Summary
How do you respond when the church becomes a source of gossip instead of grace? What do you do when God seems silent, your prayers go unanswered, or life doesn't unfold the way you hoped? This week I'm answering your questions about divorce, infertility, difficult friendships, parenting, and learning to trust God's faithfulness even when the path is hard. If you're looking for biblical wisdom in the middle of life's hardest moments, this episode is for you.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody. This is Heidi St. John. Welcome to the podcast. Today is Fan Mail Friday. Hold on to your hat. |
| 0:06.4 | We're going to spend the next little bit of time answering listener questions. Stick around. I think you're going to be encouraged. |
| 0:39.0 | I'm going to take a break from the news. So much happening. I hope you guys have enjoyed this week's shows. Amir Safardi, for going to sake, I was so encouraged, just listening to him, remind us that we can go to God's |
| 0:45.2 | word. You guys, you can go to God's word. When people come to me and they say, I don't know what |
| 0:49.9 | to think about homosexuality and so-and-so pastor over here said this and so-and-so influencer over here said that. I'm like, open up the word of God. God's word was given to us |
| 1:00.7 | so that we would understand God's heart and walk in God's ways. And so we don't need to be |
| 1:07.1 | confused about the things that are happening in the culture right now. We know there are lots |
| 1:10.6 | of voices out there trying to confuse you, what we want as Christians is to be able to listen |
| 1:16.6 | for the sound of God's voice and hear him speaking above all the other voices that are calling out |
| 1:21.1 | to you in the culture right now. And the way to do that is to know God's word. Speaking of knowing |
| 1:25.6 | God's word, you guys, plan to join me this fall |
| 1:28.8 | for Faith That Speaks. I teach a women's Bible study over there, and we're getting ready to open up |
| 1:34.4 | registration for the fall semester over at Faith That Speaks.com. If you want to find out more about it, |
| 1:40.2 | you can actually go there right now. Go to faith that speaks.com and you can find out more |
| 1:45.3 | about my Bible study. Very, very soon, we're going to put the list of studies that I'm going to |
| 1:50.0 | be teaching for the fall season. I don't like to say fall in June because your girl's not |
| 1:57.0 | ready for it. But I just want you guys to get ready. So be thinking about what's going to be |
| 2:00.7 | happening this fall. And I hope you'll be part of my women's Bible study by going to faith |
| 2:07.2 | that speaks.com. So right now we're wrapping up becoming mom strong. I've been teaching through |
| 2:12.1 | becoming mom strong for the last several weeks. We'll take a small break and we'll focus on our |
| 2:17.4 | read through of scripture. |
| 2:18.8 | And then in the fall, in September, we'll start our series of women's Bible studies. |
