Speaker Workshops

Invisible
Like Arrows in the Hands of a Warrior

God says that our children have been given to us like “arrows in the hands of a warrior.” The question is, do we see ourselves as warriors? Do we recognize the battle we are in? Are we passive or purposeful in the spiritual training of our kids? God desires that we train and sharpen our “arrows” so that they will be ready to fly when the time is right. Join Heidi St. John as she offers personal insight and practical application on your role as parents.

War of the Worldviews

By now, it’s clear that the agendas of woke ideologues have infiltrated almost every major institution in western civilization. This begs the question “Does the public school deserve to have your children for 8 hours a day?” “Should my children be salt and light in the public schools?” Join Heidi St. John, mother of seven and well-known advocate for parental involvement in education for an eye-opening, excuse-smashing exposé on the agenda of our public schools. See how the schools are pushing gender ideology, homosexuality, Critical Race Theory, and pro-abortion propaganda. Learn the true history of public schools, the real agenda of the NEA, the National Library Association, and more. You’re not helpless in this battle for the heart and mind of your child—we’ll discuss why an “exodus” from our public schools is happening and why homeschooling is growing in leaps and bounds.

Lessons from Esther: Peace in Times of Fear

In stressful situations, can you prayerfully wait for God’s direction and timing? Today we are surrounded by a culture that is opposed to the principles of God’s word. It’s easy to succumb to fear: “What if I miss something?” “I know I’m supposed to do this… but WHAT IF I ruin my child?” “How can I raise all my children?” “What will my own parents say?” Moms grapple with these and many other fear-based questions, especially when we take a stand for how we are raising our children. But God says that as we trust in Him, HE directs our path, and He gives strength to the weary, wisdom when we ask for it, joy in times of stress and peace in times of fear.

Esther faced what seemed like an impossible circumstance, too. It is impossible to guess what might have happened to the Hebrew nation had there been no Esther. Except for her, Jerusalem might never have been rebuilt, and there might have been a different story to tell all future ages. This beautiful Jewish girl of long ago, though she herself may not have known it, played her part in paving the way for the coming of the Savior. And just as Esther has a part to play, so you have an important role in shaping the hearts and minds of a future generation. Come and be encouraged as Heidi reminds you about what is most important during the child rearing years: following the Lord wherever He leads – and modeling that faith for your children. Because where God guides – he also provides. Peace in times of fear.

Light a Thousand Fires

Right place. Right time. Right team. We’re raising a generation of Daniels as America becomes a modern Babylon. The Lord has set us apart for such a time as this and He has a purpose for each of us and each of our children. Heidi St John lays out the rules of engagement for winning the culture war that seeks to destroy your children’s future and offers encouragement for the days we are living in. Listen. Learn. Leave with purpose and confidence.

Prayers for the Battlefield

Are you weary? Today’s parents are up against a lot. We’re shepherding children in a time when the war for their hearts and minds has reached a fever-pitch. And yes—the battle is real—but so is our God! Come spend an hour with mother of seven, Heidi St. John as she offers hope and teaches parents how to pray for their kids at every stage development. We’ll get real about the struggle, but we won’t focus on it. You’re raising a special generation of warriors! Don’t give up—you were born for this!
