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.

Seeking Health: Maximizing Health with Long Term Concerns with Dr. Mark Sherwood

Mailbox Monday: Trump, No Contact Kids, and Missionary Stories
Life is just confusing sometimes, isn’t it? Today’s podcast is a collection of questions that don’t have clear answers. Thankfully we have the Lord to lean on and ask for wisdom!
Trump isn’t all that strong on abortion. Should I still vote for him? | Our daughter has gone “no contact” on us and won’t tell us why. | My co-worker has invited me to her homosexual wedding. What should I do? | What missionary stories did you read?
Listen in, friends! I think you’ll be encouraged.

Man on a Mission: Joel Penton is Bringing the Gospel into Public Schools
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.

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.
Inaccurate garbage
Your episodes on libraries are particularly egregious and full of outright lies. This podcast exemplifies “there is no love like Christian hate.” This is why people are leaving the church in record numbers. Enjoy your hate filled echo chamber
