Ep. 302 — Helping Your Girl Develop a Regular Bible Study Rhythm in the New Year

When the Christmas season eventually winds down and the New Year comes into view, many moms begin thinking about fresh starts, renewed rhythms, and the kind of spiritual habits they want to cultivate in their homes. In this week's episode, Rachael Culpepper and Natalie Ambrose invite you to breathe deeply, slow your pace, and look ahead with intention—specifically toward your daughter's 2026 Bible study habits. While resolutions and "one word" themes often take center stage this time of year, Rachael and Natalie shift the conversation toward something far more enduring: a girl's long-term relationship with the Word of God. Together, they explore the beauty of Biblical literacy, the faithfulness of God that anchors every study session, and the simple ways moms can help their daughters develop a steady, grace-filled approach to Scripture. You'll hear thoughtful insight around cultivating consistency, navigating seasons of dryness, and creating an emotional climate where girls feel safe to learn, ask questions, and grow. From practical tools like the O.I.A. study method to heart-level reminders that God delights in every step of your daughter's spiritual development, this episode is full of encouragement for moms who want to champion their girl's faith in the coming year. Rachael and Natalie also share how the American Heritage Girls ministry equips girls to engage with Scripture deeply and confidently through the R.E.A.L. Life Bible Study method. Whether your daughter is a candle-lit-journal devotee or a messy-bun-coffee-shop learner, this conversation will help you nurture a rhythm of Bible study that fits her personality, honors her season of life, and strengthens her walk with the Lord. As you prepare for a new year, we pray this episode helps you refocus, breathe, and step forward with hope—knowing that God is faithful, His Word is true, and He delights in growing your girl's heart one day at a time.
