Episode Details

In a culture saturated with self-promotion, curated perfection, and constant affirmation-seeking, today's girls are told to chase confidence, success, and identity through worldly means. But what happens when those shifting standards leave them feeling empty, rather than empowered? On this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, special weekend host Rachael Culpepper sits down with Larry Stephens of I Am Second to explore how fathers can help their daughters reject the "me first" messages of culture and embrace a Christ-centered identity that endures. 

Larry brings a wealth of experience from his work in media, sports, and entertainment—industries that deeply shape how girls view themselves. From his global outreach with the Jesus Animation Film Project to his innovative ministry in college gaming spaces, Larry offers a unique perspective on what it takes to connect with the next generation in meaningful, transformative ways. In this heartfelt conversation, he shares how dads can be the steady, truth-speaking voices their daughters desperately need. 

Whether your daughter is struggling with self-worth, identity, or the social media pressure to be "enough," this episode is packed with practical encouragement. Larry and Rachael dive into real-world strategies for discipleship within the home, how to speak life over your daughter, and what it means to truly put Christ first as a family. Fathers may feel unequipped or like they've missed the moment—but Larry reminds us it's never too late to begin the work of intentional, faith-driven parenting.
