Jay and Heidi St. John
Jay and Heidi St. John have been in full time ministry for over thirty years. Married for nearly 35 years, they are the parents of seven children and grandparents of four—all of whom have been homeschooled. Their passion to help families flourish is the driving force behind Firmly Planted's mission.
Jay St. John was a worship pastor for nearly twenty years, serving in evangelical churches in the beautiful pacific northwest. He is the CEO of Firmly Planted Family, the ministry he co-founded with Heidi in 2000. Today, he is the Director of the Firmly Planted Homeschool Resource Center and still leads worship at conferences and events around the United States.
Heidi is a best-selling author and has written nine books, most notably the Becoming MomStrong series for Tyndale. She is the host of "Off the Bench," a podcast with over 20 million downloads and a sought after speaker who addresses issues of faith, education, family and culture at events throughout the nation. Heidi has appeared on dozens of Christian and secular media outlets to highlight the importance of K-12 education and encourage parents in their roles as mentors and examples for their children
