The Heidi St. John Podcast

In this Christmas Special, I want to invite you to slow down and listen with your kids. Gather them close—on the couch, in the car, or wherever you are—and take a moment to remember why we celebrate Christmas at all. Today, I’m sharing the story of Jesus’ birth and reminding families that God kept His promise by sending a Rescuing King. Jesus didn’t just come as a baby—He came to defeat sin, bring hope, and offer salvation to all of us. This is a meaningful episode to enjoy together as a family on Christmas Day.

Is fear holding you back from what God is calling you to do? Today I’m joined by Dave Pasti, author of Worth the Risk, for a powerful conversation about faith, courage, marriage, and choosing obedience over comfort. This is real-life bravery—the kind that costs something and changes everything.

Our culture pushes teens to choose a major fast—but God cares far more about calling than speed. Today I’m joined by Jeff Reep to talk about helping teens discover how they’re wired, avoid costly mistakes, and make wise decisions about college, majors, and what comes next. If you’re a parent navigating the transition from high school to adulthood, this conversation will encourage and equip you.

Listener questions, hard truths, and no dodging reality. We’re talking tithing, marriage tension, sororities, and why the culture keeps blaming the wrong things for violence. If we won’t name destructive ideas, we can’t confront them. Let’s talk about truth, courage, and keeping Christ at the center—especially at Christmas.

What would happen if our nation returned to the Word of God—together? Today I’m joined by my friend Bunny Pounds, founder of Christians Engaged, to talk about an extraordinary movement leading up to America’s 250th birthday: a seven-day, Genesis-to-Revelation public reading of the Bible in Washington, D.C. This isn’t just an event—it’s a call to repentance, revival, and courageous Christian engagement. We talk about why biblical literacy matters, how God’s Word shapes families and nations, and why now is the time for believers to get off the bench and stand with clarity and conviction. You’re going to be encouraged.

What happens when you stand for truth—and the system decides to punish you for it? My friend Siaka Massaquoi is back, and he’s sharing how a peaceful day in D.C. turned into years of fallout, intimidation, and a front-row seat to a weaponized justice system. We also dig into the conservative “civil war,” the cult of personality problem, and how we discern healthy debate from destructive division. Grab your coffee—this one will light a fire and encourage you at the same time.

Dr. Corey Miller joins me today for a powerful look at how Marxism and secular ideology have taken over our schools, universities, and even parts of the church. If you’ve wondered why the culture feels upside down, this conversation will connect the dots.

We’re not powerless—but we must wake up, think biblically, and engage with courage. This episode will challenge you, encourage you, and help you get off the bench and onto the battlefield.
