Hope for the Prodigal Years | Karla Slonaker & Jaclyn St. John →
I am so thankful for my daughters prodigal years. They changed me from being arrogant, self-righteous and judgmental into a reflection of our Heavenly Father. What a precious reminder that not only can God bring transformation in our childrens lives as we pray for them, but He also molds and shapes us into who He created us to be! Today we hear from a mother and daughter as they share their journey through the prodigal years and how the power and hope of prayer sustained them.

ABOUT OUR GUESTS
Karla Slonaker
Moms in Prayer was introduced to me 33 years ago at an informational meeting for moms of elementary school children. As I learned about MIP, I knew God was drawing me to prayer. I have benefited in so many ways, including learning the character of God and how to pray; having sincere, available prayer support, and experiencing hope and blessing while raising a prodigal teenager. Proverbs 3:5-6 is so truetrust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths. Now this daughter, Jaclyn, prays in a MIP group for her children and serves the ministry in her area and on our state team.
My husband Fred and I have been married for 41 years. We have three adult children with spouses and nine grandchildren. We raised our family in Wenatchee, Washington and now live near them all in Meridian, Idaho. I heard Gods Spirit call me in March 2023 to serve the women of Idaho as State Coordinator for MIP. It is a huge blessing to support, train, develop leadership across this state as we pray and fast for the salvation of students. In addition to prayer ministry, I mentor young women of all ages and enjoy a variety of crafting projects.
Jaclyn St. John
I live in Meridian, Idaho with my husband, Cody and our children, Chloe (10) and Jaxon (7), plus two dogs and a cat! By profession, I am a Registered Dietitian with Dairy West but my most meaningful roles are as a devoted daughter, wife, sister, granddaughter, aunt, and friend who deeply values the people God has placed in my life.
I have a passion for health and wellness that carries into both my professional work and everyday life. I enjoy nourishing others through nutritious food, healthy living, and spending quality time with family. Through laughter, movement and shared meals, I believe in celebrating lifes blessings and caring well for the people around me. It has been my privilege the last three years to serve Moms in Prayer Idaho alongside my mom, Karla Slonaker. Sharing our story of spiritual death to spiritual life has been a joy. She is my best friend!

Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

ABOUT OUR GUEST
In 1994, I was a young mother of three boys and pregnant with my fourth, when my mom bought me the Moms in Prayer Booklet. I was in a stage of life where I would have protected my children from everything if I could, but I quickly discovered that was impossible. As I started praying in a Moms in Prayer group, my relationship with the Lord began to take shape. I went from knowing about Him, to really trusting Him, His name, and His character. Praying together with other moms not only taught me how to pray, but how to let go of all I wanted to control and to trust GodHis word, His work, His provision, and His plans.
My husband Tom and I have been married for 41 years and we live in Deshler, Ohio. We have been blessed with four sons, two beautiful daughter-in-loves and five adorable grandchildren. I have been a part of Moms in Prayer for over 30 years. I served as the State Coordinator for Ohio from 2015-2022. I currently serve as the Great Lakes Division Coordinator, which include Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin.
SCRIPTURES
The heart of man plans his way,
but the Lord establishes his steps. Proverbs 16:9 ESV
Death is swallowed up in victory.
O death, where is your victory?
O death, where is your sting? 1 Corinthians 15:55 ESV
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies; Psalm 23:5a ESV
Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12 ESV
If you wait for perfect conditions, you will never get anything done. Gods ways are as mysterious as the pathway of the wind and as the manner in which a human spirit is infused into the little body of a baby while it is yet in its mothers womb. Keep on sowing your seed, for you never know which will growperhaps it all will. Ecclesiastes 11:4-6 TLB
I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
That I would see the goodness of the Lord
In the land of the living. Psalm 27:13 NKJV
Tackle every task that comes along, and if you fear God, you can expect his blessing. Ecclesiastes 7:18 TLB

1 Corinthians 15 | Victorious in Motherhood | Sally Burke →
Every day we get an opportunity to say to God, Here I am. I am Your vessel. How can I live for you? We have a choice. Are we going to live for the world? Or are we going to live for God? Life with God is full of joy, peace and love! Moms in Prayer President, Sally Burke, joins us again to talk through 1 Corinthians 15, the chapter where our theme Victorious comes from. We CAN be victorious in life and in motherhood because of the truth of the gospel and because God is with us!

1 Corinthians 14 | Victorious in Motherhood | Heidi Fromke →
Whatever our gifts are, we need to use them to build up others and point them to Christ so they can know Him and He can receive the glory. Heidi Fromke, our Appalachian Division Coordinator, joins us on the podcast today to talk through 1 Corinthians 14. She reminds us of the importance of using our God given gifts for encouraging and building up the church. In our flesh, it is easy to fall into the trap of wanting to make ourselves look good and impress others with what we can do, but God can use us in far greater ways when we live our lives for His glory.

ABOUT OUR GUEST
Learning to hold her kids loosely and trust God with them is a daily challenge which Heidi found to be especially true when her boys were just beginning school. It was during this time of trying to let go a bit that she found Moms in Prayer after hearing Moms in Prayer Founder, Fern Nichols, on the radio.
The Lord encouraged her to start a Moms in Prayer group at her sons school in 2003. She prayed with this group of moms for 17 years. They joined her in covering her boys, their kids and their school community. They lifted their requests to God and saw Him do immeasurably more than they could ask or imagine as He walked with them through a sons illness, Young Life established at the school, and students hearts turned to Christ. Heidi has come to know the Lord in an amazingly intimate way as He has shown her His love for her boys and that He truly can be trusted above all else.
She has been married to Mark, who has filled her days with laughter since 1990. They have three boys in their twenties, two amazing daughters-in-law and two grandsons! After growing up in Minnesota and spending a few years in St. Louis, they have fallen in love with North Carolina. Heidi is looking forward to watching God work as He draws other moms to experience His power, grace and loving acceptance through prayer!
