Like many of you, I am in the role of a spiritual example and teacher to my children—and God takes it seriously. He views us as His representatives—He has given us the honor of being His ambassadors. Leviticus contains a lot of rules and regulations that are no longer in place because of the death and resurrection of Jesus—we have been set free from the law—but it’s important that we understand how serious God is about living in a way that honors Him! Do you want God’s blessing? Live in a way th...

The story of Jesus’ encounter with a rich man offers us an incredible insight into the heart of human beings. When the disciples how the rich man could not leave his riches to follow Jesus, they rightly thought of their own inward struggles. They were absolutely right to ask Jesus who in the world can be saved, in light of their own sin and selfishness. Jesus answered by famously saying, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But not with God. Everything is possible with God!” Don’t forget to catc...

Today, I’ll be talking about the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg — are Christians right to memorialize and praise her? Also, let’s talk about forgiveness! Have you ever corrected a child and walked away feeling like the attitude was not quite what you were hoping for? Like the infraction may have been addressed but the heart issue was still there? It can be frustrating, but mama, stay in there. More often than not, the culprit is a lack of forgiveness. ***Find links mentioned and more at H...

Can you imagine what it would have been like to follow Jesus (literally) as He moved in crowds of people? In Matthew chapter 9, we get a wonderful glimpse into the mission and ministry of Jesus. The entire chapter is a wonderful window into the heart in Jesus. He wants us to believe in Him. To trust Him—and to teach our children to trust Him, too. ***Find links and MORE at HeidiStJohn.com***

It seems there’s a lot to be worried about in the world right now. How can we teach our children to be at peace in a world full of panic and fear? The answer is both simple and profound.

One of the themes of my life has been learning how to publicly proclaim my faith. My women’s conference, “Faith that Speaks'' reaches thousands of women every year with one goal in mind: to stir their faith to action. Do we love the Lord? If so, our faith should never be silent, our faith should be a faith that speaks. “Now I stand on solid ground, and I will publicly praise the Lord." Psalms 26:12 ***Find links and more at HeidiStJohn.com***

Do you remember the very first time you help your child in your arms? Do you remember the weight of responsibility and the incredible love that you felt? Of course you do. I remember feeling overwhelmed at the thought that the hospital staff would let me take home a brand new, 9 pound human being. I mean, let’s be honest… I didn’t know what I was doing! Truly, I was just making it up as I went along. Come to think of it, I’m still doing that in many respects. Most of my seven children are grown ...

I will never forget the season when Barack Obama was running for president of the United States. My hunch is that you will never forget it either… his slogan is still with us today. “Hope and change.” It worked, of course. After all, who doesn’t want hope and change? We are a people in dire need of hope! Here’s the thing though, mom: we need to tell our children the truth about hope. Hope isn’t something that we manufacture. It isn’t something we can get from a politician or even a pastor. We do...

19 years ago today, our nation was attacked in one of the worst terrorist attacks in history. Today, we’re being attacked from within. Across the United States right now, police officers are being vilified and maligned as Marxists work to defund the police and promote lawlessness. Today, I sit down with Janel Ralat, wife of a police officer in Las Vegas to discuss what it’s like for the families of our brave men and women on the front lines and how we can support them in practical ways. ***For l...

As the mother of seven mostly-grown children and (currently) three precious grandchildren, I am always interested in ways that I can be an example of action rather than apathy in my life as a Christ-follower.

Have you ever noticed that a large part of what Moses did in shepherding the children of Israel was simply to be their biggest encourager? Moses was constantly reminding the children of Israel who they were, where they have come from, where they were going, and Whose they were.

There is so much fear being put on our children right now. We can never forget that fear is a spirit—and God says that "perfect love casts out fear." As parents, we have an incredible opportunity to teach our children how to thrive in times of anxiety and fear—always remembering that we can’t give what we don’t have. Since we can never know what’s around the corner, we must lean daily into the One who does. We need to be ready to give an answer for the hope that we have in Christ—starting with o...

Last week, over 2500 Christian leaders, university presidents, magazine editors and pastors signed "A Christian Statement on Science for Pandemic Times." They said, "because of our faith in Jesus Christ, we will: wear masks, correct misinformation and get vaccinated," among other things. But is it "Christ-like" to manipulate fellow Believers using Scripture to mandate a vaccine?
