In today's culture, identity can feel fluid, fragmented, and often far removed from God's design. But what if one of the most powerful tools for shaping a girl's identity is already right in front of her—her family? In this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael and Natalie dive deep into the beauty and complexity of family life and how God uses it to build a girl's understanding of who she is. From funny ancestor stories to meaningful family rhythms, Rachael and Natalie invite moms to consider how both heritage and present-day family dynamics can uniquely shape a girl's sense of belonging, purpose, and place in the world.  With insight drawn from American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director Patti Garibay's Raising Godly Girls Minute, listeners are reminded that just as Jesus's lineage is listed with care and purpose in Matthew 1, our own family histories matter—and can become a sacred backdrop for spiritual growth and identity formation. Whether your daughter is thriving in a close-knit home or navigating more complicated family realities, this episode is full of encouragement that God doesn't waste any part of her story. Every family, no matter how messy or marvelous, is part of God's bigger plan for shaping the heart and future of a girl.  Rachael and Natalie share personal stories from “Cousin Camps,” family chore charts, and messy kitchen memories that highlight the role of everyday moments in building spiritual and emotional resilience. You'll also hear ideas for connecting your daughter's “I am” statements not only to her identity in Christ, but also to her unique role within her family. Phrases like “I am loved by THIS family” and “I am called to care for the people God gave me” are powerful reminders that her home can be a holy ground for learning responsibility, empathy, and grace.  The hosts also highlight how the American Heritage Girls Program supports this kind of identity building with purposeful badge programs such as the Ancestor Detector Badge, Identity Badge, and Family Helper Badge. Whether you're an AHG mom or simply longing to see your daughter flourish within her God-given family unit, this episode will leave you inspired to pause, pray, and intentionally shape how she sees herself in light of her spiritual and familial heritage.  Find an American Heritage Girls Troop near you, visit americanheritagegirls.org       Add even more Biblical wisdom to your parenting quiver, visit raisinggodlygirls.com

What does it mean to be beautiful in a culture that constantly shifts the standard? How can moms raise daughters to be confident in who God made them to be—without getting caught up in the world's obsession with image and appearance? In this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael and Melissa open up about their own girlhood experiences with beauty standards shaped by pop culture, from magazine quizzes to celebrity beauty icons. Together, they explore how those early messages still linger today—and how our daughters now face even greater pressure in the age of social media.  With honesty, humor, and heartfelt faith, Rachael and Melissa reflect on the growing trend of “Get Ready With Me” videos that invite girls as young as eight to model their beauty routines for an online audience. Drawing wisdom from American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director Patti Garibay's Raising Godly Girls Minute, they confront how easily young girls begin to equate their worth with how they look, rather than who they are in Christ. Through the lens of Romans 12:2, they offer a compelling call to raise girls who are not conformed to the patterns of this world, but who are transformed by the renewing of their minds—anchored in Biblical truth and Godly confidence.  Listeners will be invited into a grace-filled, practical conversation about where beauty and faith intersect. From vulnerable anecdotes about personal image struggles to actionable conversation starters for moms and daughters, this episode provides a roadmap for shaping a Christ-centered understanding of beauty. You'll hear how small moments—like bedtime chats or quiet prayers—can become holy ground for heart-deep conversations, and how even something as simple as an AHG badge can become a meaningful tool for discipleship.  If you've ever wondered how to help your girl navigate a world obsessed with filters, fashion, and false standards, this episode will encourage you to pause, pray, and speak truth into her heart. Join us as we explore how to raise girls who know their worth, not by how the world sees them, but by the eyes of a loving God who calls them fearfully and wonderfully made.   Find an American Heritage Girls Troop near you, visit americanheritagegirls.org       Add even more Biblical wisdom to your parenting quiver, visit raisinggodlygirls.com

In a world that often undervalues nurturing and quiet strength, this episode invites you and your daughter into something deeply countercultural—and deeply Biblical: the practice of spiritual mothering.  Whether your daughter grows up to become a biological mom or not, God has already placed a calling on her life to nurture others spiritually. This kind of influence doesn't require a specific title, age, or life stage—it simply requires faithfulness. Today, co-hosts Rachael and Natalie unpack what it means to raise a girl who sees herself as a vessel for Christ-centered mentorship, encouragement, and wisdom.  You'll hear a powerful Raising Godly Girls Minute from American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director, Patti Garibay, reflecting on the lasting legacy of spiritual mothers in her own life and the lives of AHG girls across the country.

In this episode of Raising Godly Girls, co-hosts Rachael and Natalie explore the concept of "Holy Habits"—the intentional, God-centered practices that shape a lifelong spiritual foundation. As 2024 draws to a close, they reflect on the importance of creating habits that go beyond simple routines, offering examples of how spiritual rhythms can deeply root faith in the heart and mind of your daughter. From regular worship and family prayer times to joyful celebrations of spiritual milestones, Rachael and Natalie discuss how Holy Habits can nurture and sustain a girl's relationship with God year-round.  One essential practice they explore is the concept of “Spiritual Rites of Passage.” Inspired by a recent Raising Godly Girls Minute segment, they consider how celebrating milestones like baptism or confirmation with the same enthusiasm as birthdays can help girls see their faith as an integral part of their identity. Rachael and Natalie share personal experiences, along with Biblical insights, to illustrate how marking these moments can anchor your daughter's spiritual journey and create cherished, God-focused memories.  They also dig into the importance of keeping Holy Habits free from legalism or a “checklist” mentality. As Natalie puts it, these habits are about tuning our hearts to sing God's grace—not about earning His favor. From the hymns of old to the wise words of mentors, they remind listeners that spiritual growth often comes through “long, slow obedience in the same direction.”  Listeners will discover practical ways to start building these holy habits—from choosing a single, small habit to foster consistency, to incorporating age-appropriate faith practices with resources from AHG's ministry alliances. The episode encourages parents to approach these practices with grace, knowing that growth in faith, like any good habit, takes time and commitment.     Find an American Heritage Girls Troop near you, visit americanheritagegirls.org Add even more Biblical wisdom to your parenting quiver, visit raisinggodlygirls.com

Join hosts , The Natural Nurse & DrZ, as they explore some of the most powerful natural  treatments for digestive ailments.   Digestive concerns are one of the top issues that initiate both in office calls to physicians and over-the-counter sales of self-help medicines.   In fact, heartburn, GERD, gas ,bloating, constipation, diarrhea, and even more serious conditions such as colitis and Crohn's disease are so common in the western developed world, that many  mainstream prescription medicines have become Over the counter [ OTC] and are used by millions of people at their peril, as they have a litany of side effects and drug nutrient depletions.   For example, allopathic treatment of GERD/ heartburn requires patients to be put on a cocktail of proton pump inhibitors and Histamine blocking pharmaceuticals for lengthy periods to block excess acid when in fact, patients have an overproduction of too weak acid, and  have chronic hiatal hernias. The Standard American diet,{SAD}  is devoid of many nutrients, and the use of these pharmaceuticals leads to gastroparesis, or the food remaining in the stomach for too long…. fermenting, causing gas and bloating, and feeding negative stomach intestinal flora.    Natural medicines and TCM [the ancient Chinese system of medicine] have developed effective, non-toxic treatments that get to the root cause of these conditions. For instance, a naturopathic physician Fletcher (1800s ) had his patients simply take bitter herbs,  chew their food to liquid, take time with their  meals,  and cured 90% of these all digestive conditions!!   In addition, there are a host of other effective treatments that will be discussed in the program  such as digestive tonic herbs,carminatives, aperitifs, homeopathics, traditional Chinese medicine, enzymes,and other supplements  which can Aid patients in the treatment of  these acute and chronic digestive concerns.   Contact:    Ellen Kamhi PhD, RN, AHN-BC, RH(AHG)                  www.naturalnurse.com                      Dr. Eugene Zampieron, ND, AHG                  www.drznaturally.com

It's Monday, July 8th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Kevin Swanson heard bombs in Ukraine, asks for prayers for suffering church Kevin Swanson, the founder of Generations, has been traveling throughout Ukraine.  Here is his report. SWANSON: “Adam, Gerald Huebner and I are in Kryvyi on a mission to bring the family discipleship message to the nation of Ukraine. We have been invited to encourage pastors, Christian leaders, and families from various denominations on the subjects of Christian family life, Christian worldview, and family-based education during a time of very deep crisis for the nation. “We rode the train overnight into Kryvyi, into south central Ukraine, arriving about five o'clock this morning. I'm gonna say about 7:30am the bombing siren sounded and explosions were heard around the city, probably Ukrainian defenses shooting down missiles launched into the area. “An Evangelical pastor in Cherkasy told me yesterday they have had more free speech and less persecution at the hands of the state here in Ukraine since gaining independence in 1992. Ukrainians have an independent streak and they appreciate their freedoms here. “Now, this has been a time of growth for Evangelical Christian faith in the country. But Christians have recently reported 30 Ukrainian Evangelical pastors killed thus far in the war at the hands of the Russians. The two-plus year war is wearing hard on the civilian population here in central, southern, and eastern Ukraine. The power grid is mostly down, maybe two hours a day. Very little air conditioning, not much promise of heating this winter. “However, these pastors tell us that the Evangelical work of the church must continue despite the war. We still have the obligation to pursue the greatest commission disciple the nations no matter what. And that's why we are ministering here in Ukraine on this day, July 5, 2024. So, pray for the suffering Church in a time of war. These are faithful Christians serving Jesus, but facing extreme hardship. “This is Kevin Swanson reporting for The Worldview from Kryvyi, Ukraine.” Revelation 2:10 says, “Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution. … Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you life as your victor's crown.” Joe Biden's grimace-worthy post-debate interview Following the June 27th Biden/Trump presidential debate in which many viewers thought Biden's performance was so demonstrably poor that he should consider withdrawing from the race altogether, ABC aired an eye-opening interview last Friday in which George Stephanopoulos sat down with President Biden who blamed his bad performance on a cold. STEPHANOPOLOUS: “Let's start with the debate. You and your team have said you had a bad night. But your friend Nancy Pelosi actually framed the question I think is on the minds of millions of Americans. Was this a bad episode or the sign of a more serious condition?” BIDEN: “It was a bad episode. No indication of any serious condition. I was exhausted. I didn't listen to my instincts, in terms of preparedness, and a bad night.” STEPHANOPOLOUS: “You know, you say you're exhausted. And I know you've said that before as well. But you came home from Europe about 11 or 12 days before the debate, spent six days in Camp David. Why wasn't that enough rest time, enough recovery time?” BIDEN: “Because I was sick. I was feeling terrible. Matter of fact, the docs with me I asked him if did a COVID test because we're trying to figure out what's wrong. They did a test to see whether or not I had some infection, you know, a virus. I didn't. They just said I had a really bad cold.” Stephanopolous to Biden: "Are you more frail?" STEPHANOPOLOUS:  “Do you dispute that there have been more lapses, especially in the last several months?” BIDEN:  “Can I run the 100 [meters] in 10 [seconds] flat? No. But I'm still in good shape.” STEPHANOPOLOUS:  “Are you more frail?” BIDEN: “No.” STEPHANOPOLOUS:  “I know you spoke with your doctor after the debate. What did he say?” BIDEN: “He said, ‘You're exhausted.' I have medical doctors travel with me everywhere I go. Every president does, as you know. I have an ongoing assessment of what I'm doing. They don't hesitate to tell me if they think there's something wrong.” STEPHANOPOLOUS:  “Have you had a full neurological and cognitive evaluation?” BIDEN: “I get a full neurological test every day. And I've had a full physical.” STEPHANOPOLOUS:  “Have you had this specific cognitive test? And have you had a neurologist, a specialist, do an examination?” BIDEN: “No. No one said that I had to.  They said I'm good.” STEPHANOPOLOUS:  “Would you be willing to undergo an independent medical evaluation that included neurological and cognitive tests and released the results to the American people?” BIDEN: “Look, I have a cognitive test every single day. Everything I do. Not only am I campaigning, but I'm running the world. There's no day I go through there are not those decisions I have to make every single day.” STEPHANOPOLOUS:  “Yet there are concerns about your age and your health are growing. So, that's why I'm asking you. To reassure them, would you be willing to have the independent medical evaluation?” BIDEN: “There's a lot of time left in this campaign. There's over 125 days.” STEPHANOPOLOUS:  “The answer right now is: ‘No.' You don't want to do that right now.” BIDEN:  “No, I've already done it.” Stephanopoulos to Biden: "Are you "being honest with yourself?" Stephanopoulos became more direct. STEPHANOPOLOUS:  “Are you sure you're being honest with yourself when you say you have the mental and physical capacity to serve another four years?” BIDEN: “Yes I am because, George, the last thing I want to do is not be able to meet that.” STEPHANOPOLOUS:  “But are you being honest with yourself as well about your ability to defeat Donald Trump right now?” BIDEN: “Yes! Yes, yes, yes.” STEPHANOPOLOUS:  “You say that and let me challenge you.” BIDEN: “Sure.” STEPHANOPOLOUS:  “Because you were close, but behind going into the debate. You're further behind now, by any measure. It's been a two-man race for several months. Inflation has come down.  In those last few months, he's become a convicted felon, yet you're still falling further behind.” BIDEN: “You guys keep saying that. George, look, you know polling better than anybody. Do you think polling data is as accurate as it used to be?” Number of Americans who think Biden is too old has doubled The ABC anchor cited the dramatic increase in American voters who believe Joe Biden is too old to run for re-election. STEPHANOPOLOUS:  “The number of Americans who think you're too old to serve has doubled since 2020. Wouldn't a clear-eyed political calculus tell you that it's going to be much tougher to win in 2024?” BIDEN: “Not when you're running against a pathological liar. Not when he hadn't been challenged in a way that he is about to be challenged. Not when people …” STEPHANOPOLOUS:  “You have had months to challenge him.” BIDEN: “Well, sure I had months, but I was also doing a lot of other things like wars around the world, by keeping NATO together.” STEPHANOPOLOUS:  “Do you really believe you're not behind right now?” BIDEN: “All pollsters I talked to tell me it's a toss-up.” STEPHANOPOLOUS:  “When you look at the reality though, Mr. President, I mean, you won the popular vote in 2020, but it was still deadly close in the Electoral College.” BIDEN: “by seven million votes.” STEPHANOPOLOUS:  “Yes, but you're behind now in the popular vote.” BIDEN: “I don't, I don't buy that.” STEPHANOPOLOUS:  “Is it worth the risk?” BIDEN: “I don't think anybody's more qualified to be president or win this race than me.” Democratic Senator Mark Warner and other senators think Biden should step down While Biden was incredulous that Trump wanted to undo all of the policies he has implemented in the last three and a half years, Stephanopoulos zeroed in on the question of whether Biden is the best man to defeat Trump. BIDEN: “He's the guy who wants to undo every single thing I've done, every single thing!” STEPHANOPOLOUS:  “I understand that's why you want to stay in the race. But have you convinced yourself that only you can defeat him?” BIDEN: “I've convinced myself of two things. I'm the most qualified person to beat him. And I know how to get things done.” STEPHANOPOLOUS:  “If you can be convinced that you cannot defeat Donald Trump, will you stand down?” BIDEN: “Well, it depends. If the Lord Almighty comes down and tells me that, I might do that.” STEPHANOPOLOUS:  Well, I mean, on a more practical level, the Washington Post just reported in the last hour that Senator Mark Warner [of Virginia] is assembling a group of senators together to try to convince you to stand down because they don't think you can win more. BIDEN: “Mark and I have a different perspective.” STEPHANOPOLOUS:  “And if Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries and Nancy Pelosi come down and say, ‘We're worried that if you stay in the race, we're going to lose the House and the Senate, how will you respond?” BIDEN: “I'd go into detail and I've spoken to all of them -- in detail. They all said I should stay in the race.” STEPHANOPOLOUS:  “But if they do?” BIDEN: “They're not going to do that.” STEPHANOPOLOUS:  “You're sure?” BIDEN: “Yeah, I'm sure. If the Lord Almighty came down and said, ‘Joe, get out of the race,' I'd get out of the race. But the Lord Almighty is not coming down.” Matthew 24:42 says, “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.” Girl Scouts pushes homosexual “pride” patch, rewarding girls for attending perverse parades And finally, as Kevin Swanson travels and speaks abroad, I guest host for him today on Generations Radio. I chatted with Patti Garibay, founder of American Heritage Girls, a Christ-centered scouting program for girls in which my 12-year-old daughter Mercy participates. Back in the 1990s, she founded American Heritage Girls when the Girl Scouts abandoned loyalty to God in their pledge and began endorsing abortion. Did you know that today the Girl Scouts is now giving the 1.7 million girls in its program the opportunity to earn a homosexual pride patch?  Listen. GARIBAY: “On their Facebook page, June one, they encourage the girls to earn their LGBTQ+ ‘Pride' patch, and to march in their local parades, as well as research some famous people in the LGBTQ community so that they can learn more. And this goes all the way down to the little 5-year-old Daisies. They are to learn about these kinds of the famous authors, the famous artists from the LGBTQ. McMANUS: “I'm looking directly at the Girl Scouts homosexual Transgender Pride badge. The Daisy, Brownie, and Junior Girl Scout levels, which consists of children beginning in kindergarten, must participate in three Pride-related -- meaning homosexual/transgender-related activities to earn the patch. Older Girl Scouts at the Cadet, Senior, and Ambassador levels must participate in six activities, ‘Pride' homosexual events to earn the patch. “Girl Scouts are encouraged to identify five books by homosexual/transgender authors, create a painting of a homosexual/transgender artist, create a music playlist of 12 homosexual/transgender musicians and the list goes on. “It's just baffling! They're just falling all over themselves to cave to the culture.” In Matthew 18:6, Jesus said, “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in Me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.” To listen to my interview with Patti Garibay, the founder of American Heritage Girls, just go to Generations.org/radio.
