Ep. 384 – Solid Christian Families Start with Solid Christian Dads
As Father's Day approaches, this heartfelt episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast celebrates the incredible gift of Christian dads and the powerful role fathers play in shaping the hearts, faith, and future of their daughters. Co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Melissa Bearden dive into what strong, Christ-centered fatherhood looks like in today's culture—a balance of strength and gentleness, wisdom and fun, protection and empowerment. In a world that often minimizes or mocks fathers through media and cultural messaging, this conversation boldly affirms that dads matter deeply in God's design for the family. Drawing from recent research showing the importance of healthy male friendships and mentorship, Rachael and Melissa unpack why Christian dads need strong community just as much as moms do. From intergenerational friendships to discipleship and accountability, fathers flourish when they are surrounded by Godly men who encourage them to lead their families with integrity and purpose. In the Raising Godly Girls Minute, Patti Garibay reflects on the lasting impact of "dad traditions"—the silly songs, piggyback rides, bubble-blowing contests, and simple moments that become treasured memories for daughters long into adulthood. Through those ordinary moments, girls catch a glimpse of the safe, loving heart of their Heavenly Father. This episode also offers practical encouragement for dads navigating the pressures of modern life. With phones buzzing, work demands increasing, and distractions everywhere, fathers are challenged to intentionally prioritize presence with their girls—to put down the technology and fully engage in the moments that matter most. Listeners will also hear encouragement to build a healthy network of Christian friendships and to embrace both mentoring and being mentored. Because God never intended fatherhood to be walked alone. Through authentic Biblical community, dads can grow stronger, healthier, and more equipped to shepherd their families well. Whether you're a father, a mom encouraging the dads in your life, or someone grateful for the impact of a Godly father figure, this conversation is a timely<span clas

Ep. 383 – Financially Faithful Girls: Stewardship, Spending, and Godly Wisdom with Matt Bell
Money is one of the most practical—and spiritual—areas of our lives, yet it's often one of the least intentionally taught within the home. In this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, Patti Garibay welcomes financial author and stewardship expert Matt Bell for an important conversation about raising girls who honor God with their finances. From everyday spending decisions to long-term financial planning, this episode explores how parents can disciple their daughters to think Biblically about money from an early age. Together, Patti and Matt tackle some of the most common questions families face today: Is all debt bad, or is there a place for wise borrowing? How can parents help their daughters avoid the burden of overwhelming student loans? And what's the best way to teach financial responsibility—through cash, debit cards, or even credit? This conversation also highlights the deeper heart behind financial stewardship. In a culture driven by consumption and comparison, girls need to learn contentment, discernment, and generosity. Matt shares how giving isn't just a financial practice—it's a spiritual discipline that helps shape a heart aligned with God's purposes. <p class="Paragraph SCX

Ep. 382 - From Lemonade Stand to Lead: Giving Your Girls Ways to Practice Godly Money Habits
In this inspiring episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Natalie Ambrose explore how to nurture an entrepreneurial spirit in your daughter—one that's not driven by profit alone, but by purpose, generosity, and a heart for God's Kingdom. From childhood lemonade stands to bold, big-picture leadership, this conversation invites moms to see everyday opportunities as training grounds for future influence. With relatable stories of early entrepreneurial attempts (some more successful than others!), Rachael and Natalie highlight the value of giving girls space to try, fail, learn, and grow—building confidence and resilience along the way. But this episode doesn't stop at practical skill-building. It reframes the entire conversation around a Biblical Worldview: as Christ-followers, we're not building our own kingdoms—we're participating in God's. That shift in perspective changes everything, especially when it comes to how our girls think about work, money, and success. In the Raising Godly Girls Minute, Patti Garibay challenges families to think intentionally about generosity, encouraging parents to create a giving plan that reflects their priorities and invites their daughters into Kingdom-focused stewardship. It's a powerful reminder that financial habits aren't just practical—they're deeply spiritual. You'll<span class= "NormalTextRun SCXW138732405 BCX0" dat

Ep. 381 - Why You're the Most Accurate Predictor of Your Girl's Adult Money Habits Someday
In this practical and heart-checking episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Natalie Ambrose kick off a brand-new series on Biblical financial stewardship—helping moms raise girls who handle money with wisdom, contentment, and Christ-centered purpose. From lighthearted conversation about being a "spender" or a "saver" to deeper reflections on what money reveals about our hearts, this episode gently guides listeners into a Biblical understanding of stewardship. Rachael and Natalie break down this foundational concept into three simple practices—giving, saving, and spending—while reminding us that how we manage money ultimately reflects what we trust, value, and believe about God as our Provider. In a culture marked by consumerism, comparison, and financial anxiety, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective: money is not inherently good or evil—but it can quickly become a place where our hearts drift. Through Scripture and personal stories, the hosts encourage families to reject both fear-based scarcity and indulgent excess, instead embracing a posture of faith-filled responsibility. The Raising Godly Girls Minute featuring Patti Garibay reinforces a powerful truth—our daughters are watching. The habits we model today will shape how they approach money tomorrow. From family budget conversations to everyday spending decisions, our example matters more than we think. You'll also hear honest reflections on the financial pressures facing the next generation—from rising costs to economic uncertainty—and how we can equip our girls with something far more valuable than wealth: resourcefulness, gratitude, and trust in God. Because ultimately, the goal isn't to raise girls who are rich—but girls who are faithful stewards of whatever God provides. With practical tools like distinguishing between needs and wants and inviting your daughter into the "why" behind your saving habits, this episode equips you to bring faith into e

Ep. 380 – Why Genesis Matters: Helping Girls Build a Foundation of Faith
What does the Book of Genesis have to do with modern motherhood, science classes, dinosaur questions, and raising confident Christian girls in today's culture? In this rich and encouraging weekend conversation on the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, host Natalie Ambrose sits down with scientist, author, and ministry leader Dr. Georgia Purdom to unpack why the very first book of the Bible still matters deeply for families today. Between busy schedules, endless cultural noise, and the pressure to "keep up" with modern parenting trends, many Christian parents can feel overwhelmed trying to raise girls with a strong Biblical Worldview. But Dr. Purdom reminds listeners that the foundation for understanding identity, purpose, science, womanhood, and even eternity begins in Genesis. As Vice President of Educational Content and Director of Research for Answers in Genesis, Dr. Purdom brings both scientific expertise and heartfelt encouragement to this conversation. Together, Natalie and Dr. Purdom explore how the Genesis account shapes a child's understanding of God as Creator, why the Bible's foundation is essential for interpreting the world around us, and how parents can confidently navigate tough topics like dinosaurs, biology, and cultural confusion surrounding womanhood. This episode also dives into the wonder of God's design through the lens of cellular and molecular biology, helping parents see science not as a threat to faith, but as a beautiful confirmation of God's intentional craftsmanship. Dr. Purdom offers practical ways families can nurture curiosity, engage science from a Biblical Worldview, and help girls understand both their equality and uniqueness as image-bearers of God. If you've ever felt unsure how to answer your daughter's big questions—or wondered whether ancient Scripture still speaks into modern family life—this conversation will refresh your confidence in God's timeless truth and remind you that what God declared "good" in the beginning remains good today. <span class= "EOP SCXW80072750 BCX0" data-ccp-props= "{"201341983":0,"335559739":0,"33555

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":
