  Ep. 429 – Chosen Before Birth: A Story of Life, Infertility, and Redemption with Marlene Strege (Part 1 of 3)

  Sep 29, 202649 minS3

  What does it truly mean to be pro-life in today's world? In this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast , Patti Garibay sits down with psychologist Dr. Marlene Strege for a deeply personal and thought-provoking conversation about infertility, adoption, and the often-overlooked ethical questions surrounding in vitro fertilization (IVF). As reproductive technologies continue to advance, Christian families are increasingly being called to consider how a B iblical view of life applies not only in the womb—but even at the earliest stages of human existence. Dr. Strege shares her own journey through infertility and how God led her family to pursue embryo adoption, often referred to as "snowflake adoption." Her story is a powerful reminder that every life is created with purpose and value, and that God can work redemptively through even the most complex circumstances. Together, Patti and Marlene explore the current landscape of IVF in the West, including the reality that over a million embryos are currently frozen in the United States. They discuss how believers can approach these issues with both truth and compassion, while remaining grounded in a "womb to tomb " commitment to the sanctity of life. This episode also offers guidance for parents seeking to have age-appropriate conversations with their daughters about life, dignity, and God's design. In a culture where these topics can feel overwhelming or confusing, this conversation equips families to respond with clarity, conviction, and grace. Because raising Godly girls means helping them understand that every life—seen and unseen—is precious in the eyes of God. Scriptures Referenced in This Episode: Psalm 139:13–16 Jeremiah 1:5 Genesis 1:27 Deuteronomy 30:19 Proverbs 31:8 Luke 12:6–7 To get Marlene's husband, John Strege's book A Snowflake Named Hannah: Ethics, Faith, and the First Adoption of a Frozen Embryo just search on Am azon .

  Raising Godly Girls

  BONUS EP. – Making Peace with What You Can't Control with Lysa Terkeurst

  Sep 25, 202629 minS3

  What happens when the things we most desperately want to change are the very things we cannot control? For mothers, the desire to protect our daughters, fix what hurts, and help their stories turn out well can easily become an exhausting pursuit of control. But what if true peace doesn't come from finally getting everything under control—it comes from knowing Who is? On this special bonus episode of Raising Godly Girls , host Rachael Culpepper welcomes bestselling author, Bible teacher, and Proverbs 31 Ministries founder Lysa TerKeurst for a powerful conversation inspired by her new book, Making Peace with What I Can't Control . Lysa draws from her own difficult circumstances and decades of helping women navigate life's hardest moments to unpack why we reach for control, the deeper longings that fuel it, and what it looks like to surrender what we cannot control to a trustworthy God. For moms, this struggle can become especially personal when it involves a daughter. As girls grow, they make their own choices, face their own challenges, and experience circumstances their mothers cannot always prevent or fix. Rachael and Lysa explore how moms can discern what God has actually entrusted to them—and what they need to release back to Him. They also tackle an important distinction: surrendering control doesn't mean caring less, becoming passive, or stepping away from the God-given role of motherhood. It means learning to trust God more deeply while continuing to love, pray, guide, and faithfully show up. If you're carrying a circumstance, relationship, fear, or outcome you desperately wish you could change, this conversation offers a gentle invitation to ask: Is this actually mine to carry? Because there will be things we cannot change, choices we cannot make for our daughters, and outcomes we must ultimately place in God's hands. The good news is that we don't have to carry what God never asked us to carry. Tune in to discover how surrender can lead not to resignation, but to freedom, deeper faith, and the peace that comes from trusting the One who loves our daughters even more than we do.

  Ep. 427 – Consistent Parenting, Taking the Edges Off a Strong-Willed Girl's Personality & Good Leadership

  Sep 24, 202626 minS3

  What do you do when your strong-willed daughter pushes back, challenges your opinion, or seems determined to turn every disagreement into a battle? On this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, Rachael Culpepper and Melissa Bearden put consistency under the spotlight and explore how parents can lead strong-willed girls without breaking their spirit—while helping them develop the wisdom, resilience, and leadership skills God can use for His Kingdom. Parenting a strong-willed girl can sometimes feel like navigating a minefield of opinions, emotions, and potential power struggles. But Biblical parenting isn't about finding a formula that guarantees the right outcome. It's about faithfully seeking the Lord, staying connected to His Word, and depending on the Holy Spirit for wisdom in the moment. Rachael and Melissa unpack the tension between overly rigid approaches and overly permissive parenting, reminding parents that consistent, steady leadership can provide the security a strong-willed girl needs to flourish. In a Raising Godly Girls Minute, AHG Founder & Executive Director Emeritus Patti Garibay encourages parents to embrace respectful disagreement and remember that their daughters will inevitably develop opinions of their own. Rather than treating every difference of opinion as a battle to win, parents can model the respect, grace, and humility that build lasting relationships. Rachael and Melissa then explore practical ways to parent through conflict, including maintaining a steady response, asking whether an issue is truly a "hill worth dying on," and making genuine prayer together a place where both parent and daughter can seek the Lord's wisdom. The conversation also highlights an important truth for parents of strong-willed girls: consistency builds trust. When parents respond with gentleness and steadiness rather than allowing a daughter's outbursts to dictate the emotional temperature of the home, they demonstrate what secure leadership looks like. Over time, those repeated moments of respect and consistency can help a girl learn to navigate disagreement with wisdom rather than simply reacting from emotion. Listeners will also hear how American Heritage Girls provides girls ages 5 to 18 with opportunities to develop Christlike character, serve others, and grow into confident leaders. Through AHG Troops, the Raising Godly Girls parent resource, and resources such as the Social-Emotional Health Emphasis and Embracing Emotions Chat Sessions, families can find encouragement and practical support as they navigate the many challenges of girlhood. For every parent wondering how to respond when their strong-willed daughter digs in her heels, this episode offers a hopeful reminder: the goal isn't to win every argument. It's to faithfully walk alongside the girl God has entrusted to you, building trust over time and helping her learn to respond to conflict with wisdom, respect, humility, and prayer. Three Things to Consider : Build trust and loyalty over time by consistently respecting your daughter, especially during conflict. Not every disagreement is worth the battle—ask whether the issue is truly a "hill worth dying on." Make genuine, humble prayer together a place where both you and your daughter can seek God's wisdom and find common ground.

  Ep. 426 - Cultural Hot Takes & Guiding Your Opinionated Girl

  Sep 22, 202627 minS3

  What happens when your strong-willed, opinionated girl discovers the world of "hot takes," rage bait, memes, and unpopular opinions? On this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, Rachael Culpepper and Melissa Bearden explore why these bite-sized cultural opinions can be so appealing to girls—and how parents can help their daughters develop something far more lasting: Biblical wisdom, character, and integrity. In a culture where humor, likes, outrage, and social influence can reward the loudest or most provocative opinion, Christian girls need to learn how to discern what is worth embracing and what should be left behind. Rachael and Melissa unpack what it means to live "in the world and not of the world," reminding parents that a Biblical Worldview doesn't mean a girl has to lose her sense of humor or cultural awareness. Rather, it means learning to recognize the dignity of every person as an image-bearer of God and knowing when a trend crosses the line into humiliation, cruelty, or disrespect. In a Raising Godly Girls Minute, AHG Founder & Executive Director Emeritus Patti Garibay compares today's endless stream of hot takes to "junk food" for the heart and mind. Drawing from Proverbs 2:1-6, she encourages parents to help their daughters develop an appetite for the deeper, timeless wisdom found in God's Word. Rachael and Melissa then offer practical ways to shepherd strong-willed girls through cultural trends: familiarize yourself with what she's talking about, invite her into conversation through questions rather than immediate statements, and connect the conversation back to God's character and wisdom. The episode also highlights how parents can give strong-willed girls an " on-ramp " into Biblical conversations by respecting their growing agency while still providing a clear framework for wise decision-making. Instead of simply shutting down an unfamiliar opinion or trend, parents can help their daughters slow down, ask questions, examine the consequences, and consider how their choices reflect the character of Christ. Listeners will also hear how American Heritage Girls equips girls ages 5 to 18 to grow in character, Biblical leadership, and integrity. From the GRIT with Grace Girls Leadership Curriculum to AHG's partnership with AXIS Christian Parenting, families have resources designed to help girls navigate culture with courage, discernment, and a Biblical Worldview. For parents raising strong-willed girls, this conversation offers encouragement that those big opinions and bold personalities don't have to be a problem to solve. With faithful guidance, they can become strengths that God uses to develop women of conviction, wisdom, courage, and grace. Three Things to Consider : When a hot take or cultural trend lands in your home, take time to understand it before leading your daughter through it. Approach strong-willed girls with questions that invite conversation rather than immediately making statements that can shut the conversation down. Connect cultural conversations to God's character and help your daughter consider the implications of her choices before giving her room to make the next move.
