I met an Iraqi born Christian when I was in Arizona recently. What he said about our southern border sent shivers up my spine. America is ripe for judgment. As much as I'd love to talk about sourdough and homeschooling—the message God has put on my heart is simple: the only thing that will stop what's coming to the United States and Europe is repentance.

Today I am joined by Tracy Tourneur, an American married to a wonderful Frenchman. They have been homeschooling in France until, under the direction of President Macron, they were denied this fundamental right. This is yet another example of how the left is attempting to separate children from their parents and deny the basic fundamental rights of parents to direct the upbringing of their children and a chilling look into coming struggles for the United States.

The past week has been horrific for Israel. The evil attacks by Hamas, the brutal killing of innocent civilians and the pleasure they take in it should be unilaterally condemned in the United States. But in our Universities and in our major cities, Hamas' brutality is being celebrated. God warned that there would be unrest in this part of the country—a never ending struggle between the descendants of Isaac and of Ishmael. But has God's heart toward Israel changed? And how should Christians respo...

Do you get to the end of a month and realize that you did a lot less than you had planned and you have little together-time to show for it? We hear that the years are long, but the days are short, so how are we using each day? Do you have time for family dinners? Camping trips? Date nights? Or do sports schedules dictate your weekends? My guest Steve Demme is here today to make a case for intentionally choosing family time over most of what our culture says is important. SHOW NOTES: http://heidi...

Having grown up in the Buddhist religion, Jonnathan Truong understands firsthand the dangers of yoga and yes, why he believes Christians should avoid it. This seems to be a pretty difficult topic for yoga-loving Christians, some of whom are quite unwilling to even consider giving it up. Jonnathan's story of faith is encouraging.

Of all the podcasts I have recorded, NONE has received as much feedback as this topic. It's alarming that most Christians who religiously practice yoga will defend their practice with more fervency and passion than their relationship with Jesus Christ. Christians! Is it any wonder that we are struggling so much when we refuse to rid ourselves of the very things that God warns us against? Listen in as I discuss this topic and more at today's podcast.

For generations in the United States and in most western cultures, we have outsourced 90% of the training of our children. We send our kids to Sunday School so they can be trained in the Bible, we send them to public or Christian schools for their academic training, and we get them at breakfast and dinner to begin and end the day. No wonder we’re losing our kids. Today I’ll be talking about why this has to change. Show Notes: http://heidistjohn.com/blog/podcasts/outsourcing-parenting...
[Listener Favorites Replay] Should Christianity mix with yoga? Are yoga poses benign if we do them but don't engage in the spiritual practice behind them? This is the question I'm asking my guest, Jessica Smith, who taught yoga for many years. Jessica has a unique perspective and a solid biblical stance on this modern controversy. Yoga is one of the six orthodox schools of Hindu philosophical traditions, yet many Christians today are practicing yoga with the belief that yoga's deep ties to Hindu...
The last three years have been difficult — to say the least. Loss of jobs, friendships, trust—anger, loss of freedom. The list goes on and on.
