins! Join us today. I know you will be encouraged.

My friend Phil Hopper is a pastor and joining me live in the studio as we talk about corporate gathering with a body of believers, and how we do that even if our city tells us we can't. How do we obey our governing authorities when what they are governing is unbiblical or unconstitutional? The Lord has given us an opportunity to stand, and Phil will share how he has done that with his church in his community. We don't have to sit back and stand down. Listen in!

I'm answering your questions today! Do I have to comply with the 'Rona requirements to finish my college degree? How do I navigate this tension surrounding the support of President Trump? Do Christians need to be involved in politics? What sort of help does my husband need to help with a pornography addiction? You guys ask such good questions! Daily life is still moving on in the midst of the current insanity, and it's important to keep talking about it. 

Jesus knew how hard this world was going to be. In His wisdom, He laid the groundwork for us—and we need to lay the groundwork for our kids. Jesus showed us how to suffer and not lose heart, how to view suffering, and how to view God in the middle of the struggle. We can honor Him without denying how difficult this situation really is, and I’m sharing some practical tips for doing that right now. He is listening, He loves you, and He can be trusted. 

On Wednesday we heard from my daughter and her husband as they shared their birth story and the challenges that came with it. Today we’re finishing the “living room” conversation about the birth of their baby girl, and Ryan has practical tips for the dads from his own experience—even the third time around. This is a raw, real look inside our tight-knit family… and I think it will bless and encourage you. Family and a caring community is so important during pregnancy and the postpartum. I’ll be honest: you guys, the first week of Junie’s birth was hard. We all know the weeks around having a baby are expected to be challenging, but adding the stress of this COVID situation is certainly not helping things. Savannah struggled with severe postpartum anxiety—and the Lord helped us through in some pretty amazing ways. Many of us know someone who’s pregnant right now (you might even be pregnant yourself!) and I think you’ll be encouraged to hear Savannah and  Ryan share their story—unfiltered—about what they learned and what they did that helped. 

Today I have a special treat for you … I’ve invited my daughter Savannah and her husband, Ryan, on the show to have a “living room” conversation about the birth of their baby girl, Juniper. This is a raw, real look inside our tight-knit family… and I think it will bless and encourage you. Family and a caring community is so important during pregnancy and the postpartum. I’ll be honest: you guys, the first week of Junie’s birth was hard.
