Our mission at True Girl is to help moms and daughters grow closer to each other and closer to Jesus. Since starting a Bible study for her tween daughter and her friends in 2005, Dannah Gresh has written over 25 books that help support you in raising your tween girl! We also offer free resources through our blog, social media pages, and brand-new podcast series.

We’re so glad you asked! After 14 years, we finally have something for your boys! The Born to Be Brave Tour is our all-new event for fathers and sons. It’s a night of true Biblical man-stuff designed to bring your guys closer to Jesus and closer to each other. We also have resources for you to use at home including It’s Great to be a Guy, a devotional for tween boys and Six Ways to Keep the Good in Your Boy, a parenting guide for raising tween boys. You can also check out Bob Gresh’s book on sexual integrity for teen guys, Who Moved the Goalpost?

We’re primarily a mother-daughter ministry, but also believe that anyone building into a tween girl’s life is going to make a lasting impact! While much of our content is geared toward one-on-one conversation, we love any opportunity to encourage tween hearts. So if you want to come to an event or work through Lies Girls Believe as a group, we salute you!

The modern fashion industry is marketing more mature clothing to younger and younger audiences. According to a task force report by the American Psychological Association, this hyper-sexualization increases the risk of eating disorders, depression and body image issues in girls. Additionally, The Medical Institute for Sexual Health has determined that girls (and boys) who “look older than they are” are at risk of an earlier sexual debut. It is clear that the thong underwear and padded push-up bras advertised to tweens are not helping them to understand their beauty and value. True Girl encourages girls to dress in ways that are age-appropriate in an effort to protect their hearts and prepare them for the pressures of their teen years. Modesty is not about covering up our bodies, but revealing our dignity. We believe that it’s entirely possible to be both modest and super stylish at the same time!

True Girl is a ministry of Pure Freedom, a not-for-profit ministry that also includes Born To Be Brave, and Grace Prep. Our statement of beliefs is very simple. Here it is:

Summary of Doctrinal Beliefs

GOD

There is one God, who is infinitely perfect, existing eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

JESUS CHRIST

Jesus Christ is true God and true man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He died upon the cross as a substitutional sacrifice for all who believe in Him who can be justified on the ground of His shed blood. He arose from the dead and is now at the right hand of God. He will come again to establish His Kingdom of righteousness and peace.

THE HOLY SPIRIT

The Holy Spirit is a divine person sent to indwell, guide, teach and empower the believer, and to convince the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment.

THE WORD OF GOD

The Old and New Testaments, inerrant as originally given, were verbally inspired by God and are a complete revelation of his will for the salvation of men.

MAN’S SALVATION

Man was originally created in the image and likeness of God. He fell through disobedience incurring both physical and spiritual death. All men are born sinful and are separated from God and can be saved only through the Blood of Jesus Christ.
