Raising Godly Girls

Ep. 245 — God's Design for Discipleship Starts in Your Living Room


Listen Later

What if the most powerful place to disciple your daughter isn't a classroom, a church, or a camp—but your own living room? In this practical and heartfelt episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, hosts Rachael Culpepper and Melissa Bearden invite you to recenter your family life around God's original design for discipleship: one that starts at home, in the rhythms of everyday parenting.

In a culture where spiritual formation is often outsourced to Sunday school or youth group, Scripture calls parents to be the first and most enduring voice of truth in their children's lives. But let's be honest—between laundry piles, dinner prep, and constant to-dos, that kind of intentionality can feel overwhelming. Today's episode encourages you to shift your mindset, embrace holy interruptions, and trust that God is present and powerful in your home—even in the mess.

You'll hear honest stories about motherhood, homeschooling, and discipleship through dinnertime devotions, tough conversations, and the daily chaos of real life. Rachael and Melissa unpack how Deuteronomy 6 isn't just theory—it's a roadmap for forming your girl's faith through consistency, curiosity, and connection. You'll leave this episode reminded that you don't need to be a trained theologian to raise a girl who knows, loves, and lives for Jesus.

In this episode, you'll discover:

  • Why your home is the most formative place for faith and worldview development

  • How to transform ordinary moments—like bedtime, car rides, and family meals—into discipleship opportunities

  • Practical, age-appropriate tools to help your girl own her faith, ask big questions, and grow in Biblical literacy

  • Encouragement for busy moms feeling the weight of spiritual responsibility—and the grace to know God works through your willingness, not your perfection

  • How American Heritage Girls supports and amplifies home discipleship through Christ-centered community
