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 Worldview. 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 Truth, 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.

Three Things to Remember:

Don't dismiss your girl's concerns. Climate conversations are real to her—meet them with understanding and truth.

Balance perspective with history and Scripture. A Biblical worldview brings peace and clarity in the face of cultural alarm.

Teach stewardship without fear. Your girl can care for God's creation with confidence, knowing He is ultimately in control.
