Welcome to the Heidi St. John podcast. Today’s meet my friend Friday. This is episode number 791—today’s Friday, July 12th. And as always, I love to have people on the show who are movers and shakers for the Kingdom. Today is no exception. My friend Debbie Meador is here today and we’re going to be talking a little bit about how you can get off the bench and onto the battlefield of what’s happening for the hearts and minds of our kids in the public school system.  Stick around. I think you’re going to be encouraged. Alright, so thanks for tuning in today. Lots of stuff coming up on the calendar. Be sure to listen for more information starting next week about some awesome giveaways that we’re doing as we get ready to celebrate our 800th podcast on August 2nd. My friend Ken Ham is going to be joining me on the 2nd and that guy knows how to shake it up. I told Ken last time I was with him that he really lacks a vision—and you can imagine how that went over ;).  Anyway, lots of stuff coming up. I am really excited because this weekend I am in CHEA for the homeschool convention there in Pasadena. I’ll be there until Saturday, so coming out and say hello. It’s a great opportunity. Even if you’re not homeschooling, there’s a lot going on at https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/heidistjohn/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/heidistjohn/support
