48. Empowering Preteen Girls: Identity, Friendship & Faithful Leadership with Amanda Mejias and Dr. Tiff Watson
What happens when you step into the world of a preteen girl, where friendships feel like everything, emotions run deep, and identity is being shaped moment by moment? In this episode, we dive into that world with Amanda Mejias and Dr. Tiff Watson, uncovering what today’s girls are really facing and how the Church can show up with clarity, compassion, and hope.
This conversation pulls back the curtain on the pressures preteen girls carry and why they need leaders who are both bold and empathetic. From navigating “mean girl” moments to cultivating community where every girl feels she belongs, Amanda brings practical wisdom and honest insights that every ministry leader needs.
We also tackle the tough stuff—body image, modesty, and self-expression—and explore how to guide preteens through these conversations with grace, truth, and a deep sense of safety. Whether you’re a seasoned leader or just stepping into girls ministry, this episode will equip and inspire you to champion the next generation with confidence.
