The next few years are ones of discovery for your girl. She’s on a journey into womanhood, and you are one of many guides on this path. There are other people in her sphere of influence (family members, friends, youth group, coach, teachers, and culture), but of all of these guides, you are the most influential.

This is a time in her life where her story converges with your story. This can be challenging. In this episode, Robrenna walks us through the story of Hagar in Genesis 16, and asks us these questions: where did you come from, and where are you going?

Our goal should be to help our girl understand who she is in Christ, and who God says she is according to His Word. As you walk this journey together, God intends you both to learn and grow together.
