The Heidi St. John Podcast

Today’s feminist movement bears little to no resemblance to the movement that was rallying women together for basic human rights: the right to vote, to own a business for example. Many women today have bought into the lie that feminism will empower and free them. The so-called “Women’s March” is an angry group of women who scream their abortions, and deny the God-given roles of men and women. Its attempt to dismantle the family unit will bring neither power nor freedom. Men and women are different by design. Let’s celebrate our differences and stop trying to pretend they don’t exist.

Recently, Babylon Bee put out a satirical headline that struck a little to close to home for many people when it showed a picture of a yellow school bus dropping kids off and declared, “Thousands of Kindergarteners Dropped off Across the Nation for First Day of Grooming.” Before you get offended, consider this: Parents are putting their kids on these buses, and sending them to places that are teaching them that their gender is malleable, that God doesn’t exist, and that the earth is on a collision course thanks to “climate change.“ Government schools are teaching false history, creating social activists and kids who don’t know how blessed they are to live in America. Education is not neutral! Listen in as I talk about this very important topic. SHOW NOTES

Have you ever struggled through seasons of disappointment, distress or discouragement? My hunch is that, like me and so many others, you have. The apostle Paul was no stranger to suffering and yet, he often spoke of living in the “fullness of joy.” Corrie Ten Boom, who suffered under the Nazis and lost most of her family in the holocaust said, “Joy is not a product of your circumstances. It is the unmistakable sign of the presence of God.” Today, I’ll be sharing some thoughts on why I Christians should be known as people of joy… no matter what they are facing. Strength is found in the joy of the Lord! SHOW NOTES

I’m podcasting today from Kona, Hawaii—and answering your questions!  An anonymous listener from KY is curious about plastic surgery and a listener in Massachusetts asks, “How do we find a church that isn’t woke?” Listen in as I discuss signs of a true gospel-centered church and and more, including thoughts from Psalm 124.

In our 24/7 news cycle, it’s easy to become addicted to drama. The headlines scream the next crisis and culture reacts accordingly. New day, new disease. New day, new directive. The result? Many of us, and consequently our children, are addicted to adrenaline and its cousin, cortisol—and it’s not good for us. The Bible teaches us that fear is a spirit and that it is not from God. So what to do? How can we live free from fear and walk in newness of life in Christ? How can we teach our children what it looks like to walk in peace regardless of what’s happening around us? Listen in as Dr. Mark Sherwood and I discuss it!. SHOW NOTES

Is yoga harmless? Is it just another form of exercise, or is the strong spiritual component of yoga something Christians should be wary of? Yoga means "to yoke" or to open oneself up and invite in the spirit of yoga. Yoga sutras are a basically a guidebook for divination, which God expressly prohibits in the Bible. Listen in as Jessica Smith makes a strong case for how the poses alone invite spiritual forces into our lives that have no place in the lives of Christ followers. The Bible says, "You shall have no other God's before Me." Let's talk about alternatives to yoga today! SHOW NOTES
