Raising Godly Girls - Ep. 246 — Called but Not Ready: Leading Your Kids in Faith When You Don’t Feel Qualified

Do you ever feel like you’re not qualified to lead your daughter spiritually? Maybe you didn’t grow up with strong faith role models, maybe you struggle to read Scripture consistently, or maybe you’re overwhelmed by the thought of answering your child’s deep questions about God. If so—you’re not alone. And this episode is for you. 

This week on the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Melissa Bearden offer real talk and reassuring truth for every mom who feels inadequate when it comes to spiritual leadership. Together, they tackle the lie that says “you’re not equipped” and replace it with God’s truth: if He called you to it, He will carry you through it. You don’t need to be a Bible scholar to disciple your daughter—you just need a willing heart and the faith to take the next step. 

Drawing from personal stories, Scripture, and relatable insight, Rachael and Melissa unpack how to lead your home in faith while learning and growing yourself. They remind listeners that spiritual formation isn’t a performance—it’s a relationship. And the best discipleship doesn’t happen in perfect devotionals, but in everyday moments of honesty, humility, and love. 

In this episode, you’ll be encouraged to: 

• Trust that God chose you on purpose to raise your daughter—and He doesn’t make mistakes 

• Embrace discipleship as a journey you walk with your child, not something you have to master beforehand 

• Find your voice as a spiritual leader by speaking truth out loud and modeling dependence on God 

• Build confidence through community, mentorship, and resources like AHG curriculum and the Raising Godly Girls Guide to Biblical Worldview
