Ep. 353 – Raising Girls Who Rejoice: Walking Holy Week Toward Easter with Phylicia Masonheimer

As families prepare to celebrate Easter, many parents wonder how to help their daughters  truly understand  and rejoice in the Gospel story—not just on Resurrection Sunday, but throughout Holy Week. In this special Raising Godly Girls episode, host Natalie Ambrose is joined by theologian, author,  podcaster,  and founder of  Every Woman a Theologian , Phylicia Masonheimer, for a rich conversation on walking families toward the joy of Easter with intention and faith.  

 

Airing on the Saturday before Easter, this episode meets families in the space between the cross and the empty tomb. Phylicia shares why Holy Week matters  for  girls of all ages and offers practical, age-appropriate ways families can  observe  Palm Sunday through Resurrection Sunday together. From Scripture reading and prayer to simple worship practices and Gospel-centered conversations, parents will gain tools to make Easter more than a one-day celebration.  

 

Together, Natalie and Phylicia explore how theology can be accessible for children, how parents can guide meaningful conversations about Jesus' death and resurrection, and how the hope of Easter can shape a girl's faith long after the holiday ends. This episode encourages families to prepare their hearts so that Easter joy overflows from a deep understanding of the Gospel.  

 

Whether you have young children or teenagers, this conversation will help you anchor your family's Easter celebration in Christ's victory and raise girls who live in the hope of the resurrection all year long.
