Raising Godly Girls

Ep. 289 — Rooted in God's Design Why Girls Need a Biblical Perspective on Marriage and Family with Katy Faust (Them Before Us)


Listen Later

What does it look like to raise girls who see marriage and family not as cultural constructs—but as part of God's unchanging design? In this powerful conversation, host and American Heritage Girls Executive Director Rachael Culpepper welcomes Katy Faust, Founder and President of Them Before Us, a global movement advocating for children's rights to be raised by both their mother and father. Together, they explore why a Biblical understanding of family is not only foundational for our daughters' emotional and spiritual growth but essential for preserving truth in a world that's constantly rewriting the rules.

Katy's passion for God's design is contagious. With wisdom, courage, and years of advocacy experience, she unpacks how cultural trends have shifted family decisions away from the wellbeing of children—and how Christian parents can help restore that focus. Through Scripture and real-world insight, this episode encourages moms and dads to lead with conviction and grace, modeling for their girls what it means to live according to the Creator's beautiful blueprint for family.

Listeners will be challenged to see marriage and family not as outdated ideals, but as divine gifts designed to reflect the heart of God—where love, sacrifice, and identity all find their source. Whether your daughter is growing up in a culture of confusion or curiosity, this episode will help you equip her to discern truth, celebrate God's design, and walk confidently in faith.
