What does it mean to be a woman today? Our culture has turned this into a debate, but for many young women—especially in Christian homes and schools—the real struggle comes in sorting through competing voices, conflicting priorities, and a lack of clear role models.

In this episode of BaseCamp Live, Davies sits down with his daughter, Hannah Owens, founder of The Swish Magazine. Drawing from her own classical Christian upbringing, Hannah shares how she came face-to-face with the confusion around womanhood in her Gen Z college years and why she’s now committed to recovering a vision of classical femininity—the preservation and reflection of truth, goodness, and beauty in womanhood.

Together they discuss:

• Why Gen Z women often prioritize career over marriage and family—and what that reveals about cultural messaging.
• The gap between “pioneer bonnets” and modern feminism—and why girls need something more rooted and hopeful in between.
• How role models, from Princess Catherine to contemporary Christian entrepreneurs, can embody duty, beauty, and service.
• Practical ways parents and schools can guide daughters toward confident, Christ-centered womanhood.

From family photo walls to auditing media habits, Hannah offers tangible steps to help reframe femininity not as performance, but as calling. This is a conversation for parents, educators, and young women alike who long to celebrate the true, good, and beautiful in a culture that has lost its way.

What role do the arts really play in a classical Christian education? For many of us, “art class” growing up felt like a filler - something fun, but hardly central to learning. Music, theater, and visual art were often seen as side activities, not essential to shaping minds and hearts. But as guest Jarrod Richey reminds us, that view couldn’t be further from the historic Christian tradition.

Jarrod - music teacher at Geneva Academy, author of Bach to the Future and editor of Raise the Song - makes the case that the creative arts are not extras but vital ways we reflect our Creator and form our children’s affections. He explains why hymn-singing, music literacy, and participatory art are as essential to discipleship as books and doctrine, helping students love what is true, good, and beautiful in tangible ways.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why the church historically led the way in the arts—and why we need to reclaim that vision today
• How hymns carry theology, unity, and gratitude across generations
• Why music literacy is a core skill, not an optional enrichment
• Practical ways families and schools can weave rich music and art into daily life

The arts aren’t just about self-expression - they are about imaging God and passing on the faith. Don’t miss this inspiring conversation about recovering beauty in education, worship, and the home.
