Ep. 379 - Ways Your Girl Can Steward the Environment Biblically
In this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Melissa Bearden continue their Genesis series with a conversation that feels especially relevant in today's world: what does it actually mean to "steward the earth" as a Christian family? Starting in Genesis 1:28, Rachael and Melissa unpack the idea of dominion—not as domination or destruction, but as thoughtful care, cultivation, and responsibility. Using the simple but powerful analogy of gardening, Rachael paints a picture of stewardship as tending, nurturing, and bringing order to what God has created. It's a perspective shift that invites both moms and daughters to see the environment not as a burden to fix, but as a gift to faithfully manage. As cultural conversations around climate and environmental responsibility grow louder, this episode offers a grounded, Biblical response. Melissa introduces the concept of climate activism and acknowledges the good intentions behind it, while also pointing listeners back to a greater truth: this earth is a temporary home, and our ultimate hope is anchored in God's promise of a new heaven and a new earth. That hope doesn't lead to neglect—it leads to peace-filled, purposeful action. Through the Raising Godly Girls Minute, Patti Garibay reminds us that God works through ordinary people to accomplish His extraordinary plan. And that includes how we care for His creation. When we teach our girls to observe the world around them—really see it—we begin cultivating hearts that appreciate, respect, and responsibly steward what God has made. This episode is filled with practical, doable ways to live this out as a family—from picking up trash at a local park to planting a garden to simply slowing down and noticing God's handiwork. Because when girls learn to love creation, they naturally begin to care for it.<span class= "EOP SCXW258513372 BCX0" data-ccp-props= "{"201341983":0,"335559739

Ep. 378 – Helping Your Girl Understand the Importance of 'In the Beginning, God'
In this thought-provoking episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Melissa Bearden kick off a powerful new series centered on the Book of Genesis and its relevance for today's families. With warmth, curiosity, and a shared love for Scripture, they begin at the very beginning—exploring the creation account and what it reveals about God's nature, His design, and His enduring truth. From imagining the wonder of each day of creation to unpacking why it matters that we teach our girls the truth of Genesis—not just as a story, but as a historical and theological foundation—this conversation invites moms to think deeply about how a Biblical Worldview shapes everyday life. In a culture filled with competing origin stories and growing uncertainty, this episode gently but confidently points families back to the unchanging truth: "In the beginning, God." You'll hear encouragement to guide your daughter in understanding not just where she comes from, but Who she belongs to. Through the Raising Godly Girls Minute featuring Patti Garibay, listeners are reminded that God is a "full-circle God"—the same God who created the world in Genesis is the One who is making all things new in Revelation. That truth anchors our faith and gives our girls a steady hope, even in a broken world. Whether you're navigating big worldview questions with your daughter or simply looking to deepen your family's trust in Scripture, this episode equips you with practical encouragement to parent with eternal perspective. You'll walk away inspired to help your girl see God's hand in creation, trust His plan, and live with confident hope for what's to come. <p class="Paragraph SCXW9106

Ep. 377 – When Faith Meets Fatigue: Hope for Strong Women Leaders with Ann E. Thompson
Leadership is a gift, but it can also be exhausting. Many Christian women today are carrying a heavy load: leading at work, serving in ministry, managing a home, discipling their children, nurturing a marriage, and striving to remain faithful in their own walk with the Lord. And while the calling is beautiful, the fatigue can be very real. In this encouraging episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, Melissa Bearden sits down with author and mentor Ann E. Thompson to talk about what happens when faith meets fatigue. Together, they explore how women can lead with resilience instead of resentment, serve with humility instead of hustle, and discern God's guidance without succumbing to cultural pressure or burnout. You'll hear practical wisdom for recognizing early signs of burnout, cultivating sustainable spiritual rhythms, and modeling servant-hearted leadership for the girls who are watching. Because our daughters are learning not only from what we say—but from how we live. As we steward our callings faithfully and rest in Christ deeply, we teach them that leadership is not about performance, but obedience. If you are a working mom, ministry leader, or woman feeling stretched thin between competing responsibilities, this episode will remind you that God never calls His daughters to run on empty. He calls us to abide, to trust, and to lead from a place of strength rooted in Him. <span class= "EOP SCXW39896970 BCX0" data-ccp-props= "{"201341983":

Ep. 376 – Modeling Servant Leadership in Your Family
Welcome back to Raising Godly Girls, the podcast where we equip and encourage you to raise daughters with courage, character, and Christ-centered confidence. In today's conversation, co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Natalie Ambrose pull back the curtain on one of the most influential leadership environments your daughter will ever experience—your home. While leadership is often discussed in boardrooms, classrooms, and public platforms, this episode brings it right to the kitchen table, the car ride, and the everyday rhythms of family life. Natalie begins by exploring the idea of "leadership style" and how modern parenting frameworks attempt to define it. But for Christ-followers, the model is clear—Jesus Himself. His leadership wasn't rooted in control, status, or power as the world defines it, but in humility, service, and sacrificial love. This counter-cultural approach challenges parents to rethink what it truly means to lead well. Rachael shares honestly about the tension many parents feel—wanting to serve their families while also empowering their children to grow, contribute, and develop character. Together, she and Natalie unpack how a Biblical Worldview reshapes leadership in the home, shifting it from performance-driven parenting to purpose-driven discipleship. Through wisdom from AHG Founder & Executive Director Emeritus Patti Garibay, along with practical insights inspired by trusted ministry voices, this episode offers a refreshing and deeply grounded vision for family leadership. From cultivating empathy and emotional intelligence to making wise, God-honoring decisions, you'll be encouraged to lead your daughter with both intention and grace. You'll walk away reminded that your leadership at home doesn't have to mirror the

Ep. 375 – Faith-Fueled Leadership in Your Girl
What does leadership look like for the next generation of Christian girls and women? In this empowering episode of Raising Godly Girls, Rachael Culpepper and Natalie Ambrose dive into a conversation every faith-filled family needs to have: how strong faith fuels confident, wise, Christ-centered leadership. From ministry leadership and motherhood to the everyday moments where girls learn to step up, this episode reminds listeners that leadership is not reserved for adulthood. God begins shaping leaders early—through growth, mistakes, humility, and courage. Whether your girl is naturally bold or quietly influential, this conversation will help you nurture the gifts God has already placed within her. Rachael shares a relatable story from childhood about learning through failure (including an unforgettable salt-for-sugar cake mix-up!) and reflects on why safe spaces to fail are essential for growing resilient leaders. Natalie offers encouragement for moms of older girls, reminding parents not to rush in and rescue every difficult moment. Sometimes the most loving leadership lesson is allowing natural consequences to do their work. In this week's Raising Godly Girls Minute, Patti Garibay speaks directly to girls who may feel too young, too inexperienced, or not yet "ready" to lead. Rooted in 1 Timothy 4:12, this episode reminds girls that God does not wait for a certain age to call someone into Kingdom influence. Together, Rachael and Natalie unpack three foundational truths every Christian girl leader needs to carry into the world: knowing Whose she is, knowing who she is, and learning to walk in both confidence and wisdom. This episode is a beautiful encouragement for moms raising daughters to lead with grace, humility, and bold faith. Whether your girl is leading in the classroom, in her friendships, in church, or one day in ministry or the workplace, this conversation will help anchor her identity in Christ first—because godly leadership always begins there.<span

Ep. 374 – Gratitude & Responsibility: The Heart of Memorial Day with Tim Barton of Wallbuilders
Memorial Day is more than a long weekend—it is a sacred invitation to remember. In this special episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, Natalie Ambrose welcomes Tim Barton of WallBuilders to explore the deeper meaning behind Memorial Day and how Christian families can approach patriotism with both gratitude and responsibility. In a culture where love of country can sometimes feel politically charged or divisive, this conversation offers a balanced, Biblically grounded perspective on Christian citizenship. Together, they reflect on lessons from America's history, the faith convictions that shaped our nation's founding principles, and why the freedoms we enjoy today were purchased with profound sacrifice. Tim shares practical ways families can honor fallen military heroes this Memorial Day weekend—helping daughters understand that freedom is not merely a right to enjoy, but a responsibility to steward with humility, courage, and compassion. As parents, we are shaping the next generation of women who will live as citizens of heaven while engaging faithfully in their earthly communities. This episode will equip you to raise girls who are grateful for liberty, mindful of sacrifice, and committed to living out their faith with conviction and grace. <div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW230273227 BCX0

Ep. 373 – Connecting Your Family to Your Community through Patriotism
What does it look like for neighbors to truly come together—linking arms, sharing life, and building something meaningful right where God has placed them? In this special Memorial Day–focused episode of Raising Godly Girls, Rachael Culpepper and Melissa Bearden shift the conversation away from the noise of cultural division and toward something far more powerful: Christ-centered community. Because while patriotism can stir strong opinions, this episode invites families to focus on what unites us rather than what divides us. You'll be reminded that as believers, our identity is anchored first in Christ. We are citizens of Heaven before anything else—and from that foundation, we are called to steward our roles in our neighborhoods, communities, and nation with joy, humility, and purpose. In this week's Raising Godly Girls Minute, Patti Garibay offers a timely word on unity in a divided world. As girls grow up hearing conflicting messages from media and culture, parents have the opportunity to guide them toward a Gospel-rooted perspective—one that prioritizes peace, love, and truth over anger and division. This episode also brings practical, meaningful ways to live this out during Memorial Day weekend. From simple acts like raising flags with intention to opening your home in hospitality, you'll discover how everyday moments can become sacred opportunities to connect, honor, and reflect God's heart in your community. Because even in a fractured world, unity is still possible—and it often starts right on your front porch. <span class= "EOP SCXW1787824

As Memorial Day approaches, many families begin to reflect on what it truly means to love and honor our country. In this meaningful episode of Raising Godly Girls, co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Melissa Bearden step into a timely and sometimes complex conversation: how do we raise daughters who hold both a deep love for God and a healthy, grounded appreciation for their country? From heartfelt memories of national unity in the days following 9/11 to personal traditions like placing flags on veterans' graves, this episode invites moms to consider how patriotism is formed—not just in grand gestures, but in quiet, intentional discipleship moments at home. You'll hear wisdom from AHG Founder & Executive Director Emeritus Patti Garibay in this week's Raising Godly Girls Minute, where she reminds us that patriotism and faith are not at odds—they can beautifully coexist when rooted in truth. By guiding our girls through both the triumphs and the trials of our nation's history, we help them develop a deeper, more honest understanding of what it means to be a Godly citizen. Rachael and Melissa also offer practical encouragement for navigating today's cultural noise—where opinions about patriotism can feel loud and divided. Instead of fear or confusion, this episode points families toward peace, gratitude, and Biblical clarity. You'll be reminded that while conflict has always been part of the human story, God's design is rooted in peace—and our daughters can be active participants in bringing that peace into their communities.
