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.
