In a world where Scripture is often twisted to fit the moment, how can families raise girls who rightly divide the Word of Truth? On today's episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Natalie Ambrose take a deep dive into the importance of Biblical context in shaping a girl's worldview. From commonly misused verses to the cultural pressures to “live your own truth,” this conversation is a heartfelt and insightful reminder that the Bible must be read with reverence, understanding, and humility—especially in today's cultural moment.  You'll hear personal confessions, parenting reflections, and real-life stories that highlight the difference between casually quoting Scripture and truly living it out. Rachael and Natalie remind us that Scripture isn't a collection of motivational sound bites, but a living Word—historically rooted, theologically rich, and transformational when understood correctly. Listeners will walk away with practical ways to help their daughters read and apply the Bible, from understanding genre and first-audience context to adopting a learner mindset that invites the Holy Spirit to shape their hearts.  This episode also features an impactful Raising Godly Girls Minute from American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director Patti Garibay, exploring how “a text without context is a con” and encouraging girls—and their parents—to approach the Word of God with humility and wisdom. Patti's message underscores the need to engage Scripture not as ammunition for arguments, but as a guide for holy living and a tool for developing deep spiritual maturity.  Rachael and Natalie also explore the role of American Heritage Girls in helping girls grow a strong, Scripture-centered foundation. From AHG's Faith Awards and badge program to partnerships with trusted ministries like Bible Belles, Summit Ministries, and Museum of the Bible, this episode casts a vision for a girlhood rooted in God's Word. AHG doesn't just teach Biblical literacy—it fosters a lifelong love for God, His Word, and His design for every area of life.  If you've ever wondered how to equip your daughter to face today's culture with biblical clarity, this episode is for you. Join us as we unpack the layers of Scripture, laugh a little, and leave inspired to lead our girls with grace, truth, and unshakable confidence in God's Word.  Find an American Heritage Girls Troop near you, visit americanheritagegirls.org        Add even more Biblical wisdom to your parenting quiver, visit raisinggodlygirls.com

"Does not wisdom call out? Does not understanding raise her voice?"  Proverbs 8:1 When I slow down and consider all of the people I've met since we began this ministry/company, there are a few special people whose voices ring with genuine wisdom and the incomparable truth found in God's Word. They are the voices that I was looking for as a mama. Above the roar of culture, they are the voices our girls need to hear. They are powerful weapons in the fight for our girls. My dear friend Wynter Pitts had a voice like that, and she used it to empower parents to lead their daughters to Christ and encourage girls to live with the gospel at the center of everything.  When she suddenly passed away less than two weeks ago, the girl ministry community, as well as my own home and family, were rocked. But what began in sadness and confusion ended with incredible peace and a rallying by the body of Christ unlike any that I have ever seen.  On behalf of the team at Bible Belles, it is my honor to re-release the interview I did with Wynter a few months ago. It's title, "She Is Yours," carries with it special meaning for me today, as I think about every girl who was and will be affected by Wynter's words and life, and as I think about my sweet friend who is now safe in the arms of Jesus, the One to whom she belongs. Lord, she is Yours. We celebrate her today, and we carry her legacy into tomorrow.

Melanie from Axis was just featured on the "Heroes for Her Podcast" from The Bible Belles.   She was showcased as a woman in the business world and interviewed about her life experience in a unique ministry position with Axis and how it influenced her life.  There is definitely conversation about "culture translation" and handling smartphones in the family, but mostly - this is a fun, unique opportunity to showcase one of our wonderful employees who is being recognized for her work and character. We say "Brava, Mel!"  "How do you raise a child who understands the phone the will inevitably handle someday?" "How do you raise a child who won't be shocked by the world they live in when they reach independence and exposure to culture?"  This is a short excerpt.

As a certified teacher, coach, and nationally recognized speaker, she offers speaking, workshops, and seminars to equip women of all ages to let go of fear and step into the unique leadership roles for which they were designed. She is also pleased to be a part of the Speakers Bureau for World Vision, a Christian humanitarian organization.

Erin Weidemann sits down with me across our virtual kitchen table. Sometimes I meet people and its like we could be real life friends if we only lived in the same area. I felt that way about Erin. She is the co-founder and creator of Bible Belles which is a publishing company whose mission is to help girls discover real beauty, God's love, and their purpose through the female heroes of the Bible. She’s also the host of the Heroes For Her Podcast which highlights positive role models for girls today. In this conversation, we talk about how she ended up going from a middle school teacher to running a company; why she chose to create products for young girls to help them talk about beauty and identity; how to move girls from self-doubt to purpose; raising girls in the current culture climate and how we tend to put God in a box with what He could do through us.

And as always, I hope this show helps you survive a little easier.

Erin is the founder and CEO of Bible Belles. She is a certified teacher, coach, and nationally recognized speaker. Erin interviews Tammy on the Hero's for Her podcast show. Listen in as Tammy tells Erin's audience about a personal supernatural encounter with God.

God has brought opportunities to Erin Weidemann throughout her life. Listen as Erin shares her story of being an overcomer and how looking for a present for her niece led to the writing the Bible Belles series. This series teaches character through stories of Deborah, Hannah, Ester, Abigail, and Ruth. Partnering with World Vision, Erin is working to equip the next generation of girls with boldness and tells how you can help. When you hear this interview you will be encouraged to follow God's call on your life.

To lead well you have to love people and children. Erin Weidemann is Love Leads in action. Listen to her story as she shares about faith, surviving five cancer diagnosis, and following God's call to write books for young girls called Bible Belles. Erin tells how you can be the hero the next generation of girls needs.

Belle means beautiful in Latin, and that is exactly what Erin Weidemann is trying to help girls define.  Using women of the Bible, Erin has created a company whose mission is to teach girls about prayerfulness, patience, bravery, leadership, and loyalty.  The hope is that girls would not only learn about these women of faith, but would then adopt those traits and live them out in their daily lives. Erin's enthusiasm is contagious, and her ideas brilliant.  She uses five women of the Bible (Hannah, Esther, Abigail, Ruth and Deborah), five traits, and five virtues to teach timeless character.  As a former teacher Erin incorporates language, visual elements and acronyms to help girls learn the practicals of traits like courage (see SHIELD acronym in the show notes). In fact it was her years of teaching that inspired her to consider how to teach her own daughter about the women of the Bible and Bible Belles was born. Whether you are listening for your daughter or for yourself, you will walk away inspired to deepen your faith, character, and leadership. Because these women's stories and the virtues we learn from them span time, space and stage of life.

I invited Erin Weidemann back to the podcast to talk about Deborah: The Belle of Leadership (book 5 in the Bible Belles series) and give us an update on her recent interviews, what she's learned as an accidental entrepreneur, and her new speaking partnership with World Vision. About the Book:  The adventure continues in Book Five of the Bible Belles series. With the angel Mari by her side, Rooney has learned that God has given her four real superpowers: Prayer, Patience, Bravery, and Loyalty. Her transformation into a superhero is almost complete. What's missing? The Bell of Leadership. As she watches Deborah rise up and lead an entire nation to victory, Rooney realizes that true leadership means inspiring others and working together. Through the story of Deborah, Rooney learns that God is calling her to lead. Is she ready to answer the call?  Come along with Rooney as she becomes the greatest superhero of all: a Bible Belle! About the Author: Erin Weidemann is a teacher turned professional author. A former college athlete, Erin is also a five-time cancer survivor. She lives in Encinitas, California with her husband Brent and their daughter Rooney. In addition to being the co-founder and CEO of Bible Belles, Erin is the host of the Heroes For Her podcast.

Welcome to The Shaun Tabatt Show! Today I speak with Erin Weidemann about her faith journey, surviving cancer, and the road to becoming a children's author. Here's what you'll learn in today's interview: Erin's backstory and faith journey (00:45 - 03:31) How a children's birthday party helped the Bible Belles series first begin to take shape (03:32 - 05:57) Meet Rooney Cruz, one of the central characters in the Bible Belles series. (05:58 - 08:56) Meet Mari, Rooney's special companion on her Bible Belles adventures (08:57 - 10:05) Why did you select Hannah, Esther, and Abigail for the first three books in the Bible Belles series and what do you hope to teach girls through each of them? (10:06 - 12:43) What is significant about the special gift that Mari gives Rooney at the end of each story? (12:44 - 15:00) A sneak peek at the “Heroes for Her” that we'll be meeting in books four and five of the Bible Belles series (15:01 - 18:12) What would you like to see every girl take away from your stories? (18:13 - 19:53) How can parents, grandparents, and teachers put Bible Belles to use? (19:54 - 21:22) Where to go online to connect with Erin and lean more about the Bible Belles series. (21:23 - 21:55) About the Bible Belles series:  After tossing around some ideas for what to get our niece Hannah for her birthday, we decided we didn't want to buy her just another toy. It had to be something meaningful, something special. We simplified the story of Hannah from the Bible and made her a personalized book, so she could know about a great hero whose name she shares. I wrote the story, and Brent illustrated the cover. When we gave her the book, she smiled, shrugged, and said, “I didn't even know there was a Hannah in the Bible.” Then, a light went off. Wouldn't it be great if girls today were just as excited about biblical women as they are about princesses: real examples of true beauty, women who can be real heroes for girls today? That would be something. That would be everything. And, just like that, Bible Belles was born. Putting The "Her" In Hero An engaging, high-quality Christian book series for kids, “The Adventures of Rooney Cruz” is a series unlike any other. Rooted in truth and the firm foundation of God's word, “The Adventures of Rooney Cruz” takes girls on a journey to discover true beauty, God's love, and their unique purpose. Virtues From The Bible Prayer, Patience, Bravery, Loyalty and Leadership. From the moment you found out you were going to be a girl mom, you've thought about your daughter's heart and that you're charged with teaching her what she needs to know. We're here to give you the tools you need to talk to your girl about what's beautiful according to God. After all, His is the ultimate measure of beauty. These books focus on cultivating a beautiful heart and nurturing the qualities that make a truly beautiful woman, empowering girls to stop mimicking the world's definition of beauty and instead, make a different kind of noise. A Frame Character Children Connect With Rooney Cruz is a modern day 9 year old girl who gets a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet the Bible Belles and discover the hero inside herself. While most children's bible stories are a summary of events, Rooney Cruz offers readers a way to really connect with the female Bible heroes. In each book, Rooney faces a real world problem and learns how to use her God-given superpowers to address it. Rooney teaches today's girls how to wield the powers of Prayer, Patience, Bravery, Loyalty and Leadership in their own lives, too. A Chance For Moms To Pour In For the first time, you get the chance to discuss your faith with your kids in context, in a way that makes sense for them. These books were designed to spark an honest conversation between moms and daughters about how God measures beauty, as well as their purpose in this world. Since our frame character is unfamiliar with the biblical world, she's prone to asking questions–a lot of questions–which gives you the perfect opportunity to teach your girl about what she's reading and how your own experiences and lessons have shaped you. Positive Role Models For Girls Girls need role models. They need real heroes who reinforce the right values and virtues. These days, there's no shortage of women who are successful in their chosen field (which we think is AWESOME, by the way), and a lot of the time the ones who are loudest are the ones who get noticed. But where are the real heroes: women who pray, women with a heart to serve, women who lead with their values? They're out there, but their stories have been drowned out by the overwhelming narrative of the world. Well, not anymore. It's time for the sound of the Belles to be HEARD. Quality To Keep Her Attention We understand that most Christian products these days are, well, lame. We get why it's easy to opt out of most Christian books. We didn't want to make another series that kids would want to pass up for something better. We wanted to give girls the kind of experience they would cherish, now and forever. We chose a larger size and thick glossy pages. We even hired a former Disney Animator for crying out loud! We are dedicated to helping girls connect with these stories, and high quality is one of the ways we accomplish that. About the Author: Erin Weidemann is a teacher turned professional author.
