In this episode of the Marriage After God podcast, Aaron Smith sits down with Bethany Beal, co-founder of Girl Defined, to talk about her journey from the modeling world to biblical ministry. Together, they unpack what it means to embrace womanhood in today’s culture, the vital role of family, and the impact of social media on identity.

Bethany shares powerful insights from her new book Made to Be She, encouraging women to reclaim their worth, set healthy boundaries, and return to God’s design for family, motherhood, and womanhood.

Key Takeaways:

• Bethany’s modeling background gave her a deeper understanding of true worth and identity.
• Social media has reshaped how women perceive themselves—parents must stay aware and engaged.
• Fathers play a crucial role in shaping a daughter’s confidence and identity.
• The cultural shift encouraging women to leave the home has altered family dynamics.
• Home-cooked meals and intentional motherhood reflect a deeper, often lost, tradition.
• Birth control has changed the way society and even the church view family and children.
• Children are a blessing—our heart posture toward them reveals our theology.
• Made to Be She is a call for women to embrace biblical womanhood and the high calling of motherhood.

This episode is a powerful reminder to stand firm in God’s truth and raise the next generation to do the same.
