  What does it really mean to raise a girl in today’s world—and how do you point her toward truth when culture is constantly pulling the other direction?In this episode of the Be Bold For Jesus Podcast, we sit down with Patti Garibay, founder of American Heritage Girls, to talk about identity, purpose, and what it looks like to raise the next generation of young women rooted in Christ. Patti shares her powerful testimony—from searching for truth to encountering Jesus in a life-changing way—and how that led her to step out in faith and start a movement that’s now impacting girls across the country.We dive into the heart behind American Heritage Girls, the difference between what culture says about girlhood versus what Scripture says, and why it’s more important than ever for young women to know who they are in Christ. Patti also shares practical encouragement for parents navigating hard conversations, the importance of discipleship at home, and why community plays such a key role in shaping strong, confident, faith-filled girls.This conversation is real, encouraging, and full of wisdom for anyone who cares about raising up the next generation with truth, clarity, and purpose.✝️ Be Bold For Jesus Conference ✝️https://bebold4jesus.org/spokane/✌️ Stay Connected with Be Bold For Jesus ✌️https://bebold4jesus.orgInstagram: @bebold4jesusministries🇺🇸 Learn More About American Heritage Girls 🇺🇸https://americanheritagegirls.orgYT: ‪@AHGchannel‬ Instagram: @AHGfunPodcast: Raising Godly Girls 🏠 Sponsors 🏠https://cogocapital.comhttps://thesaviorbrand.com/?ref=bb4jhttps://patriotmobile.com/bb4j🎥 Chapters 🎥(0:00) IntroductionMeet Patti Garibay and the vision behind American Heritage Girls(0:31) Patti’s StoryHer journey to faith and encountering Jesus personally(2:47) A Turning PointA life-changing moment that led to fully following God(4:15) The Birth of American Heritage GirlsHow a cultural shift led Patti to start something new(6:15) Taking a StandChoosing to act instead of staying silent(7:43) From Small Start to National MovementWhat began with one group grew far beyond expectations(8:16) What Is Girlhood?How the Bible defines identity and purpose for women(9:31) A Biblical View of WomenStrength, dignity, and purpose in Scripture(11:00) Jesus and WomenHow Christ elevated and valued women(13:30) Culture vs. ScriptureHow the world’s message conflicts with God’s design(14:36) The Identity CrisisWhy so many girls today feel confused, anxious, and alone(15:04) What Girls Actually NeedA picture of joy, purpose, and confidence in Christ(16:23) What It Means to Be a GirlUnderstanding identity through God’s Word(17:34) Image Bearers of GodFinding worth and purpose in Christ(18:01) Breaking Cultural BoxesWhy you don’t need to fit into labels or expectations(21:14) Where to Start in the BibleKey passages that define biblical womanhood(24:03) Growing in FaithThe importance of prayer, Scripture, and community(25:00) Owning Your FaithWhy girls need a personal relationship with God(27:03) Building Strong FoundationsHelping young women stand firm in their beliefs(27:55) Parenting in Today’s CultureHow to guide your daughter through difficult topics(28:57) Get InvolvedWhy parents should lead alongside their kids(30:03) Raising Godly GirlsResources for parents navigating tough conversations(33:00) The Battle for the Next GenerationHow culture is reaching kids earlier than ever(34:25) From Childhood to ConfidenceWatching girls grow into strong young women(35:39) Anxiety in Young GirlsThe rising struggles facing today’s generation(36:05) The Need for CommunityWhy relationships matter more than ever(37:06) The Role of ParentsLeading with humility, wisdom, and intentionality(40:21) What’s Next for American Heritage GirlsNew opportunities and continued mission(41:16) Trusting God’s CallingStepping into what God has for your life(42:15) Be Bold in Your FaithEncouragement to step out and follow God(44:20) Closing ThoughtsFinal encouragement and vision for the future
• Path of Life, Sheri Olsen, Executive Director and Co-Founder | What do I do about these feelings? 12.06.2026 47p

  What does it look like to walk out a journey of deep, gospel-centered healing and redemption? In this episode of the Be Bold For Jesus Podcast, we’re sitting down with Sherry Olson, the executive director and co-founder of Path of Life in Spokane, Washington. Sherry opens up and shares her powerful personal testimony—from her early career in the legal field to surrendering her heart to the Lord after carrying years of silent grief from past abortions. Out of her own restoration story, God birthed a beautiful calling to walk alongside others through post-abortion recovery. We dive deep into the unique, discipleship-focused mission of Path of Life, exploring how they navigate complex, real-world struggles like unwanted same-sex attraction and gender identity issues. Sherry shares why they completely reject "cookie-cutter" formulas, focusing instead on long-haul sanctification, face-to-face relationship building, and equipping parents to love and support their struggling children well. This conversation is a beautiful, encouraging reminder that true biblical community is about tackling the hardest topics together with transparency, grace, and an unwavering commitment to Christ.✝️ Be Bold For Jesus Conference 2026 ✝️https://bebold4jesus.org/spokane/✌️ Stay Connected with Be Bold For Jesus ✌️https://bebold4jesus.orgInstagram: @bebold4jesusministries💡 Learn More & Support Path of Life 💡https://pathoflifespokane.orgInstagram: @pathoflifespokane🏠 Our Sponsors 🏠https://cogocapital.comhttps://securedinvestmentcorp.comhttps://patriotmobile.com/bb4jhttps://aphbuyshomes.com🎥 Chapters 🎥(0:00) Introduction – Meet Sherry Olson and the new Spokane Valley facility(1:14) From Commercial Law to Ministry – Sherry’s background and testimony(2:18) Finding True Healing – Moving past the silent grief of abortion(3:00) Developing a Grief Model – How the Path of Life resource was born(4:26) The Launch of Path of Life – Psalm 16:11 and the heart of the ministry(5:12) Four Core Areas of Service – Relationship resources and pregnancy services(6:29) Navigating Culture and the Church – A look at unwanted same-sex attraction(7:32) The Approach of Sanctification – Discipleship involving the whole person(9:46) Meeting People Where They Are – Moving beyond a "cookie-cutter" approach(11:16) Dennis Stratton’s Story – The profound impact of walking together(12:48) God Going Before Us – Launching online Zoom ministry before COVID(15:38) The Panicking Parent – Why we can't just "fix" someone(16:20) Parent Support Groups – Learning how to love and relate to your child(18:13) Partnering Across the Country – Leading online parenting cohorts(18:56) The Importance of Desire – Letting the client set the goal(19:42) Getting to the Root – Unpacking trauma and family systems(21:03) Moving Beyond the Quick Fix – Commitment to long-haul discipleship(23:06) Genesis 3 and the Blame Game – Taking issues to the Lord(24:09) Biblical Community & Family – Vulnerability and growing together

• Interview with Darin Patzer of Shine 104.9 24.01.2024 32p

  Listen to the Be Bold for Jesus Podcast to be encouraged, inspired and empowered to go out and share your faith with others. Today we are hearing from Darin Patzer of Shine 104.9.Darin Patzer:I like the idea of “being a disciple of Christ…cleverly disguised as a radio station manager.”One of my Favorite Bible texts is: Proverbs 3:5,6. I’ve seen in my own life how if I trust in the Lord with all my heart, and lean not on my own understanding, and in all my ways acknowledge Him…that He will direct my paths. I’ve seen how God has guided and blessed me and my family as we seek first the Kingdom of God. We try to seek God and spend some time with Him each morning, and then to try to recognize His presence with us throughout each day. What if a day is wasted if we have not spent some time seeking God?With a couple of brief exceptions, I have lived nearly my entire life here in the Pacific NW, and consider Spokane my homeland, and my “mission field.” My goal is that Spokane be a Lighthouse to the rest of the country and to the world, for Jesus Christ!I have been married to my best friend Natalie, since 1998 and we have a 20-something girl, a late-teen boy, a Cavapoo dog (Poco), occasionally some chickens and still one cat, last I checked.I’m a sports and fitness enthusiast, and I enjoy hiking out around Spokane, like to Big Rock (which is also near where our Shine 104.9 tower is located). Summer is a favorite time of year as I enjoy golf, tennis/pickleball, softball, water sports, hiking, biking country roads. We enjoy the lovely seasons of the PNW.Having experienced the loss of a much loved family member, and dear friends, I live in eager anticipation for the “second coming” of Jesus on resurrection morning. I am merely a traveler, this world is not my home. I know I am a broken sinner, but by grace I hope my life will give as many others as possible a happier picture of God our Father and his Son Jesus Christ - so they will want to join us in relationship in heaven, too!I love to hear from listeners. Please send me an email at: manager@shine1049.org.

The stigma and shame associated with being "afraid" has caused many people to reject the notion that they even deal with these expectations. He defines fear as "the expectation of a negative outcome" which is a condition experienced by everyone with a fully functioning nervous system. J.R. helps clients identify core beliefs which are maladaptive and contrary to scripture. Once those expectations are acknowledged the tools provided allow everyone to create new narratives in order to rewire their limbic system for higher functioning. His ministry has extended to Eastern Europe having spent many months living abroad with his family supporting the efforts to end human trafficking and see survivors rehabilitated.JR@fearproof.mehttp://www.fearproof.me
