Raising Godly Girls

Ep. 210 — The Bible, Culture, & Today's Context for Families


Listen Later

In a world where Scripture is often twisted to fit the moment, how can families raise girls who rightly divide the Word of Truth? On today's episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Natalie Ambrose take a deep dive into the importance of Biblical context in shaping a girl's worldview. From commonly misused verses to the cultural pressures to "live your own truth," this conversation is a heartfelt and insightful reminder that the Bible must be read with reverence, understanding, and humility—especially in today's cultural moment.

You'll hear personal confessions, parenting reflections, and real-life stories that highlight the difference between casually quoting Scripture and truly living it out. Rachael and Natalie remind us that Scripture isn't a collection of motivational sound bites, but a living Word—historically rooted, theologically rich, and transformational when understood correctly. Listeners will walk away with practical ways to help their daughters read and apply the Bible, from understanding genre and first-audience context to adopting a learner mindset that invites the Holy Spirit to shape their hearts.

This episode also features an impactful Raising Godly Girls Minute from American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director Patti Garibay, exploring how "a text without context is a con" and encouraging girls—and their parents—to approach the Word of God with humility and wisdom. Patti's message underscores the need to engage Scripture not as ammunition for arguments, but as a guide for holy living and a tool for developing deep spiritual maturity.

Rachael and Natalie also explore the role of American Heritage Girls in helping girls grow a strong, Scripture-centered foundation. From AHG's Faith Awards and badge program to partnerships with trusted ministries like Bible Belles, Summit Ministries, and Museum of the Bible, this episode casts a vision for a girlhood rooted in God's Word. AHG doesn't just teach Biblical literacy—it fosters a lifelong love for God, His Word, and His design for every area of life.

If you've ever wondered how to equip your daughter to face today's culture with biblical clarity, this episode is for you. Join us as we unpack the layers of Scripture, laugh a little, and leave inspired to lead our girls with grace, truth, and unshakable confidence in God's Word.
