Modesty at the Pool on this edition of Truth and Love.

I'm Heath Lambert and you're listening to Truth and Love, a podcast of the Association

of Certified Biblical Counselors, where we seek to provide biblical solutions for the problems

that people face.

Last week was the week of Memorial Day, and that is the unofficial start for summer for so many

people that listen to this podcast.

And we want to begin the summer by talking about some issues that Christians

need to think through with regard to purity and modesty. Last week, we talked about purity at the

pool and how to cultivate a heart of purity when you're in a situation where you might be seeing

a lot of immodest people. This week, we want to deal with the other side of that coin

and talk about how to actually be modest

when you show up at the pool or the beach.

And our guest on the podcast this week is Martha Peace.

Martha Peace is a certified biblical counselor with ACBC. She counsels at her church, Faith Bible Church,

and their counseling ministry, Faith Biblical Counseling Center. She is a popular conference speaker.

She's also the author of many books most relevantly for this topic this week, her most recent book, Modesty, More Than a

Change of Clothes. Martha is also my adopted mom, and we are happy to have her on the podcast this

week. Martha, we want to talk about this issue of modesty at the pool, modesty at the beach. When we gather for these summer

activities, there is the call upon the Christian to engage in those activities in a way that

portrays modesty in their dress. But before we can really get into the nitty gritty on this,

we have to know what it means to be modest and what it means to be immodest.

So can you help us understand what's going on there?
