Every parent has a story. For some, it’s a story of steady faith passed down through generations. For others, it’s a testimony of wandering, stumbling, and finding God’s grace in unexpected places. No matter which story you carry, your testimony is one of the most powerful tools God has given you to disciple your daughter. 

In this episode, co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Natalie Ambrose unpack the beauty and challenge of parenting through your own testimony. Natalie vulnerably shares about her years of struggle and redemption, while Rachael reflects on the grace of a “tame” testimony. Together, they remind parents that every story is a story of God’s faithfulness—and that sharing authentically with your daughter can point her to the goodness of Jesus in both the mundane and the miraculous. 

You’ll hear a Raising Godly Girls Minute from American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director Emeritus, Patti Garibay, on why no testimony is “boring” when it highlights the steadfast love of God across generations. Plus, Rachael and Natalie offer practical encouragement for breaking off shame, funneling your fears through Scripture, and modeling the same Gospel that continues to transform your own heart.

If you’ve ever wondered how much of your story to share with your daughter, or feared that your past disqualifies you from leading her in faith, this conversation will anchor you in truth: God uses every testimony for His glory, and your girl needs to see His story alive in you.
