    Jun 28 2025
    In an age when screens are ever-present and digital distractions abound, parents are asking: How can I help my daughter grow in faith in a tech-saturated world? On this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, Rachael Culpepper, American Heritage Girls Executive Director, sits down with tech entrepreneur and Pray.com co-founder Matthew Potter to answer this important question. Together, they explore how families can embrace technology not as a threat to spiritual growth—but as a tool for meaningful discipleship. Matthew shares how his experience developing over 6,000 apps led to a calling to create Pray.com, the #1 app for daily prayer and Bible-based audio content. He speaks from both a spiritual and practical perspective, encouraging parents to reframe the role of technology in their homes. Instead of viewing screens only as obstacles, Matthew challenges listeners to consider how technology can become a bridge to daily prayer, Bible study, and spiritual conversations with our daughters. This episode offers wisdom for the modern Christian family—particularly for moms raising girls who are being formed not only by Scripture, but also by the screens they carry. From practical advice on curating faith-filled apps to tips for instilling intentionality in screen time, this conversation offers both hope and helpful tools. You’ll walk away encouraged to leverage today’s digital tools to reinforce a Biblical worldview and foster habits of faith that last into adulthood. Whether you’re a digital minimalist or an early tech adopter, you’ll find renewed vision for using technology to cultivate spiritual maturity in your home. Don’t miss this inspiring discussion about raising Godly girls in a digital age—where faith formation can flourish one tap at a time.

    Jun 26 2025
    In a world increasingly connected by technology, how can we raise daughters to use digital tools for the glory of God? In this insightful episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael and Natalie take listeners on a journey around the globe—without ever leaving home. This conversation explores how today’s Christian families can use faith-based technology to build global community, grow in discipleship, and fulfill the Great Commission. From international worship gatherings to app-based Bible studies and real-time prayer requests answered across continents, the hosts unpack the many ways girls can grow spiritually while connecting with the global Church. You’ll hear reflections on the redemptive use of Christian tech spaces—from Christian bookstores to online ministries—and how these platforms offer more than entertainment; they provide Kingdom-impacting opportunities for discipleship and service. Listeners are also treated to a Raising Godly Girls Minute with Patti Garibay, Founder and Executive Director Emeritus of American Heritage Girls, who reminds us that while technology can be a powerful aid in our spiritual development, it must remain a complement to real-life fellowship and face-to-face discipleship. Whether it’s providing clean water to a family in Haiti, learning how to pray for believers in Japan, or joining a virtual Bible study with friends across the globe, this episode equips parents with practical inspiration to help their girls use technology wisely—for worship, witness, and world-impacting love. If you're a mom raising a girl in a digital age, you won't want to miss this episode filled with Scripture, insight, and the hopeful reminder that God is at work across the world—and in your home.

    Ep. 233 — Leveraging Technology to Grow Your Girl’s Faith
    Jun 24 2025
    In a world where screens dominate and attention spans shrink, how can parents harness the power of technology for their daughter’s spiritual growth instead of against it? On this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael and Natalie explore how today’s tech tools—apps, online Bible studies, video resources, and more—can be transformed into powerful platforms for discipleship, Scripture engagement, and faith formation. Rather than fearing the digital world, this episode encourages parents to bring it under Christ’s lordship—intentionally guiding their girls to engage with technology in a way that builds holy habits, strengthens Biblical worldview, and reinforces godly identity. From RightNow Media and YouVersion to community-based virtual studies and screen-based Scripture reading, Rachael and Natalie share both personal examples and practical wisdom on integrating technology into the rhythm of everyday faith. You’ll hear surprising stats about Gen Z’s hunger for spiritual content online, reflections on the long history of technology as a vessel for God’s Word (think: the Gutenberg Bible!), and a heartfelt call to disciple with discernment—not detachment. This episode equips you with thoughtful strategies: from setting boundaries to maintaining presence and connection as your girl explores digital tools to grow in faith. Technology is not the enemy—it’s a tool. And when stewarded well, it can be a vibrant part of your daughter’s walk with God. So grab your earbuds, press play, and discover how to nurture your girl’s spiritual development in a tech-saturated world.
