December 12, 2018 Foundational Joy: In Search of Joy 2/3
As we get closer and closer to Christmas, the temptation to find joy in a delivery from Amazon is tempting—but God’s Word says that joy is the undercurrent of our lives as believers. It’s not dependent on circumstances, relationships or any other thing in our lives. Because of the depth of the undercurrent of joy in the life of a Christian, no matter what is happening on the surface, the undercurrent still moves with strength and stability when it is rooted in Christ. Join me today for a discussion from MomStrong International: In Search of Joy and be encouraged!

December 10, 2018 How’s My Witness?
Recently, contemporary Christian music artist Lauren Daigle fumbled her way through what is arguable THE question that the church is grappling with: “Is homosexuality a sin?” But what if we all were ready to give an answer? Join Heidi today as she turns our attention to the our own responsibility to know and share the hope we have in Jesus with the world.

December 07, 2018 In Search of healing, with Susie Larson
“Something within us changes when we understand and live as though Jesus cares about how we feel. And he does care!” Susie explains in Fully Alive. “He cares if our souls feel empty or are in distress. He cares if our bodies feel sick. He cares if our hearts ache or we are afraid. He is with us, and he offers to teach us.”

Maxwell Transformational Leadership Award. Susie’s passion is to see women awakened to the value of their souls, the depth of God’s love, and the height of their calling in Christ Jesus.

December 03, 2018 Mailbox Monday | A Variety of Parenting Questions
Today I’m answering several questions about how we parent small children. From character building (and my favorite parenting books) to the way we handle gifts at Christmas, it all matters to the Lord!

Parenting Isn’t for Cowards: The ‘You Can Do It’ Guide for Hassled Parents by James Dobson
Does your heart skip a beat when you think of all that could go wrong in the parenting years ahead? Anxiety is normal, but your worst fears don’t have to become reality. Speaking both as a therapist and a father―and drawing on a landmark study of thirty-five thousand parents―Dr. James Dobson helps you . . .

* prevent child-rearing troubles before they happen
* banish your guilt about hard-to-raise children
* protect your sanity during a child’s adolescence
* restore your energy when you’re facing burnout
* enhance your relationships with your kids

The 5 Love Languages of Children by Gary Chapman
Does your child speak a different language? Sometimes they wager for your attention, and other times they ignore you completely. Sometimes they are filled with gratitude and affection, and other times they seem totally indifferent. Attitude. Behavior. Development. Everything depends on the love relationship between you and your child. When children feel loved, they do their best. But how can you make sure your child feels loved?
Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters: 10 Secrets Every Father Should Know by Dr. Meg Meeker
In today’s increasingly complicated world, it’s often difficult for parents to connect with their daughters–and especially so for fathers. In this unique and invaluable guide, Dr. Meg Meeker, a pediatrician with more than twenty years’ experience counseling girls, reveals that a young woman’s relationship with her father is far more important than we’ve ever realized. To become a strong, confident woman, a daughter needs her father’s attention, protection, courage, and wisdom. Dr. Meeker shares the ten secrets every father needs to know in order to strengthen or rebuild bonds with his daughter and shape her life–and his own–for the better.
Parenting by The Book: Biblical Wisdom for Raising Your Child by John Rosemond
Picture respectful, responsible, obedient children who entertain themselves without television or video games, do their own homework, and have impeccable manners. A pie-in-the-sky fantasy? Not so, says family psychologist and bestselling author John Rosemond.
In the 1960s, American parents stopped listening to their elders when it came to child rearing and began listening instead to professional experts. Since then, raising children has become fraught with anxiety, stress, and frustration. The solution, says John, lies in raising children according to biblical principles, the same principles that guided parents successfully for hundreds of years. They worked then, and they still work now!

November 30, 2018 “I Think It’s Worth It…”

“I think it’s worth it to declare Jesus to these people…” said John Chau, the young man who was killed as he went courageously to share Jesus with an unreached people group. Was he foolish or brave? If we think he’s foolish, we have sorely forgotten what our Bible says about sharing the Gospel! Don’t miss it today. It is worth it.

November 28, 2018 Don’t Forget
It’s easy to be distracted in December, but I’m encouraging you to keep your eyes on the Lord this season. Spend your time and resources on the things in which God wants you to invest. He wants to be invited into every area of your life, even the little things!

November 26, 2018 Set Apart: Called to Live Differently | Part 3 of 3 | 693
As Christian mothers, we have been given the task to teaching our children about God’s standard—but looking around, it’s clear that many Christians have lost their way under enormous pressure from the culture. This message from the archives has not changed. We’re exchanging the truth of God’s Word for the easy “truth” of the world.
This generation of Christians in a full-blown spiritual crisis. God’s Word, the Bible, says that the Lord grants wisdom. Not the culture, not judges, not the courts. Christians need to cry out for wisdom as we navigate the issues of our generation. The conversation about the redefinition of marriage that’s happening in our churches, and most recently, the decision of the Presbyterian church to allow gay marriage should make followers of Jesus Christ tremble.
Join me as I talk about what God says about marriage. The culture may change, but God does not change. His standard is right—and as Christians, we need to know what God has to say about homosexuality—and then, be willing to take a stand for righteousness.
Come back to the Word of God, Christian! Be led by the Spirit. We either believe God’s Word or we don’t—and we demonstrate that by the way we live our lives. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. (Romans 12:2)

November 23, 2018 Set Apart: Called to Live Differently | Part 2 of 3 | 692
Have you been tempted to place your hope in a person? You’re not alone—but Psalm 62 tells us that our hope should rest in God alone. In a timeless message from the archives, Heidi tells us that our hope as a nation will never be found in a president, in a curriculum, in a pastor or even a parent. Our hope should rest in God and in His Word. This view will not make you popular—but it will bring your peace. Take heart! God has overcome the world!
