Do you have podcast goals for the new year? Consider anchor. Navigating podcast platforms

can be tricky, but anchor takes the guesswork out of podcast distribution and gives you

access to huge platforms like Spotify and Apple. So whether you're ready to start your

own podcast or take an existing podcast to the next level, anchor by Spotify is something

you need to check out. Want to know more? Check out anchor.fm today and tell them Heidi

sent you. Hey everybody, thanks for tuning in. This is off the bench with Heidi St. John

today is Tuesday, December 22nd. And today I'm going to hit a little bit on some things

that are happening in the news and because we're in such a really busy season right now,

and a lot of you guys are writing into me about marriage and relationships and all that,

I thought, you know, it's the holidays. Let's talk about sex and the busy mom. This is

going to be great. Stick around. I think you're going to be encouraged. So thanks for tuning

in today. You guys, wow, we are almost a Christmas. It's the 22nd. And I have recorded this

podcast in advance. You guys know that yesterday I had surgery for cataracts on my eyes.

I started with one eye and then if it goes well, we're going to do the other one. I think

next week or something like that. So I appreciate you guys praying for me and for our family.

And also just kind of want to let you guys know, wow, we are just every single day. I'm

so encouraged. My staff has been setting up notes for me kind of trying to help me streamline

the podcast a little bit and wanted to give a shout out to Allison from your Belinda

California Renee, Monosano Washington, and then Beverly from Richmond, Virginia who

said, Heidi, thank you so much for what you do. Words can express how valuable your ministry

is in these days. We especially appreciate the podcast, the programs in teaching are filled

with the Holy Spirit's power and discernment. And that is such an encouragement. Thank you,
