Are you stepping into 2026 craving a reset—but unsure what habits, rhythms, or goals actually matter? In this powerful New Year conversation, Heidi sits down with Bible teacher and author Elizabeth Woodson to talk about the lies that shape us, the habits that form us, and the gospel-centered rhythms that lead to true peace, wholeness, and abundance.

Together, they unpack:

If you’re longing for a year shaped by truth instead of trends, this episode will help you start small, stay faithful, and step into the freedom God offers.

Ever feel like your body is failing you? Something to fight instead of something to steward? What if seeing your body wrongly is keeping you from seeing God clearly?

Ultimately, if Jesus chose to have a human body, what does that say about ours?

Join Heidi as she sits down with best-selling author, speaker, and Bible teacher Lisa Whittle to confront a lie many of us have believed without even realizing it: “My body is bad.” Together, let’s unpack what culture tells women about their bodies versus what God actually says, how Scripture reframes our identity, and why “whole body theology” matters.

Ultimately, if you’ve ever wrestled with sickness, chronic illness, weight ups and downs, or the nagging lie that your body is failing you—this is for you.

How many times have you asked yourself: Did I do enough today? Why can’t I keep up like she does? I should’ve had more patience. More connection. More prayer.

You love your kids fiercely, but sometimes you’re running on fumes—and wondering if you’re doing much of it right or just messing up your kids. And then someone says, “Motherhood is your highest calling,” and it just adds to the doubt.

But what if that belief that “motherhood is your highest calling,” although sounds right and good… is actually a lie that’s crushing you? What if that isn’t the whole story? What if your worth—and your identity—isn’t wrapped up in who you are as a parent, but in who God says you are?

Ultimately, what if there is a higher calling?

Join me in this conversation as I interview Vicki Courtney, a mom, grandmother, and author of Motherhood Isn't Your Highest Calling, who is helping women everywhere release the pressure of Christian motherhood and embrace a greater truth: You are more than your role as a mom.

Every generation has wondered about the end times—but with constant headlines, global instability, wars, and the rise of AI, it feels more real than ever. Underneath the question “Is this it?” lies a deeper fear many believers quietly carry: The end times are something to fear.

In this episode, I sit down with apologist and Pastor Jason Carlson to unpack your biggest questions about Israel, prophecy, global conflict, technology, and how believers can live ready—not scared. God’s plan for the end of the story isn’t meant to alarm us, but anchor us.

If you’ve ever felt anxious about the future or confused by what’s happening in the world, this conversation will give you clarity, confidence, and hope.

What We Cover:

-Are we actually living in the end times?

-What the Bible does and does not say about Israel

-How to interpret “wars and rumors of wars”

-Should Christians be afraid of AI?

-Why fear is not God’s intention for His people

-What it means to “live ready” with hope

-The promise behind God’s final plan

Our culture these days is obsessed with identity — how we define ourselves, express ourselves, and justify our choices. But sometimes what sounds like freedom, “God made me this way," is actually a lie that keeps us from living the way He designed us... to glorify Him.

Join Heidi Lee Anderson as she sits down with Amy Davison, co-host of the  @MamaBearApologetics  Podcast, to talk about how this subtle cultural lie is a dangerous one! Not only does Amy share her own story, but she also breaks down why identity is one of the biggest battlegrounds in today’s culture and how to lovingly engage others who might see things differently.

Together, let’s unpack how Christians can root their identity (and their kid’s identity) in Christ—not in their preferences, feelings, or desires. Whether you’re a parent, pastor, or someone wrestling with purpose, let's look beyond “who I am” and rediscover Whose you are.

🧠 Topics We Cover

• Why “God made me this way” sounds biblical—but isn’t

• How identity influences behavior and spiritual growth

• Teaching kids to know who they are in Christ

• Responding with both truth and grace in today’s cultural conversations

• How to balance desires with God’s design

Ever feel like you're living in a world you just can’t relate to anymore? Where prayer has been traded for good vibes, what’s wrong is celebrated as if it’s right, “live your truth” has replaced the truth, and “follow your heart” gets louder applause than following Jesus?

Join me as I sit down with Marian Jordan Ellis, author of the new Lifeway Women’s study Anchored, to expose the tricky lie of “I just can’t relate to this world anymore,” and instead of a bad thing, we’ll find how it’s not only a very good thing, but it’s the very place God positioned us on purpose to shine bright for Him.

All in all, if you’ve ever felt like a spiritual fish out of water — this one’s for you. Together, let’s step forward into the truth that we’re not alone, our God’s not irrelevant, and we’re definitely not without purpose in this post-Christian world.

Have you ever caught yourself shrinking back—unsure if your voice, gifts, or calling mattered as much as the guys around you? Maybe you’ve played small in ministry because you didn’t want to come off as too much. Or wondered if being “quiet” and “safe” was your lane because you’re a woman?

Whew. You’re not alone.

In this episode, we’re trading one of the oldest lies in the book—the idea that women are somehow less in value, voice, or calling—for the truth that God never said that. From Genesis to Jesus, we’ll trace God’s heart toward His daughters and see that His design has always been equal in worth and distinct in role—image-bearers, co-laborers, and essential to the body of Christ.

To help unpack this, Heidi’s joined by two powerhouse Bible teachers and authors, Jami Nato (This Must Be the Place) and Amy Seiffert (Your Name Is Daughter).

Together, the three dive into:

✨ What the Bible actually says about women starting in the beginning of Genesis

✨ How Jesus treated women—and what that reveals about God’s heart

✨ How to confidently live as a daughter of God while linking arms with His sons

This isn’t a feminist rant or a man-bashing session. It’s a freeing conversation about God’s good design for both women and men—and how the enemy’s been twisting it for far too long. Grab your coffee, your Bible, and maybe your best girlfriend—because today, we’re trading the lie of “less than” for the truth of who God says you are.

How can we preach a gospel of peace, yet still find our bodies wracked by anxiety? On the flip side, how do we call our bodies temples of the Holy Spirit, yet regard eating, exercise, or sleep as inherently "unspiritual" activities?

Join me and my sister as we hear from Justin Whitmel Earley, best-selling author The Common Rule and Habits of a Household, challenging the common misconception that habits are just physical or only spiritual. They’re both—physical and spiritual—and together, let’s find how our habits intertwine, the neuroscience behind them, and which ones we should focus on.

When bad things come, what you prayed for didn’t happen, and God feels silent, distant, or even unfair… what do you do? Today, we’re tackling one of the hardest lies to untangle:

“God isn’t faithful, trustworthy, or good when ‘bad’ things happen to us.”

Join me as I chat with best-selling author Gabrielle Meyer, creator of the beloved Timeless series, to trade this lie for a truth that will steady your heart no matter the season: Even when circumstances shift, God’s character never does.

✨ Highlights & Quotes:

Ever felt like deep Bible study is only for pastors, church leaders, Christian influencers, or scholars full of commentaries and Hebrew concordances? I mean, they have degrees in that stuff. They’re trained in theology. They just GET the Bible in a way ordinary Christians don’t. But... me? I’m just normal. I love Jesus and I believe the Bible is God’s very Word that I respect and honor, but I didn’t go to seminary, I’m not bilingual, and I wouldn’t even know where to start.

Join Kristin Nave and podcast host Heidi Lee Anderson to dismantle the lie that deep Bible study is just for experts. They share honest stories, relatable struggles, and practical ways to approach Scripture--with or without a seminary degree.

You’ll hear:

Kristin reminds us that God’s Word was never meant to be locked behind titles, training, or theology degrees. This episode is a gentle but powerful invitation to open your Bible with curiosity, freedom, and expectation.

Whether you’re brand new to Scripture or returning after feeling disqualified, this conversation will remind you: you are invited to the table.
