Judge Dave Larson is joining me here today to discuss the critical role of the judiciary in democracy, the importance of educating the public about judicial races, and the ethical boundaries judges must navigate. He emphasizes the need for judges to apply the law as written, rather than legislating from the bench, and highlights the challenges of judicial selection and campaign finance. We’re also touching on the need for reform in the judicial election process in order to enhance public awareness and trust in the judiciary. In this conversation, Judge Larson highlights the role of education in fostering civic responsibility and the necessity of active participation in democracy to combat tyranny and ensure freedom.

This conversation is straight fire! You won’t want to miss it.

We are hearing more and more about young kids grappling with same-sex attraction. It's prevalent in the culture right now. Many kids today, many of them coming out of the government school system, see absolutely nothing wrong with transgenderism or same-sex attraction. And it's becoming an increasingly challenging subject for parents to navigate, given the fact that there are a lot of grownups in the room who are telling parents to affirm their child’s every whim. Are you prepared to handle these conversations as they come up? Join me today for a practical conversation about this difficult topic.

There is so much freedom in recognizing that we are not enough, yet we are bombarded with a message to the contrary. Jesus is our enough-ness, and when we believe that, we can walk in the rest of His plan for us. All we need to do is look to the cross, and that tells us all we need to know about our value.  Today in part 2 we're talking about the fourth and fifth myths culture is telling us. I know you'll love Allie. She's one of my favorite millennials! ***Find links and transcription at HeidiStJohn.com***

After America, there is no where to go : An American immigrant shares her family story

Maybe there's a silver lining in the 'Rona. One of our kids has needed some extra focus on character building, and too much activity - even really good activity, can hinder that development of fruit. Our kids need focused discipleship as they grow, and we have to take the time to do that proactively. Today I'm sharing a little bit of what that looks like in the St. John house.
