Episode 115. Raising Gender Healthy Girls

Our culture is heavily evangelistic in shaping our child’s worldview identity, which is why we Christian parents are called to speak up! In this first episode of a two-part series, Amy interviews Ricky Chelette of Living Hope Ministries on how to raise gender healthy boys.

In Raising Gender Healthy Girls, Ricky graciously addressed the girly-girls and the tomboys of the group. He debunks the cultural stereotype that parents are helpless on-lookers when girls get emotional, but instead offers tangible ways both mom and dad are to nurture their growing daughter to help her be secure in her womanly identity. Funny, accessible, and filled with practical steps, listeners will be empowered to know their daughter better and raise her up to the glory of God.
