• Ep. 247 — More Than Academics: Teaching Truth & Faith at Home with Yvette Hampton

  Today’s episode is a must-listen for every parent who wants their daughter’s education to be rooted in more than just grades and test scores. When it comes to shaping a girl’s heart, soul, and mind, discipleship doesn’t end at church—it starts at home. And for an increasing number of families, that includes homeschooling.  This weekend on the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, host Patti Garibay welcomes back Yvette Hampton—host of The Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast and producer of the powerful documentary Schoolhouse Rocked: The Homeschool Revolution. Yvette shares her heartfelt journey into homeschooling and offers an honest, hope-filled perspective on how parents can teach both truth and academics with confidence—even if they feel unqualified.  In a time when nearly 4 million children in the U.S. are homeschooled, this conversation tackles what’s driving the movement, the cultural pressures families are pushing back against, and how homeschooling allows space for Biblical worldview development, daily discipleship, and deep family connection. Yvette encourages moms and dads to remember that education isn’t just about passing on knowledge—it’s about passing on faith.  In this episode, you’ll gain:  Encouragement to embrace your God-given role as both parent and spiritual teacher  Insight into how homeschooling supports God’s design for discipleship in the family  Practical advice for integrating Scripture and truth into daily lessons  A reminder that even if you feel like you’ve “missed the mark,” God is not finished writing your family’s story  Resources for building Christ-centered community and courage in your homeschool journey  Scriptures Referenced:  Proverbs 22:6 – “Train up a child in the way he should go…”  Deuteronomy 6:6–7 – “Impress [God’s commands] on your children…”  Whether you’re new to homeschooling or simply rethinking how your home supports your child’s faith, this episode is a powerful reminder that education is never just academic—it’s spiritual. You don’t need credentials to teach your daughter about Christ. You just need conviction, consistency, and the courage to walk in obedience. And as Yvette shares, when you build your daughter’s education on the foundation of God’s Word, you’re preparing her not just for college—but for the Kingdom.    To learn more about Yvette and Schoolhouse Rocked, visit schoolhouserocked.com.  Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com.   To find or start an AHG Troop in your area, visit americanheritagegirls.org.

• Ep. 246 — Called but Not Ready: Leading Your Kids in Faith When You Don’t Feel Qualified

  Do you ever feel like you’re not qualified to lead your daughter spiritually? Maybe you didn’t grow up with strong faith role models, maybe you struggle to read Scripture consistently, or maybe you’re overwhelmed by the thought of answering your child’s deep questions about God. If so—you’re not alone. And this episode is for you.  This week on the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Melissa Bearden offer real talk and reassuring truth for every mom who feels inadequate when it comes to spiritual leadership. Together, they tackle the lie that says “you’re not equipped” and replace it with God’s truth: if He called you to it, He will carry you through it. You don’t need to be a Bible scholar to disciple your daughter—you just need a willing heart and the faith to take the next step.  Drawing from personal stories, Scripture, and relatable insight, Rachael and Melissa unpack how to lead your home in faith while learning and growing yourself. They remind listeners that spiritual formation isn’t a performance—it’s a relationship. And the best discipleship doesn’t happen in perfect devotionals, but in everyday moments of honesty, humility, and love.  In this episode, you’ll be encouraged to:  Trust that God chose you on purpose to raise your daughter—and He doesn’t make mistakes  Embrace discipleship as a journey you walk with your child, not something you have to master beforehand  Find your voice as a spiritual leader by speaking truth out loud and modeling dependence on God  Build confidence through community, mentorship, and resources like AHG curriculum and the Raising Godly Girls Guide to Biblical Worldview  Let go of the pressure to “have it all together,” and instead, learn the beauty of being a co-learner in God’s Word    Scriptures Referenced:  Proverbs 22:6 – “Train up a child in the way she should go…”  Deuteronomy 6:6–7 – “Impress [these commands] on your children…”  Ephesians 5:1–2 – “Be imitators of God… and walk in love…”  It’s okay if you don’t have all the answers. What matters most is showing up with humility, pointing your daughter to Jesus, and trusting that God’s grace fills every gap. In fact, the moments when you feel the weakest may be the very places where your daughter sees the strength of Christ most clearly.  Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com.   To find or start an AHG Troop in your area, visit americanheritagegirls.org.

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

  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  Scriptures Referenced:  Deuteronomy 6:6–7 – “Impress [God’s commands] on your children…”  Mark 10:14 – “Let the little children come to Me…”  Proverbs 22:6 – “Train up a child in the way she should go…”    Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com.   To find or start an AHG Troop in your area, visit americanheritagegirls.org
