The Heidi St. John Podcast

This month at MomStrong International, we’re all about parents. What a privilege we have to shepherd God’s children! Even though we’re living in an upside-down world right now, God has good plans as we stay in His Word and walk in His ways. Scripture Deuteronomy 6:4-9 Join me at an event near you!  

There is a version of “Christianity” that is troubling on many levels, and we must be aware and learn to measure it against the Word of God. Jesus did not die so that we can wallow in our sin. He died so that we can be reconciled to the Lord! Transformation happens in the deep as we pursue Jesus. If we spend all of our time in the shallows, we won’t grow. Know your word, Sister, and don’t miss today’s podcast! Scriptures 2 Corinthians 4:5 John 14:21 Luke 6:46 Philippians 2:10 Psalm 37:4-5 Join me at an event near you!

I talk a lot about homeschooling on my podcast, because it’s what we do, but there are millions of children in public school each day being loved by their hard-working teachers. Today I have one of my closest friends as our special guest. Carol Bates is my daughter’s mother-in-law, and is joining us to share how we can pray for and support teachers each day as they minister to all of our children, even if you don’t have children in the public school system. Join me at an event near you! Moms in Prayer Good News Clubs See You at the Pole™, the global day of student prayer, began in 1990 as a grass roots movement with ten students praying at their school. Twenty years later, millions pray on their campuses on the fourth Wednesday in September. See You at the Pole™ is simply a prayer rally where students meet at the school flagpole before school to lift up their friends, families, teachers, school, and nation to God. See You at the Pole™ is a student-initiated, student-organized, and student-led event.

A listener is asking about my accidental homeschooling status, and it turns out, I’m not the only one ’round these parts! Yvette Hampton is joining me today and we’re talking about why we decided to homeschool and SchoolHouse Rocked, a documentary you won’t want to miss! Yvette Hampton has been married to her awesome husband, Garritt, for 23 years and is beyond blessed to be mom to her two sweet girls. She is the producer and host of the upcoming documentary, Schoolhouse Rocked: The Homeschool Revolution. In the fall of 2016, she and her family sold their home and most of their possessions, loaded up in an RV, and began traveling the country to film Schoolhouse Rocked. They have a passion for the homeschool community and are humbled and honored that the Lord has called them to tell the story of the millions of families who have been impacted by the homeschool revolution. The movie is intended to dispel the many misconceptions and negative stereotypes of homeschooling as well as to encourage and equip parents to take charge of their child’s heart and education. They plan to release Schoolhouse Rocked in theaters in the summer of 2019! To see the movie trailer and find out more visit schoolhouserocked.com.

They were simply being obedient to the One who had called them to be different. They knew that if He had called them, He would equip them.

Romans 8:28 is one of the most claimed promises about the providence and grace of God in our ups and downs.  If we rightly understand this truth, it unlocks a bulletproof joy in the midst of our circumstances, but if we wrongly understand it, we miss the depth of joy and comfort that God intends for us.  There are two conditions that are critical for it’s application.  Don’t miss our discussion about it today!

Today, I am answering a question from a listener who is frustrated by the attempts to emasculate men in our culture today, especially since she is trying to raise her boys to love and protect women. The Bible says we have been created differently as male and female. One is not better than the other—but we have unique strengths and weaknesses. Let’s embrace them!
