Twenty-Five Years After 9/11: What America Can’t Afford to Forget with Patrick O’Brien
Twenty-five years after 9/11, America remembers the images—but are we still willing to talk honestly about what happened and the ideology behind it? Heidi sits down with Patrick O’Brien of The Bible in Context to discuss Islam, Sharia law, the growing influence of Islamic ideology in America, rising antisemitism, Israel, and the dangerous biblical illiteracy leaving Christians vulnerable to deception. As a new generation grows up with no memory of September 11th, this is a conversation about remembering the truth, understanding the moment we’re in, and having the courage to stand on the Word of God.

The Road to November: Charlie Kirk Knew Silence Wasn’t an Option
One year after Charlie Kirk’s assassination, his voice still challenges us. Charlie understood something too many Christians have forgotten: if we abandon the public square, someone else will fill it. He showed up. He spoke truth when it was costly. He fought for the next generation, for freedom, and increasingly, he pointed people back to Jesus. Today, I’m remembering Charlie’s courage, Erika Kirk’s extraordinary example of forgiveness, and the responsibility we have right now as believers and as Americans. The midterms are coming, and this is not the time to retreat, disengage, or assume someone else will do the work. The answer to a bold lie is bold truth. And our faith must speak.

Have We Completely Lost Our Minds?
From AI-generated sexual images of children and assisted suicide to courts restricting a child’s access to church and Disney packaging witchcraft for teens, the headlines are getting harder to believe. Heidi breaks down what these stories have in common and why Christians cannot afford to surrender moral clarity. Evil doesn’t become good because the culture approves it, the courts protect it, or Hollywood makes it attractive. This is the time for a faith that speaks, stands firm, and refuses to call evil good. Sponsor: Thanks to Angel Studios for sponsoring today’s episode.

Tuesday in Ten: How Christians Grieve With Hope
Grief is not evidence of weak faith. It’s evidence that we have loved. As we enter a week marked by the anniversary of Charlie Kirk’s assassination and the remembrance of 9/11, I want to talk about what Scripture actually says about sorrow. Jesus wept. God draws near to the brokenhearted. And Christians are never asked to pretend that loss doesn’t hurt. Today, we’re talking about making room for grief without losing our hope, remembering that because of Jesus, death does not get the final word.

Discipline That Reaches the Heart with Ginger Hubbard
Parenting today seems to swing between two extremes: harsh, behavior-focused discipline and a “gentle parenting” culture that puts a child’s feelings in the driver’s seat. But there’s a better way. Ginger Hubbard joins me for a practical conversation about biblical discipline, reaching the heart of your child, teaching obedience without parenting in anger, navigating disrespect and the teenage years, and what to do when you realize you’ve gotten it wrong. Our goal isn’t simply well-behaved kids. It’s raising children who know God, love Him, and learn to walk in wisdom.

Fan Mail Friday: How Young Is Too Young to Date?
How young is too young to start dating, and how do parents know when to step in? Today I’m answering that question along with your questions about making faith part of everyday family life, re-baptism, grandparents who undermine your parenting, cremation, women and voting, and how homeschool families can prepare wisely without living in fear. Plus, I’m talking about the Lindsay Clancy case, conspiracy-driven groupthink, and why Christians have to let God’s Word—not emotion or culture—define truth and justice.

The Road to November: When They Don’t Like Who You Elected
What happens when voters elect someone the left doesn’t like? Heidi talks with Jeff Joseph about the fight in Pierce County, Washington, and an effort that could end Sheriff Keith Swank’s elected term early. This is bigger than one sheriff—it’s about whether the will of the voters still matters and why we cannot afford to sit on the sidelines this November.

When Ideology Replaces Education
Our kids are falling behind academically while schools become increasingly focused on gender, identity, and ideology. Something is backwards. Today I’m talking about what education is actually supposed to do, why lowered standards are hurting our children, and why parents need to pay attention to who is shaping their hearts and minds. Our kids need truth, wisdom, and an education that prepares them for life. BJU Press Homeschool – Biblically grounded curriculum and flexible homeschool options for your family.

Tuesday in Ten: The Feminist Lie About Strong Women
The culture says women have to reject femininity to be strong. Scripture says otherwise. Today I’m looking at Deborah and Jael, the Lindsay Clancy case, and why biblical womanhood holds compassion, courage, truth, and responsibility together. It’s time to reclaim what it means to be faithful, fierce, and feminine.

Your Trauma Is an Injury, Not Your Identity with Keisha Wright
What happens when the life you thought you had falls apart overnight? Keisha Wright joins me to share her incredible story of betrayal, trauma, forgiveness, and healing—and how God used what was meant to destroy her to bring her closer to Him. We’re talking about bitterness, lost hope, breaking generational patterns, and why your pain may be part of your story, but it does not have to become your identity. There is hope after trauma, and you do not have to stay stuck in what happened to you.

Fan Mail Friday: Can Compassion Go Too Far?
How do we stay compassionate without abandoning discernment? On today’s Fan Mail Friday, I’m answering your questions about enjoying the little years without fearing what comes next, a pastor husband’s changing relationship with alcohol, helping others without enabling them, calling out false teachers, teenagers who seem embarrassed by their faith, and whether Christians have lost the gift of Sabbath rest. We’re covering a lot of ground today, but it all comes back to the same thing: we need biblical wisdom for the everyday decisions we’re facing.

The Road to November: Why Is Proving Citizenship Controversial?
Why is it controversial to say that only citizens should vote in American elections? On today’s Road to November, I’m talking about the Supreme Court’s latest move on citizenship verification, the fight over voter rolls and mail-in ballots, and why Congress needs to act. Election integrity shouldn’t be partisan. We should all want elections that are secure, transparent, and worthy of our trust. November is coming. Get off the bench.

Raising Kids With a Backbone in a Culture of Wishbones with Dr Matthew Weathers
The world isn’t getting easier—and raising kids who can stand firm in it won’t happen by accident. Today I’m joined by Dr. Matthew Weathers of Bob Jones University to talk about raising young people with character, conviction, competence, and courage. We’re talking about why kids need to do hard things, why parents have to model what we want our children to become, and how to prepare them to stand for Christ when the culture pushes back. Remember, we can’t pass on what we don’t possess.

Tuesday in Ten: America Has a Heart Problem
The deaths of Cora, Dawson, and Callan Clancy should stop us in our tracks. But as their mother’s trial unfolds, our culture seems increasingly determined to make the killer the victim and the children a footnote. Today, I’m looking at what this case, abortion, and even the celebration of political violence reveal about something much deeper: America has a heart problem. Laws matter, but only Jesus can change the human heart. It’s time to guard our hearts, tell the truth, and choose life.

Love Them Enough to Let Go with Dr Kathy Koch
Letting go of our adult children can be one of the hardest transitions in parenting. My friend Dr. Kathy Koch joins me to talk about how we move from parenting to encouraging, what to do when adult children pull away, navigating marriage and grandchildren, and how to respond when a child walks away from the faith. Our role may change, but our prayers and influence still matter. Chapter — Get unbiased help finding the Medicare plan that fits your needs.

Fan Mail Friday: Does Submission Mean Ignoring Your Discernment?
What do you do when you and your husband disagree about where to go to church? On today’s Fan Mail Friday, I’m talking about biblical submission, discernment, and the difference between preference and principle. Plus, we’re tackling whether Christians should stay and fight in states moving away from biblical values, “Christian manifestation,” having babies in your 40s, family phone habits, and honoring your parents when reconciliation feels impossible.

America Has a Family Problem
America’s birth rate is falling, socialism is being soft-sold to the next generation, and women are being told they can put marriage and motherhood on hold indefinitely. These aren’t unrelated trends. Today I’m talking about what happens when we reject God’s design for marriage, family, and personal responsibility—and then look to government and technology to fix what we’ve broken. The answer isn’t a bigger state. It’s stronger families, stronger marriages, and a return to God’s design.
