Why I Started Being Modest. Four Women’s Testimonies.

[Egh]

When you finally realize as a woman that men don’t deserve to see your body except for the one you love and who loves you, the whole perspective of modesty becomes different.

Modesty does not mean a person has to wear black brown and grey all the time. Thank God I'm from India. We love and rejoice in the colours God has created. One can still wear modest clothes and be attractively dressed. One has to maintain a balance between the two. Never go to the extremes of both ends. Keep a balance and one will be fine.

As a Muslim I feel happy for Christian women who wear modest clothes. You are blessed, may the Lord God bless you and your families.

Excellent video! This should go viral. As a youngish woman who could never walk to the shop without make up, dressed immodestly and was conformed to the world in all ways, I have found true freedom in Christ by choosing to embrace that I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Dressing modestly and chucking make up and all adornment has set me free from the bondage. Thank you, lovely ladies for sharing this teaching. God bless you.

I've been headcovering and wearing skirts for 6 months & my life has been RADICALLY transformed. I've been so encouraged in regards to how getting vanity out of the way of God's will in my life has allowed my heart to become more conformed to Christ. And in these 6 months I've noticed many other women in my area following suit. Almost every time I go out now, I see another modest woman! How encouraging <3 God is so good & I hope to continue to see other sisters choosing modesty so that my community may blossom with women full of God's purpose. Thank you all for having this amazing Q&A panel & to the sisters for sharing their story. May you all be continually blessed. Hope to see more of this content!

This is an invaluable video! There is NOTHING like this on youtube. I was SO happy when it popped up! Please make more videos with the women in your church. I'm over here trying to figure it all out. I'd also love to hear more women in the church on the topic of modesty and also these women's testimonies on how they came to know the Lord.

This was very affirming to watch! Sometimes it feels very lonely to live this way. I’ve been headcovering and wearing skirts for 4 years. No one else I know does this. I long for a community of like minded sisters

As a father of girls and a youth mentor, I'll say this video is a gem. I was touched by the deep convictions that were communicated here. Thanks for making and sharing this production.

Now that I watch this, it has confirmed things I believe God has been asking me to change for a long time. I once had the heart to follow in this area, but allowed myself to take the “easier” path out of fear and pride. I am searching for the strength to be able to obey. Please pray for me that my heart would be tender again and that I would obey Him at all costs because of how good and loving He is. Thank you for this video!

[brecruz]

I would love more videos like this from this group or women like them! It was such an encouragement. They don’t necessarily have to be about modesty, but women’s spirituality.

I have been impressed to wear dresses or skirts for several years, instead of pants or shorts. However, as I work outside on chores on our small farm, I have fallen several times when my skirts become wrapped around my ankles. Scary as a woman in my late 60's. So now my skirts are long, but not clear down to my ankles. I also wear leggings under my dresses for modesty sake, plus for warmth. I feel more comfortable in dresses than in pants. When we go to the city for groceries, I am always treated with respect. Thanks for your encouragement and testimonies of being modest.

In 8 days this video reached 56k views, making it the number one most viewed video Followers of the Way has ever put on their channel. The previous most watched FOTW video was a formal debate with published scholars, the Just War Debate, which reached 55k views, in 8 years. There's something surprising and beautiful about that. It makes me think of the prophecy about "your sons and daughters will prophesy". I thank God for the encouragement and knowledge I have received from this channel, from the men and, now, the women.

It's also telling that, aside from negative comments, there are many Christian women across the country, and the world, who are trying to obey God and the New Covenant closely as they know how, but they feel alone and like an oddball even in their church group regarding certain things like headcovering and modesty.

What an encouragement and even a surprise this video has been.

As a 24 year old man, I believe this video is a gem. Thank you for sharing

I’m so glad I found this video. I mentioned dressing modestly (beginning with skirts/dresses) and my daughter freaked out (she’s 17) and said she didn’t want me looking like a ‘homeschool’ mom. There are homeschool moms who dress modern/contemporary and the homeschool moms who wear skirts only. We attend a conservative church, but it’s mostly contemporary dress. I’m praying that I can let go of the tight jeans, make up and hair. I’m feeling lead into this area of modesty, but not sure how to begin. I want to glorify God with how I dress, but no one else in my church wears a head covering. Thank you for your testimonies and openness. Hoping my comment made sense, it’s a bit scattered

I love the CS Lewis quote about pride. “Pride gets no pleasure out of having something, only out of having more of it than the next man... It is the comparison that makes you proud: the pleasure of being above the rest. Once the element of competition is gone, pride is gone.” ― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity.

Beautiful testimonies... When I first got saved in 2019, one of my first convictions was about modesty. I used to wear makeup everyday, wore very immodest clothing, I loved attention from men and competing with other women. But when God saved me, I became aware of my nakedness. Wear crop tops, short skirts, tight clothing to this world may not look immodest because their eyes are blind, they don't see God's standard yet us in Christ do and it can take time to grow in the area of modesty but He will finish the work He began in us. I started headcovering a year ago and have adjusted my dress to draw less attention until I was picked up quite severely by a distant relative, this woman tore me down and that distorted my view lf myself, I became more prideful feeling I had to prove myself. I stopped headcovering and though I didn't go back to my immodest dress, I started to want to show off my hair again and wear more expensive clothes to feel worthy. Until recently God has called me back... I started covering my head again and am now just trying to build up a comfortable wardrobe of modest plain dress... finding clothes is so hard these days, so many skirts are not lined and dresses have plunging neck lines... I making do right now with what I havebut I'd love to learn to sew.

God bless these women, and thank you for pursuing what many are afraid to do. I am also that women who covers and dresses "frumpy" when no one else in church does but even so God is with me and working through me and around me.

Let's be a witness to the women around us. ✨✝️✨

When I first got saved modestly one of the first things impressed in my heart it took a while to let everything go but I am greatful to God for his love, grace, his mercy and revelation 💗

Beautiful Testimonies Ladies! We need more young ladies to give their testimonies to encourage the younger generations of women! When I rededicated my life to Christ, which was two years ago, I cleaned out my closet. I trashed all of my worldly clothes, jewelry, makeup, etc. Not minding what anyone would say. I felt like I had regained my true identity in Christ. May the Lord God give us the grace to continue in his will in Jesus' name!

[sandrag]

I am revisiting my closet again...there are some clothes that must go!
