    The Kids Are Not Alright with Elena Barbera

    The Kids Are Not Alright with Elena Barbera

    Elena Barbera is an average mother turned unlikely filmmaker, and this woman is off the bench and onto the battlefield. American Groomer tells the story of how American children are being sexualized in their schools, how it came to pass that 39 states, it's legal to show porn to school children and what can be done about it. 

    Note: This is a challenging discussion and not a great topic for little ears. Show Notes: http://heidistjohn.com/blog/podcasts/the-kids-are-not-alright-with-elena-barbera

    Ask the Pastor with Phil Hopper

    Ask the Pastor with Phil Hopper

    I’m loving these listener questions with my friend Pastor Phil Hopper. You guys have some good ones today, and we’re talking about a couple things that have happened recently also.

    How do we unpack public situations without creating public drama? | My neighbor says God gives her visions. Is this Biblical? | Do we schedule Biblical healing during our services? | Is it worth it to argue about different views of the end times?

    Why Should Christians Be In Every Area of Influence? With Matt Shea

    Why Should Christians Be In Every Area of Influence? With Matt Shea

    There seem to be a lot of off limits areas where Christians shy away from filling the spaces, leading the conversations, saying the hard things. When we do that, the void gets filled, but it’s missing something. Don't miss my discussion with Matt Shea on why we need Christians in every area of influence today.

Life changing podcast

Heidi, your podcast speaks to my heart daily. I am a stay at home mom of 2 littles ones right now and will be starting our homeschool journey soon with the oldest. I love to hear your thoughts on parenting, motherhood, politics, culture, faith, and so much more. And also how you always point us back to the word. You are like an older mom friend who I can look up to and go to for advice and guidance. Thank you!!! I pray for you and your family and ministry often. Please keep doing what you are doing- it’s making a huge impact!! Love your fiery spirit!!!

Off the Bench

Thank you Heidi and team for such a wonderful podcast. Hearing you and your guests helps me have that sense of belonging we all desire and need in the Church. Unity in Christ and carrying out the race here in America well. Having three young kids and planning to homeschool, Heidi is an amazing resource and feels much like a mentor. Maranatha dear one.
