Summary

Modesty is an important and tricky topic within our church today, and as women, we are told so many different things. Most importantly, we should all remember that we are made in the image of God and that He made us beautiful. In this episode of God Hears Her, Eryn and Elisa talk through what we get wrong about modesty, while providing thoughtful insights on celebrating our femininity and positive ways to express ourselves.

Notes and Quotes:

Self-expression vs. being-accepted-expression.
“I can’t look a certain way because I am responsible for how people respond to how I look.”
“When we are immodest, shame creeps up.”
“What is the motivation in your heart for why you wear what you wear?”
“I don't need to worry about everyone else’s response. How am I responding to those less presentable parts of myself?”
“How am I seeing myself in God’s image?”
“Our femininity is something to celebrate.”
“That is what modesty is: both appreciation and care.”
“The desire to be seen and accepted is very normal.”
“We were made to be seen.”

0:05.1	inner motivation for how we are clothing ourselves. And if it comes from this appreciation

0:20.4	God's divine stamp upon our being.
0:24.1	You know, that is what's going to shine forth from the inside out.
0:28.3	And that does actually call us to lay aside all that shaming stuff and be unapologetic

2:02.1	And that is, you know, we are going to be talking about modesty, what we get wrong about it.
2:07.7	And this is going to be fun because we both come from different, even just different time periods of what modesty is now in my generation and your generation. And I'm curious, like,
