Hey, everybody. This is Heidi St. John. Welcome to Off the Bench with Heidi St. John. Today is Monday, March 8. Thanks for joining me at my little corner of the internet. And today I'm going to take some time and answer questions from listeners. Stick around. I think you're going to be encouraged.

So I'm glad you guys are here.

Wow, look at that.

We already made it a week into the month of March.

I know a whole bunch of you are going through my book,

Becoming Mom Strong, How to Fight with All That's in You for your family and your faith.

And I hope you guys are enjoying it. So this week is going to be the first week that I actually teach live on that.

not to the back lines, not to the sidelines, but to the front lines. And so if you're feeling

weary right now, I want you to listen, because if you feel disqualified, a lot of you are writing into me since I told you last Tuesday here that my husband and I had decided

that God was calling me into the political realm. And so I announced my run for the United States

House of Representatives. And we're getting a lot of questions from you and a lot of comments saying,

hey, I just don't feel qualified. I'm too weak. And I want you to remember something about how

the Lord sees you. Each time, Jesus said, my grace is all you need. Because my power works best in weakness. So if you're feeling weak right now, if you're

feeling unqualified, if you're feeling afraid, congratulations, you're right where he wants you.

Because God works through our own brokenness. That's what makes it so amazing. The verse goes on to
