    Ep. 133 — Empowering Your Girl to Make High Stakes Decisions

    In today’s episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael and Natalie tackle an essential aspect of raising mentally strong Christian girls: decision-making. How do we empower our daughters to make choices that build both confidence and character? The world presents our girls with countless decisions every day, some with more significant stakes than others. Whether it’s choosing between two good things or navigating decisions with long-term consequences, teaching girls how to discern wisely is crucial for their development.  Drawing from their own experiences, Rachael and Natalie share practical strategies to help your girl become a confident decision-maker—whether it’s through prayer, evaluating choices with a pros-and-cons list, or understanding the consequences of her actions. They dive into a real-life story from American Heritage Girls, where Rachael’s daughter learned the value of responsibility and the weight of procrastination. It's an inspiring reminder that sometimes letting our girls experience the consequences of their decisions is the most empowering way to prepare them for the future.  Rachael and Natalie also emphasize the importance of rooting decision-making in prayer. By aligning our desires with God’s will, as modeled by Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, our girls can make choices anchored in faith rather than fear. They explore key Scriptures like Psalm 37:4 and Matthew 6, which teach the power of submitting our will to God’s perfect plan.  Whether your daughter is facing decisions about friendships, school, or faith, this episode offers valuable insight into how we, as parents, can equip her with the tools to thrive in every stage of life. Tune in for practical advice, Biblical encouragement, and empowering stories to guide your girl in becoming a wise decision-maker who honors God.    Find an American Heritage Girls Troop near you, visit americanheritagegirls.org  Add even more Biblical wisdom to your parenting quiver, visit raisinggodlygirls.com

    Ep. 132 — Addressing Witchcraft & The Occult from a Biblical Perspective this Halloween with Amy Davison (Mama Bear Apologetics)

    With Halloween around the corner, the rise in fascination with witchcraft and the occult becomes all the more noticeable, especially among young girls. In this week’s special episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, host Patti Garibay is joined by Amy Davison of Mama Bear Apologetics to explore how parents can guide their daughters away from the spiritual dangers of witchcraft and toward the freedom found in Christ.  In today’s culture, witchcraft is often portrayed as innocent fun—whether it’s casting spells, playing with Ouija boards, or following the latest New Age trends. However, Amy shares from her personal experience as a former "almost witch" in her teenage years, revealing the allure and dangers of these practices. Together, Patti and Amy discuss why witchcraft seems appealing to many young girls and how parents can discern between harmless Halloween festivities and spiritually harmful influences.  Throughout the conversation, Amy unpacks the cultural normalization of witchcraft, its connection to the feminist movement, and how practices like crystals and astrology are being presented as empowering and harmless. She offers practical, Biblical wisdom on how to counter these messages, help girls understand the truth of God's Word, and protect them from the subtle but dangerous influences of the occult. Tune in to learn how to equip your daughters with the tools to navigate this Halloween season and beyond, ensuring their hearts remain rooted in the truth of Scripture.   Learn more about Amy’s work with Mama Bear Apologetics, visit mamabearapologetics.com  Find an American Heritage Girls Troop near you, visit americanheritagegirls.org  Add even more Biblical wisdom to your parenting quiver, visit raisinggodlygirls.com

Together, they explore the ways parents can guide their daughters to recognize these deceptions, using Biblical truth to reject them. From the allure of horoscopes and crystal healing to the prevalence of manifesting and spiritual mediums, they offer practical advice on how to steer your daughter toward the only source of true wisdom and peace: a relationship with Jesus.   If you’ve ever wondered how to have meaningful conversations with your daughter about the dangers of modern occult trends, this episode is packed with practical tools and spiritual insights to help you guide her to seek God’s truth.

    Ep. 128 — Biblical Hospitality: Bridging Today’s Cultural Divide

    In this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael and Natalie explore the power of words and how shifting language norms have played a role in deepening societal divides. They reflect on the subtle ways polarization can infiltrate our lives and how, as parents, we can equip our girls to resist these pressures through a Biblical Worldview. By teaching our daughters to recognize division as a tactic of the enemy, we can help them lean into the unifying power of the Holy Spirit.  Drawing inspiration from Romans 12:9-18, the hosts explore the idea that true Christian unity is rooted in love, humility, and hospitality. They share practical tips for fostering conversations with your daughters that invite understanding rather than division, emphasizing the value of asking questions like, “What do you think God feels about this issue?”  Rachael and Natalie also highlight the importance of demonstrating “radical hospitality,” offering a seat at the table to those with differing views while remaining grounded in Biblical Truth. The hosts discuss real-life examples, including the story of King David and Mephibosheth, as a reminder that God calls us to extend compassion and grace, even to those who might challenge us.  Finally, the episode connects these concepts to the American Heritage Girls (AHG) Program, where girls learn servant leadership through badges like the Identity Badge, All God’s Children Badge, and the Social Skills & Etiquette Badge. This year’s theme of VISION challenges girls to put on “Godly goggles” and view others the way God does, equipping them to bring unity and peace into their communities.  Tune in for an encouraging discussion on how Christian families can bridge today’s cultural divide through Biblical hospitality, unity, and love.
