Summary

Today we're talking about modesty, what the Bible says about it, and the "controversy" surrounding Matthew West's "Modest Is Hottest" video. West caused quite a stir on social media with the now-deleted video and reignited the ongoing debate about modesty and purity culture. Although there are certainly some harmful aspects to purity culture as many of us experience it, the Bible gives clear examples of what God's expectations are regarding modesty. --- Today's Sponsors: Bambee provides a dedicated HR manager - available by phone, email, or real-time chat - for small business owners!

Hello, hello, welcome to relatable happy Monday. Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend today.

0:16.9

Not as I'm recording this, but as you're listening to this, I'm actually in Nashville for the

0:22.8

Candace Owens show. So make sure that you look out for that. Super exciting. But today,

0:28.4

we are going to discuss a controversial topic that many of you have asked me to discuss.

0:34.6

And I've honestly been kind of avoiding talking about it. It's not really because it's

0:39.8

controversial. You guys know that I don't avoid controversial subjects because, but because

0:44.3

I haven't really decided how to properly articulate what I think about it. But with so many

0:53.9

requests on this and so many conversations about this topic, which is modesty circulating

1:00.8

on social media, especially in what's considered ex-vanjelicalism and progressive Christianity.

I thought it might be time to bite the bullet and just go for it. So that's what we're going

1:12.0

1:23.2

this right now because there was some drama that went on online, centering on the subject

1:39.9

of modesty when Christian singer Matthew West released a song called Modest Is Hottest

1:45.2

on Father's Day where he talks about encouraging his two daughters to dress appropriately.

1:50.9

I watched it on Instagram when it came out new, immediately what the reaction was going

1:56.6

to be by from some people, but I mean, I laughed. I got what he was doing. It was obviously

2:02.1

tongue in cheek. He might have been aiming to convey a serious message that he wants

2:07.4

to protect his daughters, but it was obviously like hearted. A little satirical just trying

2:12.1

to jokingly show that, you know, he is a protective dad of his girls. Here's an example
