The Heidi St. John Podcast

Have you ever been so angry with your kids that you turned into “that” mom? Me too. It’s funny how the sweet children we love from morning until night can also be the ones who see the worst in us.

Join me as I talk about the very real issue of mommy anger with my friend, Wendy Speake, and learn how God offers help for the weary mom. Find Wendy on Facebook here.

About Wendy:

I mother three boys, Homeschooling as we go, and desperately love My Honey. Together we love and disciple, correct and celebrate our quiver full of little men.

Do you believe your struggle with anger stems from the wrong behavior you see displayed in your children? The knee-jerk reactions and blow-ups you’re facing are often a result of a bigger set of “triggers.” Some of these are external, like a child’s disobedience, backtalk, or selective hearing, while others are internal, like an overflowing schedule, sleep-deprivation, or perhaps your own painful experiences from childhood. Triggers: Exchanging Parent’s Angry Reactions for Gentle Biblical Responses examines common parenting issues that cause us to explode inappropriately at our children.

We are not helping people when we sacrifice truth on the altar of mercy. If we continue this, we will see our inability to navigate this in a way that shines the truth of the gospel and shows our love for people who have a wrong understanding of the gospel. It is critical that we learn how to practically learn how to share the truth of the gospel with love.

Dare to Be a Daniel: Talking to Your Kids About Standing for The Lord – This is startlingly new territory for parents: explaining why a man is being celebrated as a woman on the cover of a magazine is not something we’re used to talking about. Here’s the thing: If we don’t set a place for the truth of Scripture at the table of our children’s hearts, the world will set out a feast all it’s own.

What Are We Like When No One Else is Watching? -Are we growing in our walk with God? Today, we’re talking about a “big” word … sanctification. It’s a big word that means a simple thing: grow.  Grow. As Christians, we’re called to live set apart lives—no matter who’s watching.

Are you hoping to merely survive your teenagers? With compassion, wit, and wisdom, Tripp uncovers the heart issues affecting families during the often-chaotic adolescent years.

Fool’s Gold?: Discerning Truth in an Age of Error edited by Dr. John MacArthur

In an age of open-mindedness, many believers accept too much with too little discernment, resulting in great confusion and compromise. But God’s Word makes it clear that not everything that glitters is gold. False teaching is at every turn, and the temptation to embrace it is great. As God’s people we are called to sift through the overwhelming number of traditions and trends and use the truth of Scripture to determine which are the true treasures-and which are “fool’s gold.”

General editor John MacArthur and the contributors of this uncompromising book define the principles of biblical discernment and use them to address several contemporary Christian issues. They provide straightforward, biblical critiques of some popular but unfortunate Christian trends, such as watered-down preaching and doctrinally questionable best-selling books. Dr. MacArthur ends with a practical plan for cultivating discernment in the Chri...

It is the duty of every Christian-not just pastors and elders-to follow the biblical command to cling to what is good and to reject what is not.
