Raising Godly Girls

• Ep. 209 — The Bible as Your Girl’s Spiritual Muscle

  In today’s episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Natalie Ambrose tackle one of the most powerful tools we can equip our daughters with—the Word of God. When the world feels confusing and chaotic, Scripture offers the clarity, confidence, and courage our girls need to stand firm in their faith. But what does it look like to actually help your daughter hide God’s Word in her heart?  Rachael and Natalie share honest reflections on their own spiritual growth and how they’ve come to realize that knowing God’s Word isn’t enough—it must become a part of daily life. From childhood memories of Bible Bowls and memory verses to navigating real-life conversations with their own kids, they explore the spiritual muscle that develops when Scripture moves beyond head knowledge into heart conviction.  You’ll hear from American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director Patti Garibay as she offers simple and effective Scripture memory tips—like tying verses to daily activities, creating routines, and using bedtime as a sacred moment to settle hearts with truth. Plus, Rachael and Natalie break down how to help your girl respond to culture by filtering messages through God’s Word, reminding us that Scripture isn’t outdated—it’s alive, active, and the sword of the Spirit in our daughters’ hands.  Rooted in the Biblical Worldview that American Heritage Girls holds, this episode encourages parents to make Scripture a core part of family life. Whether through AHG’s Faith Awards Program, the AHG Creed R.E.A.L. Life Bible Study, or everyday conversations around the dinner table, the goal is to build a strong foundation—so when life gets loud, your daughter knows where to turn for truth.  Join us as we discuss how to help your girl develop her spiritual strength and see God’s Word not just as information, but as transformation.  Find an American Heritage Girls Troop near you, visit americanheritagegirls.org       Add even more Biblical wisdom to your parenting quiver, visit raisinggodlygirls.com

• Ep. 208 — Leadership in Her Own Way: Encouraging Girls to Lead with Faith and Strength with Tami Heim (Christian Leadership Alliance)

  What does it mean to be a leader? The world often defines leadership in terms of power, influence, or personal success. But true leadership, the kind that reflects Christ, is rooted in servanthood, humility, and a willingness to follow God’s calling with courage and conviction.  In this episode, Patti Garibay is joined by Tami Heim, President and CEO of the Christian Leadership Alliance, to explore how parents and mentors can equip young women to step into leadership with confidence and faith. Research shows that many girls desire to lead, yet fear holds them back—fear of being labeled, fear of rejection, fear of standing out. Tami shares her passion for developing leaders who combine mission-critical competency with Christ-like character and explains how we can nurture those same qualities in our daughters.  This conversation challenges the common misconceptions about leadership and offers practical wisdom for guiding girls to embrace their unique, God-given leadership styles. From the small responsibilities of childhood to the greater callings of adulthood, leadership is not about seeking status, but about using our gifts to serve others.  Whether your daughter is a natural leader or hesitant to step forward, this episode will encourage and equip you to help her lead in a way that honors God.   Learn more about Tami Heim and her work with the Christian Leadership Alliance at christianleadershipalliance.org.  Find an American Heritage Girls Troop near you, visit americanheritagegirls.org      Add even more Biblical wisdom to your parenting quiver, visit raisinggodlygirls.com

• Ep. 207 — Not Bossy, Just Bold: Encouraging Girls in Authentic and Christ-Honoring Leadership

  The world often tells girls they have to choose between being confident or being kind, between being bold or being humble.

Drawing on Biblical wisdom and personal experiences, they explore how girls can harness their God-given confidence to lead with humility, wisdom, and a heart for service.  You’ll also hear from American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director Patti Garibay on how to encourage strong-willed girls without suppressing their gifts. Plus, Rachael and Melissa share practical ways to shape leadership in everyday moments—whether it’s helping your daughter navigate friendships, handle disagreements with grace, or step up when others need guidance.  Raising a confident, Christ-centered leader starts with intentional conversations. Join us as we discuss how to cultivate boldness without arrogance and leadership without pride.  Want to help your daughter grow into a leader who serves God and others?

• Ep. 206 — Leading with Purpose: Helping Your Daughter Step Boldly into God’s Calling

  Confidence in girls is on the decline, and with it, their willingness to step into leadership. In a world that often equates leadership with ambition, self-promotion, and social clout, how can we help our daughters embrace leadership that is humble, Christ-centered, and purpose-driven?  In this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael and Melissa explore how God uniquely equips each girl to lead in her own way—whether she’s a bold, visionary leader or a quiet, compassionate one. Drawing from Biblical examples like Moses, Gideon, and Abigail, they unpack what it means to lead with faith and integrity, rather than striving for popularity or power.  You’ll also hear insights from American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director Patti Garibay on how servant leadership transforms both the leader and those she influences. Plus, Rachael and Melissa share practical ways to nurture leadership in everyday moments—whether it’s during the drive home from school, in a Troop setting, or after a tough situation where your daughter feels called to take a stand.  Looking for a Christ-centered way to develop your daughter’s leadership skills? American Heritage Girls provides girls with hands-on experiences to grow as leaders through badge work, service projects, and opportunities that stretch and strengthen their confidence.  Find an American Heritage Girls Troop near you, visit americanheritagegirls.org      Add even more Biblical wisdom to your parenting quiver, visit raisinggodlygirls.com
