In this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, hosts Rachael and Natalie tackle a challenging yet relatable topic: raising a Godly girl when you don’t feel like a Godly parent. With real talk and a faith-centered perspective, Rachael and Natalie explore the tension of what Scripture calls the "now and not yet." As Christian parents, the weight of not feeling adequate in our walk with God can make the journey of raising children daunting. But what if God doesn’t expect us to be perfect? What if the daily struggle of imperfection can lead us deeper into His grace?

We dive into parenting through faith while balancing our inadequacies, drawing from the message of Hebrews 10 and Philippians 1:6. The hosts also touch on the prevalent issue of comparison culture, especially with the pressure of social media that steals joy and contentment from both moms and their daughters. Through it all, we’re reminded of the importance of embracing God’s easy yoke as described in Matthew 11:28-30 and finding rest in His grace rather than our own perfectionism.

This episode also includes a Raising Godly Girls Minute from AHG Founder & Executive Director Patti Garibay, who shares her wisdom on healthy vs. unhealthy comparison and how it can fuel growth rather than insecurity. Rachael and Natalie reflect on how parents can lead by example through prayer, accountability, and the importance of drawing near to Godly community for strength.

If you’ve ever struggled with feeling like you’re “winging it” as a Christian parent, this episode is for you. It’s a raw and honest conversation that speaks to the heart of every parent raising daughters in today’s world.
