The Many Roles of the Modern Christian Mom
This Mother’s Day, the Raising Godly Girls Podcast is celebrating the heart, humor, and holy calling of motherhood. Join co-hosts Rachael and Natalie as they explore the countless roles a Christian mom takes on—from counselor to chauffeur, snack ninja to spiritual mentor—and the sacred mission embedded within each one. With honesty, wit, and a whole lot of grace, Rachael and Natalie share personal stories of heartbreak and joy on the road to motherhood, reminding listeners that no matter what season you’re in, God is using you in mighty ways.
Motherhood isn’t a one-size-fits-all journey, and this episode honors every kind of mom—biological, adoptive, foster, step, godmother, grandmother, and spiritual mentor. Whether you’re up to your elbows in toddler laundry, navigating the complexities of teens, or watching your daughter prepare to launch into adulthood, this episode reminds you that you are not alone and your work matters. Drawing from John 4:35 and 1 Thessalonians 4:11, our hosts highlight the eternal echoes of quiet faithfulness in the day-to-day grind.
You’ll also hear a powerful Raising Godly Girls Minute from American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director, Patti Garibay, encouraging moms to view their children not as interruptions but as the most important work. With deep conviction and refreshing vulnerability, Natalie opens up about the temptation to prioritize ministry over motherhood—and the Holy Spirit’s loving correction that brought her back to her first mission field: her children. Rachael offers wisdom from her own season of longing and loss, and both hosts uplift moms who are currently walking through the unseen and often thankless moments of Christian parenting.
Plus, discover how American Heritage Girls comes alongside moms in their calling. Whether through Troop life, badgework, or special events like a Mother-Daughter Tea, AHG equips and empowers moms to disciple their daughters with intentionality and joy.

This Mother’s Day week, we’re reminding every mom that she is not “just a mom”—she is a vessel of God’s strength, a nurturer of souls, and a faithful witness to His character. So whether you’re thriving, just surviving, or somewhere in between, take a moment to rest, reflect, and be reminded: God sees you, He strengthens you, and He’s using you in your girl’s life in ways you may never fully grasp.
