Off The Bench with Heidi St. John Heidi St. John

LifeWise Academy is on a mission to reach school children with the gospel—during school hours!  When LifeWise launched in 2018, the initial goal was to serve 25 schools by 2025, but it surpassed that long ago. By the start of this year, LifeWise had set up chapters in more than 300 schools in a dozen states, teaching 35,000 public school students weekly Bible lessons that are usually scheduled to coincide with lunch or non core courses such as library, art or gym class.

Do you feel like you’re moving in the same direction with your spouse or just landing in the same room together every night? Today I’m joined by Gina & Julia Barbero and we’re talking about the importance of being on a shared mission with your spouse, collaboration with and support of each other. Money can be a major stressor in marriage, but it’s also a tool for a whole lot of good.

I want doctrinally sound worship music back. Where do I find it? | My husband cheated for almost a year. I’ve forgiven him and don’t want a divorce, but he doesn't want to work it out. | Are head coverings for women just a tradition we don’t need to follow? What does the Bible say about them? | I’m a new Christian. How do I study the Bible? | How do the different Bible translations differ?

My friend Abbie Halberstadt is joining me today and we’re here to encourage you on the marathon that is motherhood. We’re chatting about prioritizing family, ordering your days with intentionality, the importance of community and support in motherhood, the power of transparency and authenticity, the impact of social media on motherhood, and the important concept that hard is not the same thing as bad. I know you’ll be encouraged!

Today is Mailbox Monday and I am answering tons of your questions!

Is Biden just anti-Christian? | My 13 year old wants to stay in public school while we homeschool our younger kids. | My husband’s family members are unbelievers and scoffers. How do I interact and not get sucked in? | My son has a really bad attitude problem, and I don’t know what to do. | How do we stop pride month from taking over our town every June? | Where do you buy clothes and support a good company at the same time?
