| 0:06.3 | This is the Heidi St. John podcast. And today you guys are really in for a treat because my friend, the founder of the homeschool legal defense association, Mike Ferris, is in the studio with me. He is obviously the founder of the HSLD Association, which I talk about probably ad nauseum |
| 0:22.4 | over here. But he has done so many things. It's incredible. I was just asking him for his bio. |
| 0:27.2 | And Ferris is a constitutional appellate litigator. He served as the lead counsel in the United |
| 0:32.1 | States Supreme Court, eight federal circuit courts and the appellate courts of 13 states. |
| 0:36.9 | He's been a leader on Capitol Hill |
| 0:38.2 | for over 30 years, is widely known for his leadership and homeschooling. He also served recently as the |

| 0:48.7 | and I'm going to let him tell you all about it. You guys are going to love this episode. Stick around. |

| 1:27.2 | seeing them and he |
| 1:28.3 | lives in just outside of Indianapolis. And so I love to hear these stories. These people love |
| 1:35.1 | the Lord and they're passionate about helping you guys feel better. So check them out at the |
| 1:39.2 | Functional Medical Institute. If you guys are interested in the many things that Dr. Mark and I |
| 1:43.8 | have talked about |
