As moms, we have the sacred responsibility to help our daughters grow in their faith—and that includes teaching them how to share it with others. But that can cause fear, especially in our post-Christian culture. But the Great Commission isn't just for adults; it's for everyone who knows and loves Jesus. Of course, before our girls can share the hope of the gospel, we need to take time to check their spiritual pulse. Does your daughter have a personal relationship with the Lord? We'll revisit a conversation we had a few weeks ago on the podcast PLUS how to give her courage to share her faith on this episode of the True Girl MomCast.Get tickets to the True Girl Pop Up PartyGet the True Girl Subscription BoxunRemarkable by Revive Our Hearts

Send us a textSo many powerful lessons in these verses! Bryan brings out the lessons we can learn from Daniel and his friends choosing to set themselves apart through their food. By looking beyond the surface of these verses, we can start to see the resolve of Daniel and his friends when they encounter the fiery furnace and the lions' den. They didn't wake up one day and decide to take on the king and his laws, they started in small ways early in their lives. Bryan VanHaitsma is the digital media director for Revive Our Hearts.
