In this episode of Courageous Girls, we step back into a deeply important conversation that continues beyond the mic—one that sits at the intersection of faith, sexuality, boundaries, and grace. After our time with Dr. Nancy, we felt led to clarify the heart behind Courageous Girls and address the tension many moms feel between purity culture and its pendulum swing. We share why our goal has never been to create “perfect” girls or prevent every hard thing, but to raise daughters who know they have voice, choice, and a safe place to come back when life gets complicated. This is a trauma-informed, grace-filled invitation to discipleship that honors our girls as whole beings—mind, body, heart, and soul—and helps them practice saying no, setting boundaries, and walking with God in freedom rather than shame. Together, we explore how healing happens in safe community, why grace is not the absence of wisdom, and how slow, steady discipleship shapes resilient daughters and courageous moms.

Key Takeaways:

🔹Why Courageous Girls is not rooted in purity culture or permissiveness, but in grace, wisdom, and freedom

🔹How teaching girls to say no builds safety, agency, and resilience at every age

🔹The power of confession, community, and safe relationships in healing shame and trauma

🔹Why discipleship is a slow, relational process—and how moms are invited into their own growth too
