The Heidi St. John Podcast

I think many of us adults could admit we are carrying wounds from our parents’ divorce without realizing how they impact our current relationships, and if it’s not us, we surely have friends who are. My guest today is here to talk through the effects of divorce and how we can process them as adults. Don’t miss this conversation with Dr. Kent Darcie as he shares concepts from his book Choose A Better Path: Overcoming the Impact of Your Parents’ Divorce.  SPONSOR: Thank you to TUVU for sponsoring our podcast today!

A teacher finally admits that public education is the best vehicle for social change as she speaks at a rally for Kamala Harris. (Now do you believe me?) At the Olympics we see the effects of this indoctrination played out in real life as humans with XY chromosomes win the female Boxing competition as the International Olympic Committee says they are confused about how to scientifically determine if an athlete is truly a male or a female. Dallas Malloy joins me today to share her perspective as a female boxer as we talk about what like looks like the further we go down this road of living a lie in our culture.  Show Notes: http://heidistjohn.com/blog/podcasts/effects-living-lie-dallas-malloy SPONSOR: Thank you to TUVU for sponsoring our podcast today!

“The surrender to grace is the most crazy difficult faith decision that we will ever make.”  Dan and Danielle Friess lived lives struggling with porn and lust, an eating disorder, pain, anxiety, depression, pride, drowning in shame and legalism and had their lives radically changed by a saving faith in Jesus. This shocking understanding of a true grace turned their life upside down.  Dan says, “What I would want to say for anyone that’s listening that may have perspective on the Latter Day Saints, our journey isn’t what people think.” Don’t miss this captivating story of a couple who courageously stepped out of the boat to follow Jesus in a full surrender to His free gift of grace.

My guest today is Dr. Jeff Myers, the president of Summit Ministries, and he is going to unpack the history, the ideology, and the spiritual forces that are at play in the battle between our Western civilization and those seeking to upend it. Show Notes: http://heidistjohn.com/blog/podcasts/should-we-support-israel-as-a-nation-with-dr-jeff-myers

You are likely aware of the devastating impact that social media has had on Gen X and on the millennials in the last two decades. We are watching a rise in depression and anxiety, kids who are addicted to social media, others who have committed suicide over things that have happened to them on social media, and dwindling interpersonal relationship skills. And the question becomes, is there an alternative to what we see on Facebook and Instagram and TikTok and so many of these other platforms?  It’s a good moment to take a collective pause as parents to look for a better way. Ben Laws is here from TUVU to join this conversation about the importance of engaging with your kids, the dangers of social media, and why I really think that we can do a better job of helping our kids be connected to those around them without the devastating negative effects.
