“Mom, it’s not the 1900s anymore.” If you’ve ever heard a variation of this phrase from your daughter, you’re not alone. While each generation brings its own slang, styles, and standards, the gap between “then” and “now” can either divide us—or become fertile ground for discipleship. In this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Natalie Ambrose lean into the tension many families feel across generations, offering insight, laughter, and wisdom to help you connect more deeply with your daughter.
This conversation is part of our special week on Multi-Generational Ministry, and today’s episode explores how parents can resist the pull of presentism—the assumption that today’s ideas are inherently better—and instead practice humility, curiosity, and Christlike love across generational lines. You’ll hear stories about misunderstood YouTube trends and lively car conversations that became spiritual breakthroughs, plus practical tools for navigating those head-to-head moments with grace instead of frustration.
You’ll also hear a thought-provoking Raising Godly Girls Minute from American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director
