Episode Description from the Publisher

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
