Modesty | Costi Hinn & Brianna Harris

[@miskagonzalez]

We need one of these for the men too!!

[@MrsMemster]

I'm so glad to see this topic addressed because it's a BIG problem.

[@lizpetruzzi7700]

This was so good! Yes! You can be covered and still be provocative and to not care about the effect my presentation has on others is selfish and prideful. Also dressing modest is not causing others to covet. It’s to look your best without calling undo attention to yourself. Best interview on modesty I’ve heard.

[@canatutuuuuuu]

The way bermuda shorts and new balance is actually a really cool combo for fashion girlies in 2024 and 2025 hahaha love this! Cool dad look

[@bwilson_9993]

This is a VERY much needed conversation today! Thanks for the video!

[@worldunfolds]

Bri’s the best. Thankful for her and this ministry

[@thejourney1369]

I grew up in a peace church and the standard of modesty was the same for all women, dresses with sleeves, no shorts, no jeans.

[@francoisvisser2563]

Thank you for the insightful conversation. It is always a blessing to listen. Could you do one that covers how a man can apply modesty? I have been pondering on how I might consider this in my own life. 😀

[@reginahgathu8314]

Bri should definitely start a channel we will definitely be fans❤🎉

[@Steppingheavnward]

Yes!!

[@annnabananaaa]

Thank you so much for this video! Much needed video for this generation. @PB

Glad to hear a godly understanding and stance here. I do have an analogy to propose that I think clarifies the issue of modesty (specifically sensuality). Consider how we treat diabetics and/or recovered alcoholics. We know how to be rightly considerate to these people, consideration (love) demands that you do not eat the favorite sweet of diabetic friend in front of them, and neither do you drink in front of a struggling alcoholic. Anyone who knowingly does so and tempts someone is universally seen as doing wrong. Anyone who stumbles into it in ignorance is still somewhat expected to apologize and then avoid doing it in the future. Willful ignorance is not an accepted excuse. The nuances for sensuality/modesty are identical, but consequences are so much greater... They are eternal. Sexual sin quenches the spirit, leaves men (and women) in bondage, and usurps and destroys the God given motivations that drive us to mature and fulfill our roles properly. For women who think it's not that big a deal, it certainly is to any man who sincerely desires to please God. Personally it has left me in periods despair. Outside of God's direct help... There is no escape, not in the fellowship that I am not to forsake (there few churches that are reasonably safe), and not in solitude because I am a social creature created for relationships that also must work, and while I have begun to find freedom in running to God ... I know that the temptation will always be there one click away or one glance just a few feet over (similar to the temptation to rubberneck at emergency vehicles next to the highway... Except it's inescapable).

The diabetic example really isn’t a good one. My sister is diabetic, and will make sweets that she can’t have. But most all diabetics can have limited sweets as long as they account for them in their insulin usage. I’ve learned a lot from my sister who has been diabetic for almost 45 years.

[@NathanObholz]

Your right, it's not as universal example as I would like. However, the point I was making still stands. We naturally understand the nuances of not tempting people to their own detriment in many different ways with food and alcohol simply being the most obvious examples. Examples that don't have the nearly the same moral baggage that our sinful nature brings into the topic of sexual modesty.

Please talk in the next episode about dressing in a way your husband likes while still being modest. My husband thinks tighter things and loud eye catching makeup are attractive but I want to be modest and honor the Lord as well as him. I have been convicted about this and maybe swung a little too far into the opposite end of the spectrum (almost no makeup, and very loose clothing) I'm really not sure what to do

[@timothydeary6748]

Your being legalistic yes you have swung too far in the extreme

[@damilolaa.3752]

Perhaps you could revisit the conversation with your husband and reach a compromise. Pray, study the Bible and do some research beforehand. May the Lord give you wisdom. Kindly ignore the person accusing you on being legalistic.

[@zach0-3]

@@timothydeary6748 Not sure you’re defining legalism well here… seeking to honor the Lord, that bought you with a price, in action is not legalism. That can very well be just faithful discipleship. Creating extrabiblical standards, for others or yourself, to determine who is a Cristian and who not, is the legalism we are called to avoid.

[@zach0-3]

Ideally you would seek wisdom from your local pastor or leadership in your church. Seek out a honest and gracious with your husband. Let him know your convictions plainly. I’m sure he won’t want you to do things that can’t be done in faith, making it sin for you. (Romans 14:23) dressing up for him in more private settings may be an option? Obviously you’d want to pray for guidance on all of this and before any conversations you enter into for spiritual discernment.

My wife and I have been going to counseling for 2 years over pretty much the same issue. She disobeys me by saying that she must obey God first. We disagree what modesty means. She totally covers as that's her definition of modesty. I want to lead our family in the standard that I believe is right and I expect my wife to support me but wow is it a problem. Our belief of modesty and headship is totally different. My view is that all the good and bad my wife does is under my responsibility and I get rewarded or punished for it. Just as any good or bad I do is under Jesus's headship, and he died for all my bad. I'm not perfect like Jesus though but my wife is entirely under my grace. But to disobey a husband because a wife thinks she's right ends up turning into a vashti/Esther situation. My wife has felt like vashti. So now I just let her wear what she wants because she hates to do what I like so much that I have to accept her regardless. But if only my wife pleased her husband as unto the Lord instead of thinking she's doing wrong to God when she believes I'm leading her to wear a mistake, that I think is a good thing, and a thing for her honor to wear. God help you both. Be praying for you.

[@haruhianderson4019]

Men need to address *MALE* modesty. Pastors and other Christian men are walking around shirtless, wearing muscle shirts, sweatpants, no underwear, short shorts etc. Men are not exempt!

[@bennettRrebecca]

"That is so good." 12:21

[@bennettRrebecca]

The point on attention and intention is soo good too because in the context of 1 Timothy 2, the braided hair and jewellery were so distracting and attention-grabbing because they were excessive and noisy. And in the gathering of the saints, this would be distracting to the congregation as they meet to worship.

[@bonnieclyne5618]

Excellent video, thank you! Blessings and greetings from central Florida.

[@vanessap7209]

Great topic! Before I walked with the Lord, after He saved me, I ALWAYS hated leggings. I only wear them indoors with my husband when cleaning or such. If I wear them outdoors it’s because they’re under a skirt, jeans, etc.

[@Sportyspice7]

Just out the gate: why is this being made once again only a women’s issue? This is a PEOPLE issue. Men and women. What do you think about men with their shirts off in Arizona? Wearing tight shorts? Women lust after men too. There is a huge double standard and that’s why I refuse to engage in these types of conversation anymore.

[@Bearthowlemew]

Because it's much more prevalent with women. Don't let your bitterness keep you from obeying God's Word. My husband for example doesn't wear tank tops anymore, and I don't wear leggings outside of the house anymore. 🤷🏻‍♀️ when people talk about modesty I don't get angry or defensive. I let God's truth and commands convict me where it's needed.

[@Sportyspice7]

@ it’s not about being defensive or “bitter”- it’s about highlighting the blatant hypocrisy and double standard in regards to men. People (men) need to start looking in the mirror and being honest with themselves instead of pointing the finger constantly. And this applies to some women too

[@Bearthowlemew]

@Sportyspice7 respectfully, you sound like you have been heavily influenced by feminism in your thinking. Everyone is accountable for their sin before God. If your excuse for your immodesty is that "well men are immodest too", that's not going to fly. God's ways are better! He has these commands to protect you. I highly recommend reading Created To Be His Helpmeet by Debi Pearl and reading TheTransformedWife's blog.

​@@Bearthowlemew I do not believe it is at all more prevalent with women. I feel like it is even more so with men nowadays
