January 07, 2019 Feeling Overwhelmed? Mailbox Monday
Feeling overwhelmed? You’re not alone! The struggles we face to get it “all” done boil down to one simple question: What’s important to you? But who defines “important?” For the Christian, the answer is found in the Word of God.

January 02, 2019 A Journey Toward Truth: Winning the Battle for Your Mind – Part 3 of 3 – 709
Resist. It’s the battle-cry of a generation of angry Americans—but according to the Bible, our “resistance” should be focused in one place: the adversary of our souls. Satan is playing for keeps, but God promises victory as we take our thoughts captive to Christ! Listen today as I shed light on a very important battle and we look back to the only source of true victory: Jesus.

Happy New Year everybody! This is Heidi St. John, welcome to the first episode for the New Year 2019, of the Heidi St. John podcast.
Today is Wednesday, January 2nd and we’re going to continue with part three of a three part series – A Journey Toward Truth.
You want to know how to win the battle for your mind? Stick around, I think you’re going to be encouraged.
So, hope you guys had a fantastic New Year’s Day! We are doing some really fun things in my neck of the woods here in Vancouver, Washington. My husband and I opened the Firmly Planted Homeschool Resource Center in October of 2017, so we just celebrated basically our first year anniversary! And what we’re trying to do is give families in this area an alternative to what’s happening around them. So in other words, I’ve noticed a huge shift in the homeschool movement since my husband and I started homeschooling over 20 years ago. It’s a long story, I should probably talk about homeschooling – maybe we’ll do that on Friday. But I never planned on homeschooling.
I’ll just say that. I never planned on homeschooling.

The battle for this generation of souls has concentrated on one singular target: the mind. According to the Bible, God’s people can win the battle for our hearts—starting with the mind. Join me today for part two of this important teaching on truth.

Hey, everybody, this is Heidi St. John, welcome to the podcast!
Today is New Year’s Eve. It is Monday the 31st of December. It’s mailbox Monday but we’re going to continue talking about what it means to search for and find truth. Stick around, I think you’re going to be encouraged.
I hope you guys are having a great day. I don’t know what you’re doing tonight – but I can tell you that as I get older – I like to go to bed earlier. One of the great things about living on the West Coast – I’ll give you a little tip. And moms, feel free if you have younger ones – you can actually do this with your kids if you live out west.
We like to pretend that it’s midnight when it’s really 9:00. So we’ll watch the ball drop in New York City at 9:00 o’clock and bang our pots and pans and go to bed. So there you go. That’s my fun tip for you for this New Year’s Eve. If you got more energy than I do and you want to actually stay up till midnight – then I applaud you.
And so I am really excited because this is the last day of 2018. I cannot even believe how fast this year has gone by and we are looking forward to what God is going to do at MomStrong International in the year of 2019. We are very committed to studying the Word there, and I want to just encourage you – get a friend. – the Scripture Writing community is free. And the study, which will take you more in-depth – we’re going to be studying Balance and what it means to embrace God’s priorities for the month of January.
If you have a friend who you know would benefit from studying the Word, and who wouldn’t? — join us and join the community at MomStrong International.
All right, last week we ended talking a little bit about the search for truth and you guys heard me – I read an e-mail from a listener who was very frustrated and I’ll read it for you again if you missed that. She said:
Heidi, my child’s school is teaching that boys and girls are interchangeable and anyone who disagrees with this is seen as a bigot. Should we insist on teaching our children otherwise and risk having our kids ostracized?
And you heard me say – if you haven’t heard this, I wanted to encourage you go back and listen to Friday’s podcast.
Absolutely! My answer is unequivocally unapologetically – yes yes yes yes yes. Teach your children that God created them in His image. Male and female. This is the truth of the Word of God. And we were living in a culture right now that is absolutely desperate for truth. We’re desperate for it. And we can’t afford to sacrifice truth on the altar of political correctness anymore.

December 28, 2018 A Journey Toward Truth: Why Truth Matters – Part 1 of 3 – 707
A listener writes, “My child’s school is teaching that boys and girls are interchangeable—and that anyone who disagrees with this is a bigot. Should we insist on teaching our son otherwise and risk having our kids ostracized?” Join me to as I answer this question from the Word of God. Real truth is never subjective, it is defined by God Himself.

Hey everybody, this is Heidi St. John – welcome to the podcast! Today is Friday, December 28.
We are coming to the end of 2018. And I thought would be appropriate to end the year out talking about why truth matters.
Stick around for Part 1 of a 3 part series on truth, I think you’re going to be encouraged.
All right. So we are heading around the corner and down the ban to a brand new year. I want to say thank you for those of you who’ve been listening to this podcast with me for quite a while now. If you get an opportunity to leave a review for this podcast I would love it if you would do that. We read all of the reviews that you guys write for us over at iTunes, and I thought it’d be fun to read one for you. This last one was left on the 16th of December, and this woman said:
I love this podcast. Heidi is clearly a student of the Word of God. She brings biblical truth that is relevant for me as I raise my kiddos in this postmodern world when I’m having trouble getting just a few minutes alone for study and prayer. I often listen to the podcast and feeling refreshed and motivated. I appreciate her keeping up with the culture as well. I often feel defeated in this area but she helps remind me of biblical truths that keep me motivated.
Thank you. Thank you so much for that review. We read all of your reviews over at iTunes and you can leave them there. Simply click on the gear shift and you can rate it with a star rating, and then write a review as well.
So we want to say thank you for that. It really does help. Let other people know that this is a podcast that’s worth lis...

December 26, 2018 Walking With God through Suffering
This month at MomStrong International, we’ve been studying the topic of joy… but what happens when we’re walking through suffering? 1 Peter talks about suffering proportionately more than any other book in the Bible. In the passage we’ve been looking at, he draws on an illustration from Isaiah 43. Today, I will be teaching on the metaphor of the fire—but looking more closely at the “refiners” fire and the promise that comes with it. If you’re struggling to understand a purpose for your pain, listen in and be encouraged!

December 19, 2018 The Joy of our Eternal Inheritance | In Search of Joy 3/3
In your part of the world, how do people define happiness? In other words, what’s the difference between happiness and JOY. You see, most people define happiness as a pleasure or an enjoyment. I’m telling you what – it’s found in the Word of God and in walking in right relationship with Him. Jesus isn’t hiding His JOY from you. He wants it to be in your grasp, and we’re talking about how to find it today!

Merry Christmas friends. This is Heidi St. John, welcome to the Heidi St. John podcast!
Today is Wednesday December 19th. This is episode number 703.
Today we’re going to be continuing the study at MomStrong International – InSearch of JOY. The JOY we are looking for is a deep foundational contentment. Let’s find out today how to get it!
Stick around, I think you’re going to be encouraged!
All right you guys. So I am thrilled we are halfway through the month of December and just the other day we reached 10,000 members over at MomStrong International! So keep your eyes out on the forums, out on the chat rooms at MomStrong International – and we are going to start giving stuff away!
I cannot wait to see what God does in 2019 as we study His Word and continue to dig deeper for the answers that we’re looking for as we grapple with the questions of the culture right now.
Couple of things I want to let you know before we dig into today’s study. The first thing is that we have really amazing gift baskets for you at HeidiStJohn.com. If you search for the Heidi St. John Store you will see that we have necklaces. We have two different styles of arrows (here and here), and a Quiver Necklace, we have a brand new series of shirts in the store right now based out of the Psalms.One of them says He trains my hands for battle.
These are great gifts for the women in your life and for the young girls! Their wonderful gifts for your daughters – to let them know that they are arrows in the hands of their warrior Father, The King of kings, and the Lord of lords.
Also, you can get them in baskets. If you do the gift baskets they come with a limited release candle that has arrows, gold embossed arrows, all around it! So check it out at HeidiStJohn.com just click on the store and I hope that that will bless you! Also It blesses us – when you shop from that store it helps us with the ministry here.
