    Just want to point out that over 100 years ago, every Christian women going to church (regardless of denomination) wore a hat or scarf. Society has put away the head covering.

    • @KEldridge
      @KEldridge Před 4 lety +38

      indeed. it was always a cloth cover/, lace veil then it went to hats and then fashion hats. Society has put aloit of things away along with head covering. Its put away morals, dignity, respect for each other and parents, love and many more Godly foundational attributes. Unfortunately thats the consequence sin has had. The impact is far great and makes for a very sad life, when more bad occurs then good. The Good is much rarer these days.

    So because of YOU I began to study 1 Corinthians 11 myself. I read 3 books on the topic and found the Headcovering Movement. I was convicted to begin covering during times of prayer, so I do at church and bible studies and at home when praying. I also cover when teaching God's word to children, mine or others at church.

      Jenny Henry. I have been a born-again Christian for nearly 40 years and would not have ever cared to cover my hair, being “freed from the law” and all that. But since Covid, God has done a Major work in my heart, and I now wear a head covering. I wear it pretty much all day at home because you never know when I might break out in praise, prayer, or open my Bible to study. In addition I want to be wearing it if hubby asks for prayer as well. Normally I would not wear a covering, but I noticed that the wife of Derek Prince (both now deceased) would wear a scarf during church services because of 1 Corinthians 11. He is one of my favorite Bible teachers and I respect him and his wife. That being said, it was the Lord who put it on my heart to do so out of respect of what the Word says in the referenced passage. Don’t do it unless you sense the Holy Spirit leading you.

      @@mslaurateague I didn't say because of Megan I started covering my head. I told her that she was why I began to study the scriptures for myself in regards to this passage. After studying and praying on the subject I was convicted by the Holy Spirit that I should be covering. Then I studied more to understand when to cover. I do not feel convicted to cover at all times.
      I do not believe my hair is my covering. I believe my hair is my glory and therefore that glory must be covered at times of prayer and prophecying as only Christ's glory must be shown in those times.

      Jenny Henry I understood that you were lead to study the Scriptures for yourself. I was merely sharing my experience as it seems similar to yours. Seems like the Lord is leading many women to wear head coverings while praying, prophecying, or reading Scriptures. I got the same message from Paul’s writing as you about covering my head as only Christ’s glory might be shown. I am interested in knowing the books you read if you would care to share the titles.

      @@mslaurateague hello ❤️ I felt led to tell the both of you, about the truth from what the scriptures actually meant. So if you actually read 1st Corinthians 11:3-7 head covering is not a literal covering on your head. I really wish I could tell the whole world this. This scripture is referring to how women cut/ trim their hair and how the Bible is saying that she's dishonoring her head (Husband) by cutting her hair so this is why while praying or prophesying women in general they don't need to cut their hair. So that's what the scripture is talking about. And with men covering their hair this means how men don't need to have long hair, because they're dishonoring their head (God) it's just like how people do not understand the scripture with saying how women (I'm paraphrasing here) do not need to wear clothes that men wear. People in certain religions believe that this just means cross-dressing and purposely trying to look like a man, but this also means do not wear pants as a woman. This laid heavy on my heart because I don't want women to believe that they cannot show their hair which is their Glory that God gave them and I just hope that you understand what I'm trying to explain here.

    I read a memoir from someone who is not from a "headcovering" church. He and his wife went to Spain for an outreach event. She heard that ladies in that church covered, so she went and purchased a white lace veil. After the first meeting, she was told that inly unmarried ladies wore the white ones, so she went and got a black one instead. At the evening meeting people congratulated them, "Ooh, you got married this afternoon!" * giggles * True story! :-)

    For those wondering- most Mennonites cover all the time (well, within reason, but we don’t take it on and off but leave it on all day) because of what it also says in 1 Thessalonians 5:17 about praying without ceasing, combined with 1 Corinthians 11 which says to cover when praying or prophesying. Just in case anyone was wondering!

    • @jennylhenry78
      @jennylhenry78 Před 4 lety +8

      That is something I wrestled with as well. But I do believe the praying without ceasing is talking more about our heart attitude toward prayer and not physically never stopping. There is absolutely no way we could ever pray without stopping, so if we didn't follow this as a command then wouldnt we be sinning all the times we aren't praying? All that to say I now do cover during times of prayer. 💕

    I loved this!! I have been looking for an easy updo for a while. Your tutorial is the best that I have come across ! I did it along with you and I was surprised how easy it was. It is such a feminine hairstyle and I am quite pleased how it came out. Thank you so much! I have found my new updo 👏🏻🌹

    It's beautiful. I have often looked at that verse and wondered myself I chose to cover when reading and praying. But honestly often wondered why not just do it all the time so I don't have to always carry one with me

    Loved this video today..😊 .I love how you share your faith in your own way. Not judgy but more of this is your beliefs. I'm a Christian but do not cover my hair so I've always been curious about why you guys do. Thanks for a little more understanding about it. I think the way you cover yours is so stylish and beautiful. Also I LOVE native deodorant..I've been using them for about a year and love them. My fave scent is the linen and cotton one. So clean smelling. I buy mine at Walmart. Have a great day!

    I was raised as a Christian (catholic, although I took my own path away from the catholic church quite early on in life) and always felt interesting (and kind of confusing) how interpretation goes a long way in this matter. When my mother was a girl women were expected to wear a covering in the church, and before that, covering the hair on any occasion was a must. Where I come from, in Sardinia, we have such a beautiful culture for hair coverings, with a lot of passion and creativity into it, although now we cover our head only on some occasions and mostly for tradition (I can send you some pictures if you're interested!). Moreover, growing up I've been taught that you should only cover your head in front of the Pope! Then I got to study the history and culture of fashion and realized how much this concept, much like any other, could change across centuries and cultures, and in the case of many churches, sadly, on politics too. All this to say, it's beautiful to see such a respectful and really deeply thought choice that comes from the study and personal interpretation of the Scriptures, instead of from arbitrary decisions of someone else. Thank you for sharing all this :)

  • @historicalcookingwithcourtney

    Thanks for this - I know something like how you do your hair may seem trivial, but it is enlightening to people who are outside of your religion and I think it helps foster an understanding on things that may be different than the mass culture (or other belief systems, as trivial as they might seem. My 7 year old daughter watches your videos with me and decided to bobby pin a washcloth to her head one day... we had a fantastic discussion and biblical study on head coverings that we might not have otherwise known about.

    I actually started looking into head coverings from watching your videos and also Lynette Yoder’s videos. I started by looking more into 1 Corinthians 11 and talked to my husband about it and he agreed that you should at least wear a head covering when praying. My church doesn’t require it , but I felt like God was leading me that way. I have started wearing a head covering and I feel like it is the right thing. Lots of people I know have started asking me about why I wear one, so it gives me a chance to tell them about how it’s in the Bible and what it says

Such beautiful memories I have of these things. You always touch my “feels” section in my heart. Just beautiful and I wish all children grew up having these loving feelings, feeling nurtured, loved and special in their families.
    You are so kind and your voice is really soothing. Thank you for showing us your hair style and it’s really beautiful and seems simple, but I’ve a feeling it’s one of those hard things you just make look easy.

I’m not really religious and don’t cover my hair but find it very interesting your reasonings for doing so. I grew up in a religious household but we never covered our hair. I will try this hair style out though because it’s quite nice.

    This is very interesting, gonna try this style. I love how willing you are Megan to have open conversation. I'm a Pentecostal lady from South Texas and I don't cut my hair. The funny thing is, I was in my twenties when I started going to church. My hair was shoulder length when I first started going to church, had been raised cutting my hair all my life. The same week I made the decision to stop cutting my hair, two or three different people, on separate occasions, adamantly tried talking me into cutting my hair. Almost to the point of trying to drag me into an argument over it. Random! Caught me by surprise because I had not told anyone out loud about my decision. It was such odd timing. It's to do with the promise. I chose in a single moment to take a stand for God by doing something different than those around me. Being seperate from the world. The spirit world, is more real than what we touch and experience every day. Been living it the best I know how, 14 years now. Love your channel! Great stuff!!
    Our Bishop always used to say "God is coming back for a people who have made themselves ready."

      @Naomi 1 Corinthians 11:6.16 ...For if a woman is not covered , let her also be shorn ( meaning cut ...trim ) . But if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved , let her be covered. A woman’s hair is her glory...her covering. . Some choose to wear a covering over the length of their hair such as Megan, others just consider their hair as the covering. The verse was always taught to me as men should have short hair.....woman should have long hair ...never cut.. Verse 15 says But if a woman has long hair , it is a glory to her, for her hair is given to her as a covering.

    @allisonstark1199 Před 4 lety +2

    Yay! Such a fun video! Growing up in Lancaster County as a Christian with Mennonite grandparents and relatives, I am no stranger to the practice of head covering and the meaning behind it. My church interprets that passage to mean that long hair for a woman is her glory. It serves as her covering. Corinthians 11:15 “[...] For long hair is given to her as a covering.” I personally believe that this is how I was created and come to God in that way. Although, I don’t see anything wrong with covering your hair. If that is what you feel God is leading you to do- then by all means! Side note- definitely purchasing some hair pins and trying this bun! We have the same hair texture and I get the thin hair struggle 🤣

    Hi Megan! This was such a nice video! You know I've been head-covering for about six months or more and I love how you did your hair in the back and covered it. I am a Christian that chooses to head-cover as well.
    I cover the majority of my head and that's just for my own personal preference because I'm the only person around here that covers their head.
    I normally do my hair the way you do yours on the side, but I never tuck my hair through my ponytail and then pin it. It is great to have my hair out of the way when homeschooling and living full-time in the RV.

      The hair is not the sole covering in the passage. 1 Corinthians 11:6 uses the Greek word katakalupto, which means "to veil" or "to cover wholly". It is a completely different word that he uses in reference to hair, peribolaion, meaning "something cast around", as with hair. Paul's argument is that if a woman does not veil herself (the ordinance appointed by God), she might as well shave her pride/glory (the hair covering given by nature).

    This is your first video I’ve seen. I love the hairstyle! I will definitely try it even though I don’t wear a head covering all the time, just with the bun. Thanks for sharing! I also do the hair push up for volume- totally not dumb! It works 😂
    I have thought about head covering, and have not reached a definite conviction as to whether my hair itself is my covering or if a separate covering is needed. Just a tip for other ladies whose husbands may not be on board with head covering: I have used bandanas or scarves as headbands as a head covering to test the waters but still look “modern.”
    Also, Native deodorant is the best!!! I just got some. Sorry for TMI...I have always sweat a lot, but after my second child was born I have really struggled with body odor for some reason. Maybe hormones? The Native has totally fixed it! I still sweat, but don’t smell! The sweet peach and nectar scent smells amazing. If you are not happy with your current deodorant, give Native a try!
