The Heidi St. John Podcast

The Battle of the Books is just one example of how our schools are pushing an agenda to the youngest of our citizens, and one I’m fairly sure you’ll want to know about. It’s devastating, and we absolutely must make ourselves aware and stand up for the next generation! The right to determine what is right for our own children is up for grabs in our culture right now, and we must be get involved and fight for it!

The Radical Cost of Following Jesus, Part 1 and Part 2

A Spiritual Crisis and a Crossroad: How Should Christians Respond? – Looking around, it’s clear that many Christians have unbuckled the belt of truth under enormous pressure from the culture. Many pastors have begun exchanging the truth of God’s Word for the easy “truth” of the world in an effort to be “loving,” except that denying the truth of God is never loving. I have to wonder if those pastors who will not stand on the authority of Scripture care more about winning a popularity contest than they do about speaking the truth.

My friend Elizabeth Johnston is back again for part 2 of our conversation, and today I had her address a mailbox Monday question about an issue our kindergartners are facing across the country. As a mother of ten children, Elizabeth is an outspoken advocate for parental rights. I love this woman because she tells it like it is. Elizabeth encourages parents to get onto the battlefield and engage in the culture wars for the sake of their children. Her viral videos and outspoken passion for truth is making a difference in the fight for faith and family all across the United States and Europe.

Elizabeth is an Activist Vlogger who educates and inspires the public on the burning social and moral issues of the day that are important to families and patriots. She and her husband Patrick, who is a medical doctor, author, and movie producer, have been pro-life ministry leaders for many years and home educate their 10 beautiful children. The growing threat to America’s children and the vicious attack on religious liberty is what dynamited Elizabeth out of her comfort zone to inspire a nation of belittled conservatives and Christians to “come out of their closets” and boldly take their country back. Elizabeth daily triggers the left by confronting the lies of abortion, feminism, Islam, and the homosexual agenda with wit and snark like only she can, and she regularly posts viral commentary videos which have netted over 70 million views. Elizabeth has been featured on many major media outlets, such as Fox & Friends, The New York Times, The Blaze and Christian Broadcasting Network, as she has become a thought leader on topics of importance to families. The pulse behind all her activism and cultural commentary is her love for her family and her Savior, Jesus Christ.

We are in a battle, and I want to encourage you not to be deceived.  It’s time to gird up.  Time to prepare yourself and your children for the battle of your lives! Join us as we begin a study on the strategy of spiritual warfare at MomStrong International.  Let’s get off the bench and on to the battlefield!

Scriptures

Ephesians 6:10-12

1 Peter 5:8

Join us at MomStrongInternational.com for weekly Bible studies, teaching videos and free scripture writing!

It’s easy to become overwhelmed with our schedules, and we’d probably all be lying if we didn’t admit to being there at least once ourselves! In fact, I wrote a book about that! But there are some things you can do to keep from being beat!  Let’s talk about some practical and spiritual strategies today, busy mom!

Scriptures

Matthew 11:28-30

Crazy Busy: A Mercifully Short Book about a (Really) Big Problem by Kevin DeYoung – I’M TOO BUSY!” We’ve all heard it. We’ve all said it. All too often, busyness gets the best of us.  Just one look at our jam-packed schedules tells us how hard it can be to strike a well-reasoned balance between doing nothing and doing it all.  That’s why award-winning author and pastor Kevin DeYoung addresses the busyness problem head on in his newest book, Crazy Busy — and not with the typical arsenal of time management tips, but rather with the biblical tools we need to get to the source of the issue and pull the problem out by the roots.  Highly practical and super short, Crazy Busy will help you put an end to “busyness as usual.”

How Busy is Too Busy? -Life is busy and often there is no end in sight. Join Heidi and Durenda as they help sort out how busy really is just too busy.

Busy Seasons and Weary Souls – God doesn’t clearly tell us in his Word what is too much or too little when it comes to busyness. That’s something we each have to walk out with him. What He does tell us though, is that He wants us to be about HIS business…His agenda. In other words, to be led by the Holy Spirit. Being too busy is only okay if it’s what He wants us to do.

Balance for Busy Moms – So what does this have to do with balance?  First, we need to work to please God, not others.  Second, and it may not seem obvious at first, but if you read from verse 17  back down to that parallel verse, verse 23, you will see something that stood out to me:  I noticed that all of the verses in between 17 and 23 talk about the importance of relationships. Those verses are all about healthy family relationships: wives and husbands are supposed to be in loving relationships with each other; we read that fathers are not to exasperate their children.  God’s Word is telling us that good works situations and healthy family situations go hand in hand.  This takes prioritizing and balancing.  Sometimes, good things rob us of the best things.

Do you enjoy being hospitable or is it more effort than it’s worth?  Do you struggle with insecurity over an undecorated house or lack of confidence in your cooking skills? You are not alone, sister! But it’s important to move past those roadblocks #sothat you can experience and share the blessing of being hospitable.  Let’s Just Open the Door together, women!

 

{ Read the Companion Blog Post Here }

For the last decade, Jen Schmidt has been encouraging, challenging, and cheering on women to embrace both the beauty and bedlam of their everyday lives on her popular lifestyle blog, Balancing Beauty and Bedlam. With a variety of topics—from easy dinner ideas and personal finance to leaving a legacy—Jen equips others to live life to its fullest, reminding them it’s the little things that really are the big things in life. A popular speaker, worship leader and founder/host of the annual Becoming Conference, Jen shares with humor and authenticity as she invites others to join her on this bumpy, beautiful life journey. She lives in North Carolina with her husband, five children, a few too many animals, and an available sofa for anyone who needs it.

Just Open the Door , by Jen Schmidt

For many of us, inviting people into our lives and homes feels more like inviting judgment on our entertaining skills and stress on our already maxed-out schedules. But what if you knew that opening your front door had the power to radically change the world? To make an impact and leave a legacy with everyday invitations?

Jen Schmidt has set out to reframe how we think about hospitality and to equip us to walk a road of welcome in our daily lives. Jen knows that every time we choose open-door living—whether in our homes or by taking hospitality on the road just like Jesus—those we invite in get to experience the lived-out Gospel, our kids grow up in a life-lab of generosity, and we trade insecurity for connection.
