Today I'm talking with my friends Shon and Jess Thornburg from Love Life about something very close to my heart: abortion, the church, and what it looks like to actually live out our pro-life convictions. You'll hear how God took a simple “yes” and used it to turn their church into a true House of Refuge—where babies are being saved, moms and dads are being loved, post-abortive men and women are finding healing, and ordinary believers are learning how to show up at the darkest places with the light of Christ. If you've ever wondered, “What can my church do?” or “Where do we even start?”, this episode will encourage you to get off the bench and into the battle for life.Prime Sponsor: No matter where you live, visit the Functional Medical Institute online today to connect with Drs Mark and Michele Sherwood.

In Part 2 of my conversation with E.Z. Zwayne, we go deeper into God's design for marriage, leadership, submission, and purity. We talk about what real biblical headship looks like, how grace restores the home, and why strong families are essential in a culture that's drifting fast.Prime Sponsor: No matter where you live, visit the Functional Medical Institute online today to connect with Drs Mark and Michele Sherwood.

On this Fan Mail Friday, I'm answering your questions about homeschool grads walking away from biblical truth, the Ten Commandments in public schools, surprise pregnancy at 45, hospitality, family service, and biblical discipline in a soft-on-sin culture. We'll talk apologetics for kids, how to speak truth with grace, growing in confidence to share your faith, and I'll even pull back the curtain a bit on Jay's role in our family and ministry—plus a fun “should we get another dog?” question. Grab your Bible and a cup of coffee—this one is all about discipling your family to stand firm in a world that's lost its way on the Heidi St. John Podcast.Prime Sponsor: No matter where you live, visit the Functional Medical Institute online today to connect with Drs Mark and Michele Sherwood.

Bold, patriotic students across the country are stepping up to lead—but too many adults are shrinking back. Today I talk with Turning Point USA's Evergreen Field Rep, Ruby Ruiz, about the explosive growth of Club America, the real resistance happening inside our public schools, and the urgent need for adults with courage to stand alongside this rising generation.

Today I'm sounding the alarm. Truth is under assault, emotions are ruling the moment, and believers are getting swept into chaos because we've forgotten how to discern. From social-media outrage to AI-driven confusion, we are in a battle for wisdom — and the stakes are high.Join me as we dig into what biblical discernment really is, why it matters right now more than ever, and how we can train our hearts and minds to cling to truth in a world addicted to lies.

Today I'm talking straight from my heart about the growing fracture inside the conservative movement—and why a house divided against itself cannot stand. We'll bring it all back to the Word of God as I answer your Fan Mail Friday questions: finding solid Christian candidates, raising young adults who still live at home, walking with an unbelieving spouse, homeschooling when you're exhausted, worrying over kids who aren't walking with the Lord, and even what marriage will look like in heaven.

Today I'm talking with homeschool mom and Cedarville University's Rachel Kimble about one of my favorite subjects: teaching our kids to think biblically in a world that's lost its mind. We'll talk Deuteronomy 6, everyday discipleship at home, and why your time—not the system's—is your greatest tool for shaping worldview. We'll also unpack when college still makes sense, how dual enrollment can help, and why discernment matters now more than ever.Prime Sponsor: No matter where you live, visit the Functional Medical Institute online today to connect with Drs Mark and Michele Sherwood.

Today my friend Emeal “E.Z.” Zwayne from Living Waters joins me in the studio to talk about his powerful new book, Fight Like a Man. He shares his radical story—from gang life and near suicide to a life transformed by Christ—and we dive into what's eroding the strength of men today, how to reclaim integrity, and why this cultural moment demands courage. We also talk about how wives can support their husbands with truth and grace.

Today we're diving deep into one of the toughest challenges Christians are facing right now—how to live faithfully in a culture that's openly hostile to biblical truth. My friend Natasha Crain joins me to talk about her powerful new book, When Culture Hates You, and how we can stay grounded, gracious, and bold in our witness even when the world pushes back. We'll talk about why our faith has to shape our politics (not the other way around), why knowing your Bible is key to standing firm, and how to keep your heart soft when the battle gets exhausting.

Riley opens with a bombshell - a temporary restraining order filed amid her appointment to the Sumner County Library Board. She breaks down what happened at the first meeting, why the lawsuit really targets her, and why the fight is about more than procedure—it's about which books sit in front of kids. Then she takes listeners back to the 2023 Brave Books story hour with Kirk Cameron, the moment that sparked her activism and the backlash that followed. A candid look at faith, motherhood, and fearless conviction—plus the story behind “We Just Asked for 30 Seconds of Quiet.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Jase and Al reminisce about their family's brief history as teenage “runaways,” when no one bothered to send a search party—and how that hands-off parenting style turned out to be pretty effective. Guests Jeremy and Melissa Souza of Good Simple Living share how they built an off-grid homestead from scratch, raised their kids with purpose and grit, and found real community beyond the internet. The guys, Jeremy, and Melissa laugh about learning self-reliance the hard way, surviving on wit and curiosity long before homesteading was cool.

Today we're talking about your God-given right to raise, educate, and disciple your children without government interference. New Jersey is pushing two bills—A5825 and A5796—that would tighten control over homeschoolers, while UNESCO and the UN advance “global citizenship” and standardized education worldwide.My friend Mike Farris—founder of HSLDA and a longtime defender of homeschool freedom—joins me to explain what these proposals actually do, why “curriculum alignment” is so dangerous, how treaties like the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child come into play, and why what happens in New Jersey won't stay there.If you homeschool—or just care about parental rights and liberty—this episode is your call to stay informed, stay engaged, and stay off the bench.Prime Sponsor: No matter where you live, visit the Functional Medical Institute online today to connect with Drs Mark and Michele Sherwood.

Post-election, I step back from the noise to ask where America is headed—and why cities are embracing leaders and policies at odds with our Judeo-Christian roots. We'll unpack the cultural and spiritual fallout of rising socialism and anti-Semitism, and what shifts in places like New York and Dearborn mean for the rest of the country. Then author Becca Keating shares what life under Sharia law looked like in the Middle East—and why Americans must grasp the worldview behind it.

David Platt is here today, and I'm SO excited about this conversation. He recently got back from Brazil and shared some incredible stories from his time there, and we talk about the role we play in the Gospel reaching every nation, including unreached people groups. We were never meant to watch the harvest from the sidelines. We were created to experience life by leading others to life. The harvest isn't just a mission—it's an invitation.

In fact, if you're single today or you have a friend who is, we'd love to invite you to come be a part of Single Purpose League. It's a community of women who are finding their single purpose and their purpose while single.

Fall is so packed full and it can be hard to prioritize our bodies. And what does it even mean to be a good steward of our bodies without obsessing over them? Jordan Lee Dooley is back to help us with that today! She's in a totally new season of life — mom of three under three. She opens up about how so many of us wrestle with this idea that our bodies are failing us and this new understanding of what it really means to steward our bodies — not just like them or fix them, but truly honor them as part of the calling God's given us. Her new book, Be Good to Your Body, dives deep into that idea. I can't wait for you to hear this conversation. If you're following along in your TSF Seasons Guidebook, we're on page 114.

Today we're re-airing a special conversation that I got to have with my sister, Tatum Green, and our friend and counselor, David Thomas. We first shared this conversation back in February when Where Did TJ Go? released, and it's one that so many of you have told me has stayed with you. Today on October 15th — Infant Loss Awareness Day — we wanted to bring it back, to honor the families who have walked through loss, to hold space for your stories, and to remind you that you're not alone. This is a tender and honest conversation — we talk about grief, faith, and what it looks like to keep trusting God when life doesn't turn out the way you thought it would. David offers such wise, gentle guidance, and I'm just so grateful for how he helped us put words to what can feel impossible to say. If you're following along in your TSF Seasons Guidebook, you'll find note-taking pages for this episode back in the winter section, on page 19.  . . . . .

Most of us listen to music every day—but what if it could do more than just fill the silence? In this powerful conversation with father–daughter duo Mort and Sara Sherman, authors of Resonant Minds: The Transformative Power of Music One Note at a Time, we explore how music shapes brains, bonds families, and even heals communities. From lowering stress and strengthening executive function to synchronizing our brainwaves with others, music is not just entertainment—it's a tool for resilience, connection, and joy. They dive into how families can bring intention to their musical lives: building playlists for focus and calm, using rhythm to spark creativity, and transforming ordinary days into memory-rich experiences. Whether you're a lifelong musician or someone who simply hums in the car, this episode will inspire you to see music—and parenting—in a whole new light.

What happens when you raise kids without smartphones, video games, or social media in a world where nearly everyone else is plugged in? Twins Andrew and Evan Hempe are living proof that screen-free childhoods don't leave kids behind—they launch them ahead. In this powerful and refreshing episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Ginny Yurich welcomes Andrew and Evan to share their firsthand experience growing up differently—and why it gave them the confidence, creativity, and connection so many of their peers are missing. From conversations about dating in the digital age to battling conformity with humor and real hobbies, these 21-year-olds deliver truth with clarity and heart. They also expose the myth of the “binge gamer,” give parents permission to follow their gut, and make the case that raising screen-free kids isn't just possible—it's better.

Four years ago, Dr. Chris Winter—the world's “Sleep Whisperer” and author of The Rested Child —became the very first guest on The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast. The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast. That one conversation sparked a journey that's now reached 550 episodes and over 12 million downloads. In this milestone episode, Dr. Winter returns to share why screens, light, and temperature may be quietly sabotaging your family's sleep—and how surprisingly simple changes can transform both rest and mood. With practical, often ingenious tips (think: lightbulb swaps, dimmer switches, and even warming a bed with water bottles), this episode will leave you feeling empowered to help your kids and yourself sleep better starting tonight. From the lost “time cues” of old TV schedules to the role of heavy work in preparing the body for deep rest, Dr. Winter reveals fascinating insights you won't hear anywhere else. He explains why the average pediatrician gets only an hour of sleep training, why excessive sleepiness in kids is often misdiagnosed, and why he believes no child should be labeled with depression or attention issues without a sleep evaluation. Whether you're a sleep science geek or a tired parent desperate for solutions, this full-circle conversation will leave you both nostalgic and newly equipped for the school year ahead.

Pastor, author, and activist Lucas Miles joins me today for a candid conversation about the challenges facing today's church. Lucas, author of Woke Jesus, brings a powerful perspective on how wokeness has infiltrated the pulpit and what it means for believers navigating these cultural shifts. We're exploring the importance of standing firm on biblical truth while engaging a culture that often resists it. Whether you're a church leader or a believer seeking to stay grounded in faith, this episode will encourage and equip you to think critically and biblically about the pressing issues of our time.Lucas Miles | lucasmiles.org | nfluencechurch.orgPrime Sponsor: No matter where you live, visit the Functional Medical Institute online today to connect with Drs Mark and Michele Sherwood.

In this powerful episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, a favorite guest Heather Thompson Day returns for her second conversation, diving into the tough realities of childhood bullying and how we can protect our children from harm. Drawing from her own experiences, Heather discusses the impact of exclusion, the importance of empathy, and how the brand-new children's book she wrote with her daughter London called Can I Sit Here?, is helping kids understand and process loneliness and bullying. Heather also shares a unique practice she's used to track God's faithfulness, reinforcing the power of resilience and gratitude in challenging times. This episode is a reminder that as parents, we must recognize the gravity of our children's emotional struggles and step in to guide them. It's about teaching them to stand up for themselves and others, while also showing them how to be the kind of friend who sees and supports others in need. Heather offers not just stories, but actionable insights that will resonate with any parent navigating the complexities of childhood today.

Bestselling novelist Amanda Dykes joins The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast for a conversation that will stir your heart, lift your eyes, and invite you to marvel again at the wonder that surrounds us. In this episode, Amanda shares the tender backstory behind her career shift from English teacher to award-winning author, and how deep grief gave way to deep creativity. We explore the making of her stunning new book A Pocketful of Wonder, a field guide for children to experience God's creation through poem, prayer, play, and music. Along the way, Amanda and Ginny talk about the courage to pursue creativity, the mysterious work of God in delays and detours, and why beauty is not frivolous—it's essential. Amanda's words are a balm, reminding us that wonder is a battle cry in a heavy world, and that attention is one of the greatest gifts we can give our children. You'll hear about concrete poems, whimsical squirrel illustrations, nature's instruments, and how a single drop of rain in the desert can unleash the aroma of hope. This conversation will inspire you to step into the preposterous beauty all around—and bring your kids with you. A huge thank you to our sponsors!

It seems like it would be good to see culture focusing back in on femininity and women being willing to highlight the enjoyment of being back at home and all that comes with it, but when the focus is the aesthetic instead of the heart, it gets all out of balance. Let's look at what the Bible says about women being keepers at home, and what keeps us anchored there. Prime Sponsor: No matter where you live, visit the Functional Medical Institute online today to connect with Drs Mark and Michele Sherwood.

What if the messiness of family life is where the magic really happens? In this delightful and deeply thoughtful episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Ginny Yurich welcomes back bestselling author, lawyer, and father of four Justin Whitmel Earley for his third appearance—and it's their most heartwarming one yet. Together, they explore how to reclaim the freedom of childhood, why imaginative picture books matter (even for big kids), and how families can find rhythm and joy amid the chaos. From hilarious sibling dynamics to deeper truths about embodied spirituality, this conversation will leave you inspired to slow down, read more, and laugh at the beautiful mess of it all. Justin also shares the story behind his charming new picture book, The Big Mess: A Deliciously Funny Story of Siblings Learning to Get Along, and gives us a sneak peek into his upcoming book The Body Teaches the Soul—a powerful invitation to rethink health as a blend of spiritual and physical rhythms.

What if technology didn't keep kids inside—but actually helped launch them out the front door? In this powerful third conversation with COSMO Technologies CEO Russell York, we explore how family-first tech can help revive real-world childhoods, spark neighborhood friendships, and reconnect parents to peace of mind. With their newest release, the Junior Track 5, COSMO has reimagined GPS-enabled kids' watches to prioritize freedom, safety, and community. Russell shares why helicopter parenting is giving way to “satellite parenting”—a thoughtful model that allows kids to roam while still staying connected. We talk about why Big Tech has failed families, how back-to-school season is the new New Year, and what it takes to make screen-free summers actually work. Whether you're homeschooling, working full-time, or somewhere in between, this episode offers both a mindset shift and a practical tool for reclaiming childhood in the digital age.

In this unforgettable episode, world-renowned surfer Bethany Hamilton shares the story behind the headlines: the wild love her parents had for surfing and for nature, how she passed that passion to her own kids, and how the ocean became both playground and healer.

Bethany and Ginny dive deep into the power of outdoor legacy, what it means to live aligned with your calling, and how we can help our kids find joy beyond screens.

Can a single cup of tea shift your entire day? In one of her favorite episodes ever, Ginny sits down with herbalist and author Rachelle Robinett to explore the ancient, globally practiced art of herbalism—and why it might be exactly what our stressed-out, fast-paced culture needs. Rachelle's book, Naturally: The Herbalist's Guide to Health and Transformation, offers both a gentle invitation and a practical guide for weaving herbs into everyday life. From nervines and adaptogens to bitters and mushrooms, you'll learn how plants can support sleep, digestion, resilience, clarity, emotional balance, and so much more. This episode demystifies herbalism and proves that you don't need a homestead or decades of knowledge to start—you just need a teapot and a few minutes. Ginny shares how reading Naturally finally helped her fall in love with herbal tea (after years of resisting it!) and realize that she was already an herbalist all along. Whether you're navigating burnout, anxiety, or the desire to reconnect with nature and yourself, this conversation will leave you feeling empowered, expanded, and inspired to take one small step toward well-being.
