You know what I hear from homeschool moms everywhere? They want biblical accuracy without the fluff.

0:05.8

A recent survey by my friends at Lifestone Ministries found that 46% of Christian families say that

0:12.0

theological soundness is their top concern in a Bible curriculum. This is why I love the

0:17.2

Illuminate Bible series from Lifestone Ministries. Unlike workbook heavy programs that

0:22.3

drain the joy from Scripture, Illuminate takes your family deep into God's Word in just 15

0:27.5

minutes a day. No endless crafts or surface level lessons, just pure biblical truth. Each week's

0:34.1

simple five-step approach walks you through the story, context, scripture connection, doctrine, and real-life application of what you're studying.

0:42.8

And with one parent guide serving multiple children, that's less than $1 a lesson.

0:48.1

If you want a curriculum that's built on sound theology and biblical alignment, you'll find it here.

Hey everybody, this is Heidi St. John. Welcome to the Heidi St. John podcast. You guys are in for a treat

1:07.4

today because my favorite person on the face of the earth, Bar none, is here

1:12.8

with me in Kona, Hawaii, which is where we're recording this from. J. St. John is joining me in the

1:16.9

studio date to answer listener questions. We're going to be talking about marriage the whole time. Stick

1:22.4

around. I think you're going to be encouraged.

1:34.3

Thank you guys for listening today.

1:39.1

As you can see, if you're watching this on Rumble, today you'll notice that Jay and I are not in the studio.

1:40.5

We're not even at home.

1:41.2

We're here in Kona, Hawaii, celebrating our 36th anniversary. And we thought we could finish answering your questions in one show. But as it turns out, we couldn't because there were just too many questions. And a lot of them had to do with sex and intimacy. So if you missed the first episode of that, you're going to want to tune in for that. This one has, I think, maybe one or two questions left on that topic, and then we're going to branch into other topics, which reminds me, this podcast is rated M for marriage. Because we're going to talk about marriage today. And we are not going to really hold any punches. So if you've got little ones around or you just don't want to, you just like, I don't actually want my kids to hear about this, then this is your opportunity to turn the podcast off because we're going to talk about marriage today. And there's nobody that I like talking with marriage about more than Jay St. John. So I'm excited that he's here with me to tackle your questions. Today's podcast is being sponsored in part, as you guys well know,

2:35.4

by my friends, doctors Mark and Michelle Sherwood at the Functional Medical Institute. I love those guys.

2:42.1

They're great. I mean, we know them personally and hold them in the highest regard. And also,

2:47.1

they got your girls on hormones. So you're happy about that.
