Throwing Away Her Entire Wardrobe at 17 - Modesty with Joana Sosa
Have you been feeling a nudge towards dressing more modestly but don’t know where to even start? We often overcomplicate modesty while failing to see the heart behind it. The way we dress and carry ourselves as women of God is an outward expression of inward transformation. In today’s episode Milena sits down with Joana Sosa, a modest fashion influencer who has been instrumental in helping Milena embrace a modest wardrobe by proving that modesty can still be stylish! Joana shares her journey from intentionally showing off her body in revealing clothing, to throwing away her entire wardrobe at 17, and how she truly encountered God right in the midst of it all. We all have to start somewhere and we pray this episode is a starting point for many women to embrace the beautiful call to modesty from the inside out.

Honoring Toxic Parents
zhlédnutí 17KPřed měsícem
“What if my parents aren’t deserving of honor?” “You don’t know what they did to me!” You’re right. We don’t know your exact story and we’re not claiming to. The truth is our parents will not always be deserving of honor. And yet the truth is we’re called to honor them anyway. In this episode we publicly acknowledge the mistakes that we’ve made regarding honoring our own parents and what honori...

Stop Letting Other Kids Raise Your Kids

Who has the most influence over your children? Whose voice does your child value the most? As parents, we’d love to think it was us, but more often than not, it’s actually other children. Peer-centered settings in school, church, and extracurriculars have created an environment where our kids are surrounded by children their age for the vast majority of their days. What’s the problem with this?...

    Hi, Milena. My mom has dressed modest since I could remember and I am now 28 years old. She wears shorter shorts around the house. Because of the modesty within her heart, I’ve never looked at her and thought, “you’re fake for wearing short shorts at home but not in public”. As Joanna said, I knew that my mom was being comfortable in her home and most importantly she wore modesty in her heart. So, I would say to be sensitive to continue being sensitive to the Holy Spirit when he says to change the length and fit of your home. ❤

    The “modesty” that Pentecostals refer to are unfortunately pinned as a certain specific thing ie: no pants. It stems from their interpretation of women not dressing in men’s clothing. And really has nothing to do with modesty. I fear that talking about modesty without confronting this misuse of scripture is hard to listen to. There is freedom in Christ and the religiosity of legalism where this stems from and I’ve seen the new wave of this legalism rewrapped as “doing it for Jesus”. Context in scripture is important. And I hope that everyone remembers that the Spirit convicts us from sin and coming from Pentecostal background, the dressing modestly outlook emphasizes more on our “bodies” than our eyes on Christ. I encourage you to have a Pastor to speak on this with scripture. Cultish has a few episodes on it too and talks about it also.

    As a traditional Catholic, this episode is amazing, thank you both!!! I used to wear skimpy bikinis, super short shorts, crop tops, etc. But when I started to take my faith more seriously, I had to get rid of 80% of my wardrobe. Having my husband there to tell me what he thought was acceptable or not was a huge help

    I absolutely think dressing provicatively around teen boys is a problem. Unfortunately, I've read reddit and quora conversations saying as much. There's a reason MILF is a thing. There should be no double standard of sultry at home and modest outside unless the children are not present. A friend let her teen daughter hang up her thong underwear in full view in the laundry. She wore PINK short shorts. This is around her Dad. Her Dad is in the awkward position that if he says anything he looks like a perv. Teen girls imo should not be prowling around the house looking like a hotty in front of their Dads or brothers. Dad most likely isn't a perv but he is a man. It's unwise.

    25:00 Once my boys were acting curious like "accidentally " walking in after a shower, i just continually wear a bra with pj's. I wore soft, cozy ones under pj's. Wear sweats or a robe over skimpy pj's. Contrary to naked household opinions, children will get turned on by you inappropriately exposing your body. Especially jr high to teen boys. Don't let your relationship get weird. And it's 100% certain that unless you're a pedo, your son won't tell that you're stumbling him.

    Theres nothing righteous about your butt showing from wearing pants, idk why women try not to offend other women for “not feeling convicted to stop dressing sexy” the fact of the matter is that you can have a filthy heart and still dress Holy AND But you cannottttttttt have a pure heart if you dress pants that show the full shape of your butt! Ive met such lovely sisters in Christ but they WILL NOT GIVE UP their lustful clothing even if they’re married, its a spiritual stronghold & its is disobedience to God!! They will find out on judgement day.

    Being modest goes way beyond just the clothes you wear. Are we being modest in the way we talk about people, prioritize our time, our language day to day? You only really talk about modesty in clothing but I don't really think that's as big of a deal as the other things that truly matter.

    • @RCGWho
      @RCGWho Před 10 hodinami

      Clothes are huge. It tempts others. It makes others jealous and insecure. It's pride. It's vanity. It's being lustful and wanting to be lusted. It's extravagance. It's having to have designer labels or what's on trend. It's covetousness and often the cause of debt (it was for me). So many issues. But it is all wrapped up in not being humble. Not willing to be the least s3xy girl in the room. It's being willing to not have all eyes on you. I used to dress vintage. I realize now that, although I wasn't immodest as in showing too much, I was immodest in that walking in looking like you stepped out of the 1940s was drawing attention to myself. Red lipstick 💄 was drawing attention to myself. Modesty is a lot of things from the inside out. But the idea that is merely internal or merely external are both wrong. I'm probably free thinking here and not disagreeing with your other points, but still believe how we dress is important

  • @corinnedeschamps5268

    What is biblical is that God talks about a kind heart, the fruits of the holy soirit etc. .. not about pants. Moreover, I looked at her Instagram and I found it interesting that in MY modesty journey, I deleted many of my pictures that look like hers (faces she makes and angles of some pictures) because I had a wrong feeling that it wasn’t modest in the ATTITUDE/message/image it gave… (there is a picture where she makes a serious face with the tip of her tongue like we see everywhere on Instagram and another where her breast is all we see in the picture even if the orange dress is modest) so I was a Little bit surprised to look at these pictures on her Instagram! I don’t judge, I just think it can become quickly very religious to focus on the dress thing. Let me give you an example - I went to a private school where we had to wear uniforms. The goal was for students to focus on other things than on what they wear etc. Let me tell you, the focus was still on the looks and we knew very quickly who was physically cool and who was not just by the way the uniform was wore and by all the rest (hair, makeup etc and the general attitude). The girl in the video has a STYLE and it’s a beautiful thing - but if the point is to stop focusing on your clothes, I find it a Little bit confusing that in her Instagram description she mentions « fashion » etc. If I look at her Instagram and I want to follow this « path of modesty » and that I was focusing on fashion and what I looked like, I will transfer my focus on this modest fashion style and look at her thinking « oh I want this style! and it’s okay for me to WANT to follow her and look at her pictures and to focus on dresses because these are modest dresses » so at the end, i’m still not focusing on what really matter. Do you understand what I mean ? It’s so easy to believe we are okay with Jesus by focusing on something superficial like wearing only dresses but for me, this is the définition of religion. This being said, I don’t believe it’s a sin to love modest fashion and to like colorful and beautiful modest dresses - it’s just that it is not at all the focus I see in the Bible and to adress the subject of dresses as something that delivered you from the bondage of clothes makes me wonder why the focus is still on needing dresses in my wardrobe... I don’t judge her, I just believe that to wear only dresses has nothing to do with a biblical point of view, it is a personal choice she made and it became her style. I am not saying that she wasn’t convicted by the holy Spirit to wear only dresses in that season of her Life but for many reasons, I would be very careful to promote this as something more feminine and more appropriate than pants etc. to other christian women… especially when you take so many pictures of yourself in dresses to show other women your modest fashion and how they can be « cute » in modest dresses (like Milena said…)

    There will be no such thing as the rapture, Jesus himself suffered we are called to be a Christ on this earth. Jesus himself said, he was hated first so don’t be surprised to be hated for following him. Additionally, as humans imperfect beings, life ain’t a walk in the park it has trials and suffering. Our destination is to be decided by our Lord himself he is the perfect judge we are called to follow his commandments, for those who love him do his will.

    if you can show shoulders or upper chest, i really like those dresses that wrap around the chest, then immediately flow off so you cant see the body shape. its a small elastic band on top, then pretty much a flowy sheet. that with a light cardigan is what i do for heat. i think leaving the arm pits open with a cover on really helps. plus bring a victorian fan! talk about sexy, those things are iconic

  • @hannahthehomesteader
    @hannahthehomesteader Před 23 hodinami

    I have been changing to become more modest. It's not a set of clothing rules- it's a heart posture. Where are you attempting to stand out or be Sexy? Do you want to seem better or make people be jealous? For me, my conviction was around being flashy and fashionable. I enjoyed being the best dressed in any space. I owned nearly 100 pairs of heels. I was also trying to showcase my athletic physique, which I did by highlighting my waist. So i felt convicted to stop wearing skin tight clothes, even if they covered me, and I dress in a more classic and plain way. I don't feel convicted about my Leggings because it's purely a comfort thing and I'm not wearing them for attention. I do feel convicted about showing any hint of cleavage because OTHER people seem to pay attention to it. You have to search your heart and pray about this.

    How do you deal with dressing modestly while being in an environment where other women are not. I too used to dress immodest before I was saved for attention and now that Im more covered I find it difficult at times when Im with my husband and other women are dressed with very little clothing seeking that same attention. (Male gaze) For example, at the beach you will easily see several women in thong bikinis. Or at the gym youll see the tightest sports bras and booty shorts. I havent really heard anyone speak to this.

    Favorite episode thus far 🩷🩷 Absolutely warmed my heart. I am Pentecostal/apostolic and only wear skirts/dresses. I have a swim skirt from Amazon, I work out in skirts, and I love it!! My 2 year old has a swim skirt. This side of Christianity is not discussed enough. Modesty is more than a “rule” or a “standard” it’s literally about obedience and commitment to our God!! There is so much blessing in modesty. I feel as a new mom with lots of body changes and now thinking about what my 2 daughters are seeing me do, I am more modest than ever and constantly making sure clothes fit correctly and that my intentions are right when I am dressing. My pastors wife one said something that pierced my heart and still sticks with me, “you have to choose between feeling sexy or being godly”. This was a fantastic episode!! Thank you for sharing this with the world!!

      Reformed bible believing christian here, and agreed except, feeling sexy with your husband in the privacy of your Marital bedroom is not sin. God created sensuality and sexuality to be appropriately expressed in the bedroom between a husband and wife. In any other context, it's sin. But, saying sexiness is sin and stopping there is legalistic and not biblical. That's how we get wives afraid of being intimate with their husband's because they think they're sinning

    • @kaylalee7861
      @kaylalee7861 Před dnem

      From everything I’ve seen it seems like a lot of Christians have different terms of what’s “modest”. So it’s going depend on different peoples perspectives because as you stated skirts and dresses can be really body hugging. There are a couple versus in the Bible about women not wearing what a man would wear. But again fashion has changed so much over time and what women wore back in the time different parts of the Bible were written was EXTREMELY different to what women wear now. (Head coverings for one example) Some people feel convicted to wear dresses only while others feel that length and fit is more important than dresses only. I personally wear pants still and they are no where near anything my husband would ever wear nor are they revealing and I’m not dressing to show anything off. So I personally feel like pants can be modest. Sorry that was a long answer, but honestly you’ll find a lot of different answers from different perspectives on what’s modest and what’s not.

      And to add, anything that causes either sex to list after you is causing them to commit adultery in their heart. We should do our best to not cause a brother or sister to stumble. If Jesus was looking at your outfit, would he admire how beautiful you look, or be saddened at how you dress

    • @summerknight3975
      @summerknight3975 Před dnem

      pants are not inherently immodest! modesty is much more of a heart issue than it is a physical condition! Modesty should be maintained as a form of worship/conviction/submission!! at around the 20 min mark they share the scripture james 4:17 “so whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin” so if that isn’t something that you are being asked to abide in by your shepherd or spouse or the Lord it’s not immodest:) let me know if that helps:)

    I’ve been dressing modest for years now. my kids were 4 years old when I started. I wore jeans or whatever in my house, but then God convicted me, that if I am doing this for others to see me then it wasn’t for him. If modesty is how God ask me to dress then I wanted it to be in my home as well and didn’t like feeling like a hypocrite in teaching my kids, which should be our most important people we minister to. So from that day on I woke up and dressed modest. Saved shorts or short gowns for my bedroom only. For hubby to see. And now my girls are young adults still in our home and dress modest. PTL 🙌🏻

    I really have to sit and contemplate my modest journey because it was really influenced by those around me. I was in nondenominational Christian circles and they didn't dress too different from the world except not wearing stuff that showed obvious booty or boobs. The fashion was more androgynous athletic or frumy grunge. I never felt too bad about what I wore. I've always dressed feminine, but I've had a desire to be even more feminine, and it's watching this channel and others, I've been inspired to wear mostly more dresses and skirts in my daily wardrobe. Interesting to see the other comments about growing up in strict modesty. That was not my cas. My mom put me and my sisters in booty shorts and tube tops as little girls. There was rarely any modesty except for at church when we went a few times a year. My fashion only slightly changed when I got saved. My sister converted to Islam and her fashiom flipped 180, she dresses similar to the Amish now. What I've noticed is those who grew up immodest and become "religious" can take in the conviction of being modest and voluntarily submit to God's desire for a covered woman because we know what the other side yields in our life and we knew the sin motivation we had in our hearts prior.

      How did your sister convert to Islam?

      @RCGWho At the time, I was trying to get her to come to college ministry with me. She just started the same college I had been attending. She was on a religious exploration, she tried a bunch of different stuff, went to this cult for a few weeks, then joined a different group of immigrant students, they told all these false things about Jesus, and she's been Islamic ever since. We had a bad falling out about cuz I was newly saved and was trying to tell her Allah was of Satan, I repeated words my small group leader had told me, and gave her Christian books which she just returned back. My sister was pretty angry, and I think it affected our relationship for years. Eventually, things cooled off. I spent that time curious about other religions and did self-study on all the different faiths, which built up in me the Christian vigor to know YHWH the God of the bible is one true and living God. Currently, my sister is going through a shift in her ideology, particularly politics, because of the lies and mass manipulation from the government these past 4 years and how that stuff directly impacted her. She told me one day that the Christians get a lot of stuff right in regards to family, life, etc. She's now very prolife and pro family. Stuff, she never was even in Islam. She still needs prayer, but she is seeing some goodness in Christians when she hadn't before. And that could be her roots calling back to her because we did grow up going to church sometimes as children. That foundation, though weak, is still there.

    So relatable. I wore skinny jeans for attention seeking. I only wore dress for church or events. But after pregnancy my views with dresses changed and after pregnancy I had a sense that I don't want to dress provocative and slothy anymore. I felt the clothing I had no longer served me. I'm slowly upgrading and loving dresses and occasional longer shorts for warmer weather. Just following the convictions of the Holy Spirit.

    It’s so great to listen to you guys! As someone who was raised in a very strict and religious church, where I was forced to wear ONLY skirts and always had to braid my hair and was never properly explained why, it’s a very sensitive topic to me. I never thought that there are women who come from a very different background and go this modest way voluntarily not because they have to 🤗 I love to see that you dress modest because you love Jesus! When I got saved I prayed that the lord would show and convicted me of the things that are not his heart. And I learned to live in the freedom of Christ, not to follow man made rules. He has convicted me of some things, that I don’t wear, as short skirts and shorts, but I enjoy the feeling to wear pants and jeans and not feel sinful because people around me believe that. Thank you for talking about this very interesting and controversial topic! God bless you!💕

      I have a similar story. The intention is good but I needed to completely step away from a religious connection to skirts and dresses before I felt free to really enjoy wearing them (as I do now!). I’m fine with pants and sleeveless tops don’t bother me but I’ve realized this NEEDS to be between each individual and the Lord in order for it to be something good and beautiful. I’ve had a lot of thoughts about this. It’s making me really careful with how I raise my daughters. Be blessed! 🤗

    This was a beautiful episode and a message any Christian should hear about the heart posture of modesty. I grew up within the Mennonite/amish culture and the religion and conformity that is required felt restrictive even amid correct biblical teaching, comparison and judgment between Christians was very real. After I stopped covering my head and started modestly wearing pants etc I felt so much freedom in my walk with Christ because I knew he didn’t judge me because my heart was still in the right place. That was a revelation for me. Maybe he will change me again someday but for now I see the benefits of not being forced to wear only skirts.

      Yeah I totally understand where you’re coming from. It’s all about heart posture and intent. Maybe for you, the restrictions of clothing modesty was a stumbling block…like it made you feel like you had to strive for acceptance/perfection. And that’s why you feel free, now that you broadened your wardrobe. I’m on the exact same journey…except I’m Pentecostal lol. We’ll see. But I wouldn’t be surprised if I felt called back to skirts only in three future

      @@DeniSoars yes that was perfectly described! I love wearing dresses and skirts still, but I like the freedom of choosing. My cousin once said women who wear pants go to hell. I just can’t get over the religious and immodest posture that truly is to believe such a thing. God bless your journey!
