The Heidi St. John Podcast

I'm with my friend Ken Ham today and we're talking through the most common questions he gets at the Creation Museum. Genesis matters as the foundation of the Word of God. Happy Hour is full of Ken's funny family stories, including Australian slang and the surprise home birth of their eldest child! | SHOW NOTES

I’m hitting several parenting questions about teens and others that have a similar root: my husband and I disagree. How do we settle our disagreement? The marriage is the primary relationship in our home, so it’s critical that we figure out how to handle parenting disagreements. During the exclusive Happy Hour with Heidi, I’m sharing practical reminders to help finish the school year well. We can do this! SHOW NOTES

Movies, television, and novels falsely represent dating and marriage, giving us unrealistic expectations of what true love looks like, setting our young women up for difficulty and disappointment as the illusion dissolves. A beautiful counterpoint to those dreamy fantasies, Before You Meet Your Future Husband focuses on three areas a young woman needs to address in preparing for marriage. If you have influence in the life of young women, listen in for this excellent resource. During Happy Hour with Heidi, Robin and Tricia share stories that feel like disappointments but turn into visible fingerprints of God. We also visit about how we all started writing. Don’t miss it! SHOW NOTES

There is a very big difference between the two, and teachers have a limited jurisdiction in the training of our students. But it is plain to see they are overstepping all over the country. Listen in, and let's talk about what these words mean and how they should pan out in our schools. In our Happy Hour with Heidi, let’s talk about what we share with our own children as we talk about our personal walk with the Lord.

A recent survey of American children and their parents revealed that 75% of the children who experience gender dysphoria were female, while just 25% were male. Our girls are under attack, and we must proactively address this with our daughters. During Happy Hour with Heidi Patti is sharing some of her hardships and mistakes in life and the shame that came with them. But we’re not stopping there, because the Lord is the God of Redemption!​ NOTES

Washington state bill SB5599 says that a child as young as 13 can leave your home and receive gender altering treatment without parental permission. ACTION for Washington State: Call 360-902-4111, press 2, and tell Governor Inslee not to sign this atrocious bill. I’m also touching on the specifics of how some school choice programs work. Every state is different, but we can all learn from each other. During the Extended Happy Hour with Heidi I’m answering your VIP questions and talking about what we can do to stand up against government overreach. NOTES

In a culture that’s fixated on outward appearance, many young girls are left feeling like they don’t measure up to ever-changing ideas about beauty.
