The Heidi St. John Podcast

Today I’m talking with my friends Shon and Jess Thornburg from Love Life about something very close to my heart: abortion, the church, and what it looks like to actually live out our pro-life convictions. You’ll hear how God took a simple “yes” and used it to turn their church into a true House of Refuge—where babies are being saved, moms and dads are being loved, post-abortive men and women are finding healing, and ordinary believers are learning how to show up at the darkest places with the light of Christ. If you’ve ever wondered, “What can my church do?” or “Where do we even start?”, this episode will encourage you to get off the bench and into the battle for life.

In Part 2 of my conversation with E.Z. Zwayne, we go deeper into God’s design for marriage, leadership, submission, and purity. We talk about what real biblical headship looks like, how grace restores the home, and why strong families are essential in a culture that’s drifting fast.

On this Fan Mail Friday, I’m answering your questions about homeschool grads walking away from biblical truth, the Ten Commandments in public schools, surprise pregnancy at 45, hospitality, family service, and biblical discipline in a soft-on-sin culture. We’ll talk apologetics for kids, how to speak truth with grace, growing in confidence to share your faith, and I’ll even pull back the curtain a bit on Jay’s role in our family and ministry—plus a fun “should we get another dog?” question. Grab your Bible and a cup of coffee—this one is all about discipling your family to stand firm in a world that’s lost its way on the Heidi St. John Podcast.

Before there was turkey on the table and football on the TV, there was faith, sacrifice, and a deep dependence on God. In this Thanksgiving Special, I’m taking you back to the pilgrims, to William Bradford, and to the unmistakable hand of God in the founding of our nation. If you’ve been feeling uneasy about the direction of our country, this episode will remind you that gratitude is a spiritual weapon—and that God is still moving in mighty ways. Plus, I’m ending with a sweet “rest of the story” you’re going to love.

Bold, patriotic students across the country are stepping up to lead—but too many adults are shrinking back. Today I talk with Turning Point USA’s Evergreen Field Rep, Ruby Ruiz, about the explosive growth of Club America, the real resistance happening inside our public schools, and the urgent need for adults with courage to stand alongside this rising generation. Our kids are ready. The question is: are we?

Today I’m sounding the alarm. Truth is under assault, emotions are ruling the moment, and believers are getting swept into chaos because we’ve forgotten how to discern. From social-media outrage to AI-driven confusion, we are in a battle for wisdom — and the stakes are high.
Join me as we dig into what biblical discernment really is, why it matters right now more than ever, and how we can train our hearts and minds to cling to truth in a world addicted to lies. This is a wake-up call for the church… lean in.

Today I’m talking straight from my heart about the growing fracture inside the conservative movement—and why a house divided against itself cannot stand. We’ll bring it all back to the Word of God as I answer your Fan Mail Friday questions: finding solid Christian candidates, raising young adults who still live at home, walking with an unbelieving spouse, homeschooling when you’re exhausted, worrying over kids who aren’t walking with the Lord, and even what marriage will look like in heaven. Grab your Bible, friend—this episode will call you back to unity, discernment, and the mission God’s given us in this crazy culture.

Today I’m talking with homeschool mom and Cedarville University’s Rachel Kimble about one of my favorite subjects: teaching our kids to think biblically in a world that’s lost its mind. We’ll talk Deuteronomy 6, everyday discipleship at home, and why your time—not the system’s—is your greatest tool for shaping worldview. We’ll also unpack when college still makes sense, how dual enrollment can help, and why discernment matters now more than ever.

Today my friend Emeal “E.Z.” Zwayne from Living Waters joins me in the studio to talk about his powerful new book, Fight Like a Man. He shares his radical story—from gang life and near suicide to a life transformed by Christ—and we dive into what’s eroding the strength of men today, how to reclaim integrity, and why this cultural moment demands courage. We also talk about how wives can support their husbands with truth and grace. This is a bold, hope-filled conversation you won’t want to miss.

Today we’re diving deep into one of the toughest challenges Christians are facing right now—how to live faithfully in a culture that’s openly hostile to biblical truth. My friend Natasha Crain joins me to talk about her powerful new book, When Culture Hates You, and how we can stay grounded, gracious, and bold in our witness even when the world pushes back. We’ll talk about why our faith has to shape our politics (not the other way around), why knowing your Bible is key to standing firm, and how to keep your heart soft when the battle gets exhausting. If you’re feeling weary or wondering if it’s even worth it to keep speaking truth—this episode will remind you that it absolutely is.
