Ep. 364 – It's Not Only Up to Your Girl to Save the Planet

In a culture where climate concerns are  rising— especially among the next  generation— how can  parents  guide their girls to respond with truth instead of fear?  

In this episode of the  Raising Godly Girls Podcast , Rachael  Culpepper  and Melissa Bearden step into  a timely  and often emotionally charged conversation: climate change, cultural messaging, and what it means to raise a girl with a confident, Biblical  W orldview. With research showing that many Gen Z girls feel deep concern about the future of the planet, this episode equips parents to meet those concerns with compassion, clarity, and Christ-centered truth.  

Rather than dismissing the conversation—or being swept up in alarm—Rachael and Melissa encourage families to reframe the narrative. Yes, creation matters. Yes, stewardship is important. But no, your girl is not responsible for "saving the planet." That role belongs to God alone.  

In this week's  Raising Godly Girls Minute , Patti Garibay offers wisdom for girls who may feel labeled or misunderstood in today's culture. With grace and confidence, she reminds listeners that embracing science and trusting Scripture are not at odds—and that God  remains  sovereign over every detail of His creation.  

You'll  also hear practical guidance for navigating these conversations at home: acknowledging your girl's concerns, zooming out to see both historical patterns and Biblical  T ruth, and helping her engage in meaningful, peace-filled stewardship. Because when girls understand that the Earth belongs to the Lord, they can trade anxiety for assurance—and step into their role as faithful caretakers with joy.  

This episode is an invitation to raise girls who are grounded, thoughtful, and unshaken—ready to care for God's creation without carrying the weight of fear.
