The Heidi St. John Podcast episodes

May 31, 2019 Faith: Personal but Not Private
Culture is so strong that churches are bending to its will. Are you struggling to shine in the midst of it all? The culture is awash with opinions and issues these days—so what does a Christian do? We are called to be full of grace and truth. We must never sacrifice truth on the altar of misguided mercy. Jesus was grieved at the Pharisees’ unwillingness to understand or even seeks God’s heart with issues such as healing on the Sabbath. Today, we’ll look at the similarities between the story in Mark chapter 3 and the church culture today.

May 29, 2019 Deep Waters: Shine | MSI Week 4/4
Do you struggle to be kind? If so, you're not alone. Jesus knew that our words would carry great authority with them, and He devoted much of His earthly ministry to teaching us how to season our words with grace while learning how to speak the truth. Listen in today and I teach from a section of the last week on our study of the power of words from MomStrong International.

May 27, 2019 Should We be Sheltering our Kids? Bible Study Ideas for Families & Encouragement for Weary Homeschool Moms | Mailbox Monday – 771
PBS recently aired a cartoon version of a gay wedding in the long-running cartoon series, “Arthur.” More than ever before, parents need to be vigilant about what they allow their children to watch and listen to. From curriculum to cartoons, today’s parents need to understand this basic truth: education is never neutral. Also in this episode, I’ll be answering a question about Bible study ideas for families and encouraging a homeschool mom who feels like she is failing. Tune in and be encouraged!

Hey everybody, this is Heidi St. John. Welcome to the podcast. Today is Monday, May 27th—it’s episode number 771. I’m so excited that you’ve joined me at my little corner of the Internet. Today is Mailbox Monday, and so—I’m going to be tackling your questions and encourage you. We’ve got a lot of things to cover today.
Stick around, I think you’re going to be encouraged.
All right, so first of all, I just want to say thanks to everyone who has been leaving reviews for the podcast over at iTunes. I love this one from Becky. She said, Heidi lifts my day! Her sweet, perky spirit and gentle encouragement to “get off the bench and into the battlefield” (as my 6 year old quoted to me the other day) is life giving. We enjoy her scripture writing challenges from MomStrong International. I print them and use them for a quiet time activity during church, as well, to keep them focused on God’s Word if they can’t sit still. What a blessing to meet you finally at our state capital.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you Becky. That was an encouragement to me and all of you who are leaving reviews for the podcast over at iTunes. We really appreciate it. Those reviews and your ratings help to get this podcast out to other people. It kind of lets people know that we have a podcast that will be an encouragement to them. Speaking of being encouragement, we have a sponsor at the podcast and I just want to encourage you to visit them because they are part of what i...

Hey everybody, this is Heidi St John, welcome to the podcast. I’m so glad you’ve joined me. Today is Wednesday, May 22nd—it is also week three of the MomStrong International Bible Study. And today we’re going to be talking a little bit on the topic of Matthew 18 and how to confront a friend in love.
Stick around, I think you’re going to be encouraged.
So there’s a lots of stuff going on in the culture right now to talk about. Certainly, the issues that we’re running into—and we do, you know, every day in the culture of—how do I respond? what is my responsibility in the culture with regard to what God has shown me in His Word? And at MomStrong International, that’s what we’ve been studying for the whole month of May. We’ve been studying about the power of our words. The study is called a Deep Waters and the Bible says in Proverbs 18:4 that the words of the mouth are deep waters, but the fountain of wisdom is a rushing stream. And we want to just encourage each other, right? Not just you, not just me, but we want to encourage each other to a place of walking in right relationship with the Lord. And that is certainly the case here at the Bible Study.
If you haven’t joined us, I want to encourage you to join me at MomStrong International. It’s our hope to see you walking in such a way that you can do exactly what God said to do—which is to rightly divide His Word, to be able to apply it to the culture, to be able to apply it to every situation around you, to train your children up in the ways of the Lord. In fact, what we want to do is learn the Word of God, love other people the way God says to love them, and then take a position of leadership in the culture. And that’s what we’re going to encourage you to do. If you’re not following along with me at the MomStrong International Bible Study, you’re missing out—but it’s not too late. You can join us right now and we were still learning. And if you join right now, you can download the whole thing. You can do it with your kids, which is great—a fantastic opportunity for you to do that.
Also, I want to encourage you to come alongside and do the Scripture Writing Challenge with us. So every month I come up with the Scripture Writing Challenge, a plan really,

Today is Mailbox Monday. And as usual, I’m going to be taking questions from listeners and today we’re going to answer several questions—we’re gonna kinda jump all over the map.

May 17, 2019 The Power of Education with Steve Lambert – 767
Most of us think of education as a rather neutral, benign thing that we offer our children as they grow. However, the Bible paints a much different picture for parents when it warns that “When a student is fully trained, he will be like his teacher.” (Luke chapter 6) Join me and my dear friend, Steve Lambert for an insightful discussion that will point parents back to the truth about education.

Hey everybody, this is Heidi St John, welcome to the podcast. Thanks for joining me today in my little corner of the Internet. Today is Friday, May 17th. And as always, I like to have people on my show on Friday who will encourage you in your walk with the Lord and bring it down to where we can really understand it and parse it out. Today is no different. My friend Steve Lambert is on the show with me today and we’re going to be talking about the power of education.
Stick around, I think you’re going to be encouraged.
All right, so today is Friday. I can’t even believe it. Episode number 767. We are just cruising our way through the month of May. Wanted to let you guys know where I’m going to be because I’ve got a lot of you asking. I’ve got about a week and a half off right now, and then I will be in Columbus for the Teach Them Diligently Convention. And actually, my friend Steve—who you’ll hear from in a minute—he’s going to be there with me. Teach Them Diligently is a wonderful opportunity for you to come, bring your family, get encouraged, meet some of these people that you might hear on the radio or otherwise who really have come there to encourage you and answer your questions and pray with you. So come on out. I’ll be there the 30th through June 1st—so May 30th through the 1st of June.
Also right, about that time. It’s a great time for you to jump into the new Bible study at MomStrong International.com. So right now we’re finishing up our study on the tongue, Deep Waters. And we’ve been talking about the power of our words. Really, what it means to honor the Lord with the things that we say,

Hey everybody, this is Heidi St. John—welcome to the podcast. Today is Monday, May 13th. This is Mailbox Monday, episode number 765. I’m going to jump right into it today. We’ve got a lot of stuff to talk about. Stick around, I think you’re going to be encouraged.
So we’ve had a great weekend. Thanks to everybody who came out to Mobile, Alabama for the Teach Them Diligently conference and also to Abundant Life Church in Lee’s Summit, Missouri. You guys have a fantastic thing going on there in Lee’s Summit. I just want to encourage you like we did on Sunday, that what we’re facing in the culture right now—particularly as it relates to parenting, and the attacks that you’re seeing leveled against the family through the public school system, and many other places—are really just a reminder that we are in a spiritual battle. And spiritual battles require spiritual weapons. And so, keep those weapons to the forefront your primary weapons, Mom and Dad—which are prayer and a knowledge, a working knowledge of the Word of God—meaning we study God’s Word to know it so that we know how God wants us to respond to any given thing that’s happening in the culture right now.
It’s Mailbox Monday, and so today as always—I want to get to as many of your questions as I possibly can. Last week we left off talking about the topic of ectopic pregnancy and I said I would come back again and so I’m going to pick that up today.
So this question comes from a listener who asked to remain anonymous and she was asking what is the biblical position, the pro-life position, on treating an ectopic pregnancy. This is a really good question. It’s also a tender topic and I want to just start off by saying—and this is what I always say on my Facebook page, this is what say to people who ask me this when I’m at conferences—is that this is about intent.
