Girls feel all kinds of pressure—pressure to get good grades, be the best on the team, be the loyal bff…they’re all good motivators, and with a healthy reliance on the Lord, they can help us discover our calling.  

But what about other kinds of pressures that lead our girls astray? Substance abuse, problematic relationships with peers, inappropriate texts, snaps, or photos—they’re all real pressures that our girls face on a daily basis, and they need to be addressed. 

The best defense against the dangerous temptations our girls face daily is affirming her identity in Christ. When she is rooted in Jesus, she is unwavering in the face of pressure. Affirm your girl’s Godly goodness—when she’s confident in who she is and Whose she is, peer pressure is no match.
