In this empowering episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael and Natalie tackle a timely challenge every parent of a daughter faces: how to help her resist the pull of groupthink and peer pressure by developing strong critical thinking skills and asking thoughtful questions.  From personal stories of youthful mistakes to deep reflections on social media's role in pushing conformity, Rachael and Natalie explore why it's so natural—and yet so risky—for girls to follow the crowd without questioning. They unpack the cultural tension of our age, where fierce individualism paradoxically blends into relentless collectivism, especially on platforms like TikTok and Instagram.  Featuring a powerful Raising Godly Girls Minute with American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director Emeritus Patti Garibay on the dangers of groupthink culture, this episode equips you with practical, faith-centered tools to empower your daughter to “pump the brakes” in tough moments. Learn three key questions your girl can ask herself to stand strong in her faith and identity: Does this honor God? Does this honor others? Does this honor who God created me to be? These simple but profound questions help build spiritual discernment and courage to resist peer pressure.  You'll also discover how American Heritage Girls programs like the Big Sister-Little Sister and FREE to Grow Patch Programs, along with resources like Axis.org's Culture Translator, provide a safe and Spirit-filled environment for girls to grow in faith and wisdom, even amid cultural noise.  Scripture mentioned in this episode:  Colossians 3:12  1 Peter 4:8  Matthew 6:33  Tune in to hear how you can create intentional conversations with your daughter, pray with purpose, and raise her to be a confident Christ-follower who thoughtfully navigates the pressures of today's culture.  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.

Our guest today on the Rooted Parent Podcast is Evan Barber of Axis, a ministry that creates resources to "bridge the gap" between parents and teens. Axis creates content for parents that explains trends and fads in pop culture, along with issues of "mental health, relationships, social media, and spiritual formation." Cameron and Anna ask Evan to explain a little bit about what makes Gen Z different from past generations, and what parents can do to overcome some of the communication challenges between parents and children. Evan gives some practical advice, particularly about how to avoid shutting down the conversation when differing opinions arise. Best of all, Evan shares with us what aspects of the gospel will resonate most deeply with today's teenagers, and how parents can demonstrate living in the tension between the now and the not yet of God's kingdom.Resources: Axis.org: "Connecting Parents, Teens, and Jesus in a Disconnected World.for the Culture Translator newsletter, subscribe hereScripture: Matthew 6:5-14Handing Down the Faith: How Parents Pass Their Religion on to the Next Generation by Christian Smith3 Big Questions That Change Every Teenager: Making the Most of Your Conversations and Connections by Kara PowellFurther Resources on Rooted:Fear Factor in Parenting: Fear of the Culture with Collin HansenHow to Engage Culture with Your Students and Kids by Seth StewartWhat Youth Pastors Would Like to Tell Parents: The Culture is More Hostile Than You Think by Taylor MendozaUtilizing Youth Culture Series: Part One and Part Two by Mark HowardHow to Engage Culture with Your Kids - podcast with Seth Stewart

I'm so thankful I was able to raise my young children without social media telling me how horribly hard my job is and planting seeds of discontent. It's stunning how quickly the messaging has changed for parents, but it's even more unbelievable to think about what our children are being confronted with. Media, messaging, friends and others are reinforcing lies to our children, and as parents we get the incredible privilege to give them the tools to combat those with Biblical truths and to prepare them to stand in a world that's becoming increasingly hostile to things of the Lord.On today's podcast, we're going to be discussing the loneliness, isolation, and anxiety that so many girls are struggling with right now and how, as parents, you can encourage and help them overcome that. You don't want to miss a minute! Meet the Guest:For more than two decades, Patti Garibay has been at the forefront of countering the culture by leading girls and women to creating lives of integrity.
