  • Ep. 140 — Encouraging Your Girl's Spiritual Growth Beyond Temperament Limits
    Nov 14 2024
    As parents, we may find ourselves observing our daughter’s unique personality and noticing how she connects with God in distinct ways. Some girls feel closer to God when they are out in nature, while others prefer the quiet solitude of reflection or the excitement of worship in community. This episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast dives into the concept of spiritual temperaments and how they can help us foster our daughters’ spiritual growth. Co-hosts Rachael and Melissa introduce the nine spiritual temperaments, explaining how these tendencies reveal our natural connections with God. They discuss how this self-discovery can be a powerful tool for helping our girls thrive spiritually. However, they also caution against using temperaments as an excuse to limit growth. As Rachael and Melissa reflect on a special Raising Godly Girls Minute with Patti Garibay, they explore the importance of stepping outside comfort zones in faith and avoiding the “I only…” mentality that can hinder spiritual development. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 12, which speaks to the diversity of the body of Christ, Rachael and Melissa remind listeners that spiritual growth often requires discomfort—whether it's engaging in different forms of worship or stepping into new acts of service. Through practical tips, they encourage parents to guide their daughters in expanding their spiritual practices beyond personal preferences, helping them grow in resilience and obedience to God’s calling. Join us for this encouraging conversation as we explore how to nurture our daughters’ spiritual lives by embracing both their natural tendencies and the challenges that come with stretching beyond them. Tune in, pray, and be inspired to lead your girl into a deeper relationship with Christ—one that goes beyond the limits of temperament.

  • Ep. 139 — Discovering God’s Pathways: Nurturing Spiritual Gifts in Every Girl
    Nov 12 2024
    In this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael and Melissa explore into the fascinating concept of Spiritual Temperaments and how understanding these unique pathways can help guide girls toward a deeper, more authentic relationship with God. Just as personality quizzes can help reveal insights about ourselves, exploring a girl's spiritual temperament can unlock new ways for her to connect with her Creator. Spiritual temperaments range from naturalists, who find God in the beauty of creation, to activists, who experience God through service and justice. By identifying and nurturing these temperaments, you can help your daughter personalize her spiritual journey, strengthening her faith in ways that resonate with her unique design. AHG Founder Patti Garibay introduced this idea in a Raising Godly Girls Minute, and in today’s episode, we expand on this teaching. You'll hear practical advice for helping your daughter discover her spiritual temperament and apply it to her faith life, creating moments that draw her closer to God. Whether your daughter is a contemplative who thrives in quiet reflection or an enthusiast who finds joy in active worship, understanding how she best connects with God can open doors to deeper spiritual growth. Join us for an enriching conversation about how we can guide our girls to flourish in their walk with Christ.
