Raising Godly Girls

As Election Week unfolds, it's easy to get swept up in the political whirlwind. But as Christ-followers, our ultimate allegiance is not to political parties or candidates, but to God. In this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael and Melissa reflect on how to guide girls in prioritizing their faith over politics, helping them to live boldly for Christ regardless of election outcomes. 

Through personal anecdotes, thoughtful conversation, and insights from AHG Founder & Executive Director Patti Garibay’s Raising Godly Girls Minute, Rachael and Melissa challenge us to ask ourselves—and our daughters—where our true hope lies. Are we placing our trust in a candidate, or are we anchoring our identity in Jesus? Highlighting Scripture, such as Colossians 3:17 and 2 Timothy 1:7-8, this episode encourages listeners to teach their girls that while political engagement is important, their identity in Christ must come first. 

Whether discussing the fear or excitement that can accompany election results, the hosts remind us that no matter who holds office, God remains on the throne. Listen in for practical ways to help your daughter engage with the world around her through a Biblical Worldview, while standing firm in her faith.
