The Heidi St. John Podcast

Recently, my husband made me aware of a teaching that is gaining steam among some of my fellow Christians. It's NOT that women can't teach men... it's that they can't teach other women theology. As you can imagine, I have a few thoughts on this and I'll be answering a question about whether or not Christians are still under OT law. SHOW NOTES

The headlines can be overwhelming—and we've all seen them. On Independence Day, a Federal judge issued a stinging rebuke of Joe Biden's handling of the pandemic—because he silenced dissent and free speech, violating the first amendment. Then on Wednesday, we learned that cocaine has been found in the West Wing of the White House. When will character matter again for our leaders? SHOW NOTES

Doesn't the Bible direct women to submit to their husbands? Today, June Hunt, founder of Hope for the Heart, joins me to talk about why women are never called to submit to abuse. These are tough conversations, and important ones, too. Listen in, because we need to learn to "rightly divide" the Word! During Happy Hour I am sharing a little of my own experience with abuse and domestic violence. SHOW NOTES

What constitutes domestic violence and how prevalent is it? What is the classic "cycle of abuse"? What do abusers believe? Why do women remain in abusive relationships? The wonderful June Hunt joins me today to talk about this issue that is near and dear to my heart. If you have suffered abuse or if you know someone who has, this is a must-listen. God has freedom and healing for you! SHOW NOTES

Last weekend, SCOTUS came down solidly on the side of freedom in the United States as it issued rulings on so-called "affirmative action," freedom of speech and bailouts for student debt. Join me today as I unpack these rulings and offer analysis. Happy Hour: More on affirmative action and why I don't believe you can be a Christian and vote in favor of abortion SHOW NOTES

What is MTHFR? Today, Dr. Mark is back to talk about growth hormones, the MTHFR gene, how to help a child get off an inhaler, how to recover from a hysterectomy and more. Dr Mark deals in HOPE, don't miss it! sherwood.tv/heidi SHOW NOTES

You guys hear me talk a lot about 501(c)(3)s, and a listener asked for some specifics. What does that status really mean, and is it a blessing or a hindrance? Or maybe both? We see churches these days hide behind it and choose not to address difficult issues in the name of not being “political.” But what is really required to maintain that status, and is it becoming an idol? Let’s talk about it. SHOW NOTES

This year’s “all ages” Seattle Pride Parade included something you don’t often see in public: adult men on bicycles wearing helmets but no pants—in front of children. This was shocking in and of itself but the more shocking thing is that no one complained. This is a battle for the hearts and minds of a new generation—and whether or not we win it will depend on how committed God's people are to being salt and light. SHOW NOTES

The Bible talks about having strength in our weakness, but when it comes down to it, that is difficult to walk out. What does it really look like when we're afraid, our jobs or family are threatened, our quiet family life is at risk? How do we step out of the boat when all we see are the storms coming? Let's talk about it. It's too important to miss. SHOW NOTES
