I'm an atheist but I appreciate your perspective and all the hard work you put into your videos. I know you've been having a really hard time lately, so I extra appreciate the effort!
As someone who had attempted to address this highly controversial topic, I can appreciate your courage and the behind the scenes work (research) that went into this video. I tell myself if I don't get backlash in this day and age I'm doing something wrong😏😏😎great job addressing this sensitive stuff👍👍👍
Whoa!!! All I can say is I did not know I needed that talk, BUT I DID. Thank you. I hope you do more of this-pick a topic, read from the bible and teach, I LOVED THIS and I really did not want to click on it but I did and gave it a few moments but found myself watching the whole thing easily and happily, I learned so much!
YES!!! 👍 When I began covering my head it was just a simple conviction that I felt strongly to obey after reading 1 Corinthians 11 one morning. I thought it would be a simple change in my life. I thought it would simply tell others whom I love, submit to, and serve in an outward way. I had NO clue that this simple obedience would completely change my heart, my home, and the trajectory of my life! Once I showed God that I would cast off my pride and my vanity to obey Him, He opened the flood gates of spiritual blessings. He has given me opportunities to discover my gifts and to use them to serve Him and others in ways I could not have even imagined before. My marriage is 1000x stronger, my husband has risen to the challenge in such a beautiful way, and my children are falling into place right behind us. Small obedience can spell big blessings. Now I know that nothing is too small or insignificant for God to use. Thank you so much for sharing this message with us women!! This world desperately needs more women of conviction and faith. Love you Sister! You are salt & light! ❤
@@phyllissweetpea4926 I believe that is my covering! They don't use the verse at the end of the chapter where it says there was no practice of it. Anabaptist actually didn't wear head covering in the beginning. I'm not sure exactly when Mennonites started to.
As a fellow mennonite, I agree completely with the mentality that we put the head covering too high. I feel very convicted to wear a visible head covering, but it does not get me a free card into heaven. We need a personal relationship with the Lord❤
Think of headcovering as a crown for a daughter of the King of the Universe, a physical symbol of a spiritual protection. The headcovering is also an accountability tool, just like my beard (Leviticus 19:27) and the tassels of Numbers 15:38-40 and Deuteronomy 22:12. The tassels/tzitzyot were life changing for me in taking thoughts captive better. Headcovering is also about reclaiming lady hood in this Jezebel culture.
@@messianichebrewshawnkawcak1550 it's also quite often a door opener to the world. I've on more than on occasion had the question asked, why I wear the covering?
@@mamamode1312 absolutely, headcovering and modesty are very powerful tools to resisting the pull of the world. When I wear my tunic (down to my ankles I hate pants) and tallit I feel more spiritually aware of what’s around me. Embracing tassels was life changing for me in taking thoughts captive better, a reminder of the need for a covenant lifestyle.
@@mamamode1312 you mean in starting conversations with people? I have found wearing my tallit (prayer shawl) has gotten me into some very interesting conversation, even had people ask me for prayer.
I enjoyed this so much! I cringe when I hear a group of women bashing/complaining about/making fun of their husbands😬 But I can't help but smile when I don't join in those conversations, and think of all the wonderful ways my husband loves me.
I have never understood why, in the mennonite faith, you cover your head at all times. When you explained that the bible directs you to pray without ceasing, and it does, then you believe that you should have your head covered at all times. Now I understand why you do this and it makes total sense. In our church our practice is to cover you head during worship service. We don't cover our heads for our mid-week bible study meeting because it is not worship service. You do a great job explaining things where everyone can understand this very complicated subject. When you explain submission in the husband/wife relationship it is so beautiful. After 52 years of being blessed to have a god filled marriage listening to you makes me cry. My husband has been such a devoted husband and father. It doesn't bother me at all to say "whatever you think is best". I find myself constantly saying "what should I do in this or that situation". My greatest joy is telling someone what a wonderful husband I have and what a wonderful father he has been. I just love you more when you present a video to us like this one.
As a born again Christian woman I don't personally wear a covering, but I love hearing your viewpoint! And I'm so glad you talked about submission, I feel like it's so important to talk about what it truly means and not what the world says it is!
Thank you so much for this video!! I have been convicted of dressing plain and covering my head. I enjoyed hearing your point of view and the scriptures.
I so appreciate your focus on how love and respect are both so important for submission to work. Both for the husband and wife. Your love for the Lord is so encouraging. I’m nodding my head through this whole video! I’m with the Evangelical Free Church and am delighted to meet such a wonderful sister in the Lord. I see your perspective on wearing a head covering and I’m glad you don’t seem to judge those who have a different viewpoint. I really think we would have a great visit together over tea and have a special prayer time together.
This is wonderful. Yes when men are fulfilling their roll in Christ, it is so easy to "let" him lead in love. Amen. I agree with the head covering. At home I do not pray without my head being covered. I'm still working on keeping it covered all day. God help me. Amen.
I have to agree. We can not judge a person or woman if she’s a true Christian if her head is not covered. Being a Christian is excepting Jesu as our Savior n having a personal relationship with Him. Head coverings or not.
@@abideintheword. Did you ever notice, it's only mentioned one time, yet things that are mentioned Often like judging others or gossip as sin are very stressed. Growing up as a Mennonite, judging and gossip was very prominent, why wouldn't a person obey those? I believe if something God spoke a lot it is of more importance!
This is better than any sermon that i've ever heard in a church in my life! I wish preachers would just break it down like this! I think so many more people would understand so much more this way!! GREAT job at addressing this sensitive topic! I would love to hear you address the issue of an "unGodly" husband and a Godly wife and vice versa on this topic!
This was probably my favorite video I have seen on TH-cam! I never gave head coverings any thought until recently. I have been praying for God's guidance on this topic and have had several conversations with my preacher recently. Thank you for your insight and willingness to share your faith and heart!
Thank you for taking the time to share! You did a great job covering this topic. May God bless you for being willing to share on this. Have a great weekend!
Thank you. When I listen to you, and your wisdom, I do feel truely blessed. Our backgrounds are so different but I believe our core beliefs are fundamentally the same. Also, your little quote of “you were born an individual, don’t die a copy” will be passed on to my sons - such a simple but powerful piece of advice. Thank you again
You are very well versed Jeannine. This was a very informative and interesting explanation of your beliefs and faith. You and Nolan are truly blessed. Howard W.
Love love love this video!!! I could watch it so many times and still keep learning from it. I feel like you just put into words how I’ve been feeling towards me wearing my head covering, God wants me to wear it. Thank you so much!!
Love you channel And love your energy.I am not a Mennonite And I would say I'm a struggling Christian.And I have found Happiness And encouragement In your words Thank you for sharing you with all of us much love
This is my new favorite video that you have done. I can see both sides of the head covering interpretation as well. I often pray for discernment and clarity. Your head coverings are beautiful and so was the scriptural explanation. Thank you for opening your heart to us. All your videos are wonderful, but I hope to see more like this as well.❤
Wow that was so wonderful, I started feeling I should wear a head covering when at church and when praying for the last few months, as a new Christian it’s like a mine field out there with so many opinions and interpretations and in the uk woman don’t seam to wear head coverings as much. So I found this very helpful. You made it simple to follow and understand which is a blessing as some make thing so confusing. I’m still trying to find a head covering that will stay put when I’m moving around a lot as they don’t like to stay put on my head. Thank you so much for sharing this. Glory to God 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I used to put my confidence in my appearance... After being convicted about outward modesty, my hair was the only thing I had that made me feel beautiful and attractive but when I found a video about headcovering on tiny notes from home channel I was convicted to start covering and was honestly sad about it at first because I didn't realise that so much of my confidence came from how I felt about how I looked and my hair was all I had that made me feel pretty... But with time and experience covering I started to really have peace about it and now I find it uncomfortable without it and I also have not felt as beautiful as I do now wearing my covering. The Holy Spirit will help us
Thank you sooo much for your sharing about marriage. I believe as well it is very sad how society is treating men. I also feel sorry for them! God asks us to honor our husbands forsure I know I struggle with this also but I have also been sooo very blessed when I have been obedient. Gods plans are the best he loves us and knows what is best for us!!!
Spot on my friend! I love how you say that we like the notion of being a damsel in distress, I feel the closest to my husband when he sees something or someone who has been hurting me, he will lead me away from that hurt, defend and comfort me.❤️
Be born an original don't die a copy!! My favorite quote This helped me so much! As a babe in christ ive been convicted to veil but ive been going back and fourth with this because of satan. And this solidified in my heart that im doing the right thing.
Thank you Jeanine, for using your influence online for such a Godly purpose. You have such a gentle persuasive way with words. And I found your video to be an encouragement!
I love that you bring this up. I'm Pagan, I was raised Christian (German Lutheran), but I chose to be Pagan. It felt right in my heart. It is amazing to have a testimony of any sort, whether you are Christian, Pagan whatever religion you are. Which very clearly means, we probably don't have the same viewpoints, however, that doesn't mean I am going to quit watching. Why should I? Oh our religions don't match? Both of our faiths tell us that we are to be respectful of each other. It always floors me the people that just leave because oh, my viewpoint, religious viewpoint doesn't match up with said youtuber, or person. That is not how life should be. Just because I live my life differently, doesn't mean I expect everyone to have that same viewpoint. Its a great big world, and not everyone is going to believe the same way at all.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I loved this. Very beautifully put. Your gentleness shines through. I felt called to cover a few years ago and have found so much joy, peace and comfor in it. And I feel way less attacked by the enemy. My mind is way more calm and at peace since covering. I'm assuming it has to do with the section about our covered heads being a symbol of us being under authority to angles in 1 Cor 11:10? Covering has really helped me to humble myself, especially in a world of looks and outward appearances meaning so much, which sadly is even in the church. We are called to be set apart, different, unusual, spotless, and blamelesss, not look and act like the world around us. I was called out publicly for it in church from the pulpit which was so embarrassing, but I didn't let it get to me too much becuase people have been taught differently. And yes, when God called me to cover, I struggled with the feminismic attitude of not wanting to humble myself under my husband. I grew up in the church and had never known anyone to cover and never heard teaching on it, so I can see how people simply don't understand it. Yes I agree, in my research I studied 1 Cor 11 for months and months. Especailly looking into the meanings in Greek. The word for covering in 1 Corthians 11:4, 5,6,7, 13, is the word, katakalýptō, from katá, "down, and kalýptō, "to cover"-cover down, to make appropriate (complete), i.e. to wear a veil. It is the same root word used for the veil that separated the Holy of holies from the priests. It is clearly taking about a peice of fabric.(Matt 27:51) The same word is used in 2 Cor 3:13. "not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face so that the Israelites might not gaze at the outcome of what was being brought to an end." But vrs 15 does NOT use the same word for covering. Vrs 15. "but if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair is given to her for a covering." This is a different word for "cover"= "peribolaion," that which is thrown around or a mantel that can be thrown around (As in when a women tosses or throws her hair around, or a mantel that rest on the shoulders and drapes around the body. So hair is considered long if it goes past her shoulders to cover her body). tossing the hair can be very alluring to men. This is where we get the saying, "Let your hair down." Up until only the last generation woman covered in Church. It was only during the sexual revolution that Chriatin women in North America stopped covering their heads. ALL of our grandmothers would have covered in church. This is why the Hutterites, Mennonites, Amish, orthodox churches, and messiniac Jews (Jews who beleive in Jesus), a lot of African congratations, etc still cover their hair. Also, if hair is the covering, what does that mean for a man? Should he always have his head shaved bald? Or can he put on and take off his hair? No of course not. That makes no sense. Godly biblical submission is a good thing and a blessing, I totally agree. We are to imitate Christ, and He was submissive unto God's will, even unto death. Paul also says that the veil or covering is a symbol to who, the angels? Why, because angles can't read our hearts and minds but they can see a headcovering and it shows that we are.gollowong God's ordainer order, which Satan did not submit to. We are not supposed to be like the world. Thank you so much for sharing.
This is exactly what I needed to hear on this very day. I do not believe it would have helped me if I had watched this video yesterday. Thank you for sharing God's Word with us.
Janene Thank you. I was so blessed by your message. I also loved the video of you and your husband’s teaching. I was raised Baptist. I have been away from the church for a long time. I’m really feeling drawn to return. I just wanted to say Thank you. Much love to your family and the new addition. Congratulations!
So cool! My culture long hair is sacred, an extension of our nervous system. When you read that passage thats what i thought of and thank you for sharing. You are a beautiful woman of god and its inspiring.
Thank you for the inspiration!! As a fellow Mennonite I commend you for your honesty about the headship covering in itself being right next to salvation to some. My husband and I also see this as a concern within some of the Mennonites groups. The scriptures were well explained about the headship covering...And I appreciate your insight on how detrimental it is for wives to degrade their husbands. Thanks for all the hard work you put into this video! It’s very helpful and worthwhile!! Blessings 💓
I loved this. :) Felt like you were mentoring me. Just like Paul said that women should do for younger women... This is amazing Thank you for teaching me how to be a good Christian woman
I am thrilled to hear someone else with exactly the same thoughts and feelings as me on every point made in this video. I am the only one in my church that wears a head covering, not that I would judge them and they don't judge me, we are very caring and respectful of one another, it is beautiful that my Christian brothers and sisters accept me as I am and we value each others differing opinions on the subject of submission as well as other things. Like you have said in another video God's word is controversial. Thank you for such wonderfully explained content.
I am Orthodox ,and so agree with many things you said. We cover our heads in the Church,as part of our tradition, long time ago , married woman would always covered her head in public
Jeanine, you did a wonderful job of sharing why you head cover. I'm working on my Video now because it has been one year since I started head covering.
I just came across your channel today as my husband and I are digging into the Anabaptist faith and thank you so much for your wonderful videos! You have such a beautiful and wonderful way on explaining topics (even ones that can be sensitive such as this) in a humble and meaningful way.❤
I never thought about it until you just said something about hair covering my Grandmother was Baptist and while She was Alive She Had long hair and She always had it Some Kind Of Net Or Something like It. Wen She Got Leukemia Cancer She Lost Alot Of Her Hair. But She Never Gave Up Believing In JESUS
I’ve been watching Mennonite youtubers for about 6 months out of curiosity at first, and then because I appreciate the clean christian influence it’s been having in my life. I have been intrigued to discover it “feels” better to pray with something over my head (like a scarf or hood). Fascinating! Thanks for the time you took to make this video. I really enjoyed it.
I really enjoyed listening to this! Definitely worth my while to listen to the whole thing. As a fellow mennonite myself, I agree with everything you shared. Especially with the part of how head covering isn't to be held higher than salvation thru Jesus. ♡
I am a young, liberal Muslim convert, as I found this message to be the one that describes my life and values the best. Nevertheless, us as Christians and Muslims do believe in the same God and thus I agree with many of the things you said and found a lot of myself in there. The interpretation of a woman's place in life has been a huge problem in Islamic tradition as well and I hope many more people of different faiths watched your video. Thanks so much for this encouraging, faithful video!!!
I absolutely loved how you handled the topics of head covering, submission & Godly order. The Spirit was certainly speaking through you with such love & humility. Our church, the Apostolic Christian Church of America, also practices wearing of the head covering by the converted women. You did an awesome job of explaining the Bible verses pertaining to this subject. You also did a great job in discussing Godly submission of wives to their husbands, and the husband's love & respect for his wife. Today's society does not want to hear about Godly submission. Their eyes are blinded & their hearts are hardened with pride. I enjoy all of your videos. You speak with such love for the Lord & for your family. Keep the videos coming! May God richly bless you!
I enjoyed this video. I love hearing you share your faith. We all can learn from each other. God has a plan for each of us. We just need to get busy finding out what our individual job is and not worry about What someone else’s job is. If I follow Gods plan I won’t have time to mess in the business of others. I’m proud to be in submission to my husband because no one but God loves me and wants greater things for me than my husband. Be blessed and love your family and channel.
I got so much out of this video. Really uplifted me. Not a Mennonite but Pentecostal so I am conservative in my beliefs. I needed to hear from someone else who follows the teachings of the Bible on this platform. Thank you. Greatly considering the head covering..
I'm not a Mennonite lady however I thank God that I found this talk. I have felt like God has been drawing me to the headcovering. I was looking for someone that spoke it from a biblical manner
Whether or not to wear a head covering is something that I have been wrestling with for several years. I do not know anyone personally who wears a head covering. I know several women who at one time wore head coverings but no longer do. For the last several months the Lord has really been speaking to me. I watched your video and felt led to start wearing a head covering. Thank you for your video. May God bless you.
Thank you so much for this video. I would view this topic differently, but really appreciate hearing your why. You can really see your heart and the conviction you have to cover your head. I love to hear when mennonites do this for The Lord rather than just because it's a traditional act. Anyways, love your videos♡
Yes! So glad for this voice of truth in the dark mixed up world we are in. And it has also bothered me how quick our Mennonite culture is to judge a non covering woman as not living right. I am saddened when the practice is dropped. By God's grace I want to teach my daughters the why and what's behind it, but NOT the idea that the practice is almost your salvation. You did a great job on this Jeanine!
Being in the grips of depression I just started scanning TH-cam and ran across your channel… God was truly guiding me today 🙏 Thank you for making your videos to help me today 🥰
Thank you for all the work you do to post your videos. To all who want true peace, true hope and true joy; it is found only in Jesus. He paid our sin debt in full on Calvary. He made Heaven very simple, acknowledge the fact that we are all sinners, we are all in need a Savior. Call upon him today for salvation, it is the only way to heaven. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Please call upon Jesus today.
I find the next verse powerful too: For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. John 3:17 Jesus offers us Salvation not condemnation. 😊🙏
I love your videos, but this was by far my favorite. Although I am not Mennonite I find myself agreeing with you on all issues. I'm giving more thought to covering my head now that I understand it better.
I have learned over the years that when people ask questions about why I dress the way I do my reply to them Is that It’s because I follow and believe in the scriptures concerning modesty in the Bible. Then I state “but what’s more important is salvation and what God did for us so we can be filled with his spirit.” My reasoning for doing this is because the Bible talks about how the carnal man doesn’t understand spiritual things but when a person turns his life over to God and is filled with his spirit they will do it because they have a changed heart and love God. I’m thankful for christians who live for God and are not intimidated by worldly views. Thank you for your video !!! - Bernice Kroner
Thank you very much sister in Christ I totally agree with this I'm a Christian and we read the Bible and it's so nice to hear from you I always watching your videos it's a blessing to me keep up the good work and wish you all the best God bless you and your family🙏💝
I bet you make a fantastic friend. I don't live anywhere close to my friends (military lifestyle has lead me away from many of my closest friends and now that the moves are over, I haven't found my person since being settled now for over 4yrs. It's hard as I don't drink, don't smoke, don't watch tv/movies/listen to modern music...people shut me out so pray for God to put a friend in place for me soon) Loved this video very much. The video clips of Nolan and Xander were sweet and the growling chihuahua cracked me up.
I just wanted you to know that I just watched this video today and I really appreciate it it was so very informative I've been wondering more about the head coverings and didn't even know where to go to get those answers and you answered a lot of those for me today and you did so biblically which I really appreciate it's given me a lot to think about I just found your channel today and I'm very happy I did you're very inspiring thank you God bless
I loved your long speech! I see the headcovering as necessary for public worship so I don’t cover my head everyday; however I really respect those that cover all the time. I agree with everything you said so well, but I would add that for those women that have difficult husbands and for all us wives when it’s hard to be submissive that little phrase Eph 5:22 “...as unto the Lord”, is so very helpful! Not my will but His be done, to please my Lord who submitted to so much to save His people. God bless you and your little family.
Loved this video, as a Christian, it is easy to submit yourself spiritually to someone who loves you more than themselves. Husbands have a great responsibility, biblically to put his wife above himself. In contrast as a wife we are to be a help to our husbands. When practiced biblically, it is a beautiful team who always have each other's back. Love in Christ is so much more fulfilling than, the way the world teaches. Christ's love is not based on feelings or emotions but rather devotion and practice. Lust can fade and feelings change but a love founded on respect, deeds, and unconditional feelings is life long and doesn't fade.
Love this. When I studied this topic 7 years ago, what made sence to me was that its not just wroten to the Corinthians, it also says to all believers.
Excellently done! You are so thorough in researching and explaining the hard issues! My husband, a former Mennonite pastor, says that if a husband lives and follows God’s word and treats his wife as he should, his wife will not have a problem submitting, however, there should be mutual submission. Thanks for your videos! About a week ago I saw a video about feminism by Adina Walter on her channel that was very well done.
GREAT VIDEO JEANINE!!!! I AGREE WITH YOUR POINTS COMPLETELY!! THANK YOU SO MUCH DEAR SISTER FOR SHARING THIS WITH ME. SUBMISSION CAN BE DIFFICULT SOMETIMES, BUT IT IS SO WORTH IT!! SENDING LOVE AND PRAYERS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY 🥰❤️❌⭕️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💐
The greatest of these is love. Love GOD the Father, Jesus Christ our Savior and Holy Spirit our comforter. GOD gives us wisdom and understanding. Thank you for sharing. You have such a sweet, blessed family.
This video was very enlightening.I really enjoyed it.I would love for you to do more like this. Pick any topic and talk about it. In other words a good sermon from the Bible.
Thanks for this video Jeanine! I love your channel. I’m a young catholic woman and I agree this “woke” and hyper feminist culture is really toxic. I love your explanation behind head covering. God Bless you and your family
I’ve felt convicted to wear a head covering as a God fearing Christian woman. Some people joke about me or talk about it. My boss didn’t question it, my manager said no at first and that he’d check. After that it was smooth sailing. My work ethic and heart were what was seen instead of my appearance. Christian woman aren’t to be like other women but set apart for Christ. After a while people treated me like a normal person and have been good to me. God protects his own and to love Christ is the best gift of all and the Holy Spirit isn’t to be made a mockery of if he tells us what to do, we do it. Some things are harder than others to fix if you grew up in the world. But every chance towards being completely submissive to God has bettered my life. God bless you and your family sister. ❤
I do love your channel. I became interested in the Mennonite denomination after reading a wonderful book by Evelyn Miller, Feminine Beauty. So we were checking out the local Mennonite church and I was so disappointed, turns out it is a very "liberal" denomination, Mennonite Church USA. I see online there are over 50 different Mennonite denominations so some are much more conservative. They were promoting a woman Reverend on their Facebook page and other questionable things. I agree with you on all the points you spoke on today and I'm a 64yr old Baptist. Thank you for addressing these so honestly.
I believe God called me to cover my head as well. I been doing it for about a month now and I love it. I'm the only one around me that wears a head covering and my husband doesn't really understand it. 🥰 but I asked God how I can become closer to him and he put head covering on my ❤. Thank you for reminding me how important it is to show my husband respect and I'll gladly submit to him. I love being a stay at home house wife and believe this is what God intended for me! I pray my husband will believe from my acts since he doesn't believe God's work yet.🙏 Thank you!
You're a sweetheart! I think the world has caused strife in marriage due to both people having to work outside the home to make ends meet.Hugs from Missouri 🤗
I take the part where Paul says a woman's hair is her covering and feel that means I don't have to literally cover my hair with cloth, that my hair is my covering. I also have respect for women who do cover their hair. I agree with what you said about it not being a salvation issue. Salvation is grace by faith not works. I love your videos and your explanation of your beliefs.
I love these type of videos where you dive into scripture! I look forward to more. Wow, you really had some tough subjects to touch on in this one, but you did a beautiful job! I understand why Mennonite women believe in wearing a head covering. I think the part that is slightly confusing to me is why Mennonite women don’t cover their whole head. Maybe in a future video you may be able to clarify?? A lot of women you can’t tell unless they turn their head that they have a piece of cloth back there. Either way, I really am happy that you were able to dissect these scriptures a little for your viewers. It couldn’t have been an easy video to make. ❤️🙏🏼
I think that way of head covering is cultural and unique to anabaptists but I'm open to correction. Many Orthodox Christians and Christians living in the Middle East wear head coverings either in church only or always, and they have their own regional variations in how they cover.
Yes it's more of a cultural thing but a valid question and one I should ask myself. Is our culture obedient to this passage? One quick explanation, beside culture etc... we believe that long hair is a woman's glory, so that gets worn up and majority covered. Also we view it as a symbol, a religious symbol... because when one goes down this road of legalism where would you stop? Are we required to cover the entire head and face? Maybe? I believe it's the concept and symbolism that's important as anyone that looks at me knows it's likely religious (Jewish men wear small caps to 'cover but neither is it completely covering.) It's a religious practice. However I'm open to be corrected as I think your point is valid. Cheers.
@@theMennoniteMom Thank you for answering! I don’t know where it all stops or begins either. I live with my 19 year old daughter, and the church that we were attending before Covid was definitely a lot more relaxed in how they view things compared to how she and I personally felt convicted with different issues. It is considered a Cooperative Baptist church... which we later found out is almost borderline nondenominational. Although we kept attending, there were passages that convicted us personally (for example, we started observing sabbath in our home, stopped watching things on tv that weren’t faith based or listening to music that isn’t faith based, etc.), and we also stopped cutting our hair. We have personally wrestled with whether or not we should actually cover our hair, but we kept going back to our hair is our glory as well. So when you posted this video I was very interested to hear your point of view because we are very open minded, and I am curious how some people only partially cover their hair. Not from a judgement standpoint, but in the sense that I want to gain all the knowledge I can on how to glorify God. I love that people can look at you and know you have strong religious beliefs. We have been living a more simple life, and just want to continue to grow in faith. I’m not worried about what others think about me really, but I am very worried about respecting God. ❤️
I was raised Mennonite but now am Church of the Brethren. Nevertheless, our family is more plain than the folks around us. A personal relationship with Jesus is the most important part of life.
Thank you so much lovely for sharing such powerful message that really needed in this wicked generation. May i asked when women covered their heads does it have to cover the whole head? your reply will be much appreciated. May Ya Bless you my beautiful sister in the faith 🙏
This video is amazing sister keep it up! I couldn't have said it better myself. Finny kuruvilla head covering series on TH-cam also has great points on this topic.
Thans you!! It was always a difficult thing for me, so thanks for explaining. Greetings from the Netherlands, it is here usual in the reformed churches to wear head covering.

I'm an atheist but I appreciate your perspective and all the hard work you put into your videos. I know you've been having a really hard time lately, so I extra appreciate the effort!
I'm honored you're here! Thanks for your support
Thank you for being kind to believers, we do wish you to have an experience with Christ but I appreciate your attitude.
I tell you what young lady I’m 63 and I will be watching this video many times over! What knowledge God has given you!
I am 56 , and I will also be 🥰
I absolutly love your explantion of the haïr dreese and respecte for your husband and soumission 💝
As someone who had attempted to address this highly controversial topic, I can appreciate your courage and the behind the scenes work (research) that went into this video. I tell myself if I don't get backlash in this day and age I'm doing something wrong😏😏😎great job addressing this sensitive stuff👍👍👍
I greatly enjoyed your video! Keep it up!
@@theMennoniteMom awe thankyou❤
absolutely!
Whoa!!! All I can say is I did not know I needed that talk, BUT I DID. Thank you. I hope you do more of this-pick a topic, read from the bible and teach, I LOVED THIS and I really did not want to click on it but I did and gave it a few moments but found myself watching the whole thing easily and happily, I learned so much!
I'm happy it was enjoyable. It's a hard subject and one I prayed God would help me cover graciously. Thanks for being here
@@theMennoniteMom I greatly appreciated the video as well. I really needed to hear everything that was said. Thank you.
YES!!! 👍 When I began covering my head it was just a simple conviction that I felt strongly to obey after reading 1 Corinthians 11 one morning. I thought it would be a simple change in my life. I thought it would simply tell others whom I love, submit to, and serve in an outward way. I had NO clue that this simple obedience would completely change my heart, my home, and the trajectory of my life! Once I showed God that I would cast off my pride and my vanity to obey Him, He opened the flood gates of spiritual blessings. He has given me opportunities to discover my gifts and to use them to serve Him and others in ways I could not have even imagined before. My marriage is 1000x stronger, my husband has risen to the challenge in such a beautiful way, and my children are falling into place right behind us. Small obedience can spell big blessings. Now I know that nothing is too small or insignificant for God to use. Thank you so much for sharing this message with us women!! This world desperately needs more women of conviction and faith. Love you Sister! You are salt & light! ❤
Well said and Amen! ❤
Did you read the part of 1Corinthians 11 That says a woman’s long hair is her covering? Need to read all not pick and choose verses.
I love your testimony, thanks for sharing your beautiful story
@@phyllissweetpea4926 I believe that is my covering! They don't use the verse at the end of the chapter where it says there was no practice of it. Anabaptist actually didn't wear head covering in the beginning. I'm not sure exactly when Mennonites started to.
@@phyllissweetpea4926 look at the Greek and you will see the hair is not the covering being discussed.
As a fellow mennonite, I agree completely with the mentality that we put the head covering too high. I feel very convicted to wear a visible head covering, but it does not get me a free card into heaven. We need a personal relationship with the Lord❤
Think of headcovering as a crown for a daughter of the King of the Universe, a physical symbol of a spiritual protection. The headcovering is also an accountability tool, just like my beard (Leviticus 19:27) and the tassels of Numbers 15:38-40 and Deuteronomy 22:12. The tassels/tzitzyot were life changing for me in taking thoughts captive better. Headcovering is also about reclaiming lady hood in this Jezebel culture.
Amen
@@messianichebrewshawnkawcak1550 it's also quite often a door opener to the world. I've on more than on occasion had the question asked, why I wear the covering?
@@mamamode1312 absolutely, headcovering and modesty are very powerful tools to resisting the pull of the world. When I wear my tunic (down to my ankles I hate pants) and tallit I feel more spiritually aware of what’s around me. Embracing tassels was life changing for me in taking thoughts captive better, a reminder of the need for a covenant lifestyle.
@@mamamode1312 you mean in starting conversations with people? I have found wearing my tallit (prayer shawl) has gotten me into some very interesting conversation, even had people ask me for prayer.
I enjoyed this so much! I cringe when I hear a group of women bashing/complaining about/making fun of their husbands😬 But I can't help but smile when I don't join in those conversations, and think of all the wonderful ways my husband loves me.
I am guilty of doing this but watching her discuss the issue has opened my eyes..a break through.
@@apcadd80 same 🤦🏻♀️😞
I have never understood why, in the mennonite faith, you cover your head at all times. When you explained that the bible directs you to pray without ceasing, and it does, then you believe that you should have your head covered at all times. Now I understand why you do this and it makes total sense. In our church our practice is to cover you head during worship service. We don't cover our heads for our mid-week bible study meeting because it is not worship service. You do a great job explaining things where everyone can understand this very complicated subject. When you explain submission in the husband/wife relationship it is so beautiful. After 52 years of being blessed to have a god filled marriage listening to you makes me cry. My husband has been such a devoted husband and father. It doesn't bother me at all to say "whatever you think is best". I find myself constantly saying "what should I do in this or that situation". My greatest joy is telling someone what a wonderful husband I have and what a wonderful father he has been. I just love you more when you present a video to us like this one.
As a born again Christian woman I don't personally wear a covering, but I love hearing your viewpoint! And I'm so glad you talked about submission, I feel like it's so important to talk about what it truly means and not what the world says it is!
Thank you so much for this video!! I have been convicted of dressing plain and covering my head. I enjoyed hearing your point of view and the scriptures.
Blessings to you sister.
I so appreciate your focus on how love and respect are both so important for submission to work. Both for the husband and wife. Your love for the Lord is so encouraging. I’m nodding my head through this whole video! I’m with the Evangelical Free Church and am delighted to meet such a wonderful sister in the Lord. I see your perspective on wearing a head covering and I’m glad you don’t seem to judge those who have a different viewpoint. I really think we would have a great visit together over tea and have a special prayer time together.
Love the words ' your born an original dont die a copy '
me too -- I just hope I remember it so I can use it in the future!!
This is wonderful. Yes when men are fulfilling their roll in Christ, it is so easy to "let" him lead in love. Amen. I agree with the head covering. At home I do not pray without my head being covered. I'm still working on keeping it covered all day. God help me. Amen.
Toataly agree that our Salvation is in Jesus Christ not in a Head Covering. ❤🙏❤🙏
Thank you so much for talking about this very touchy subject! God bless you!
I have to agree. We can not judge a person or woman if she’s a true Christian if her head is not covered. Being a Christian is excepting Jesu as our Savior n having a personal relationship with Him. Head coverings or not.
As a fellow Christian I agree !
Our salvation is in Jesus, but Jesus says those who love me obey me. Just wondering if it says it on the Bible, shouldn’t we follow that?
@@abideintheword. Did you ever notice, it's only mentioned one time, yet things that are mentioned Often like judging others or gossip as sin are very stressed. Growing up as a Mennonite, judging and gossip was very prominent, why wouldn't a person obey those? I believe if something God spoke a lot it is of more importance!
This is better than any sermon that i've ever heard in a church in my life! I wish preachers would just break it down like this! I think so many more people would understand so much more this way!! GREAT job at addressing this sensitive topic! I would love to hear you address the issue of an "unGodly" husband and a Godly wife and vice versa on this topic!
This was probably my favorite video I have seen on TH-cam! I never gave head coverings any thought until recently. I have been praying for God's guidance on this topic and have had several conversations with my preacher recently. Thank you for your insight and willingness to share your faith and heart!
Praise God! I will pray you will find peace in your decision 🙏 Blessings as you seek His heart!
Thank you for taking the time to share! You did a great job covering this topic. May God bless you for being willing to share on this. Have a great weekend!
Thank you. When I listen to you, and your wisdom, I do feel truely blessed. Our backgrounds are so different but I believe our core beliefs are fundamentally the same. Also, your little quote of “you were born an individual, don’t die a copy” will be passed on to my sons - such a simple but powerful piece of advice. Thank you again
You are very well versed Jeannine. This was a very informative and interesting explanation of your beliefs and faith. You and Nolan are truly blessed. Howard W.
Love love love this video!!! I could watch it so many times and still keep learning from it. I feel like you just put into words how I’ve been feeling towards me wearing my head covering, God wants me to wear it. Thank you so much!!
Thank you and God bless!
Love you channel And love your energy.I am not a Mennonite And I would say I'm a struggling Christian.And I have found Happiness And encouragement In your words Thank you for sharing you with all of us much love
Hugs and prayers! I'm honored to have you here! Keep looking to Him! He'll get you through.
Your view on everything. Just amen 🙏. Thank you! I feel many of my prayers are answered! I'm glad God brought me to you 🥰❤🥰
This is my new favorite video that you have done. I can see both sides of the head covering interpretation as well. I often pray for discernment and clarity. Your head coverings are beautiful and so was the scriptural explanation. Thank you for opening your heart to us. All your videos are wonderful, but I hope to see more like this as well.❤
Thank you kindly! God bless
Wow that was so wonderful, I started feeling I should wear a head covering when at church and when praying for the last few months, as a new Christian it’s like a mine field out there with so many opinions and interpretations and in the uk woman don’t seam to wear head coverings as much. So I found this very helpful. You made it simple to follow and understand which is a blessing as some make thing so confusing. I’m still trying to find a head covering that will stay put when I’m moving around a lot as they don’t like to stay put on my head. Thank you so much for sharing this. Glory to God 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Good for you, I'm sure it's difficult! And yes, it can be hard to keep them on, especially if you have straight hair!
Wig clips are small, inexpensive and easy to stitch in and are super secure. They slide into the hair and then clamp and grip when you snap them down.
@@marcellacruser951 thank you! yes I found them and sewed them in to my covers much better now they stay put. 🙏🏻
I used to put my confidence in my appearance... After being convicted about outward modesty, my hair was the only thing I had that made me feel beautiful and attractive but when I found a video about headcovering on tiny notes from home channel I was convicted to start covering and was honestly sad about it at first because I didn't realise that so much of my confidence came from how I felt about how I looked and my hair was all I had that made me feel pretty... But with time and experience covering I started to really have peace about it and now I find it uncomfortable without it and I also have not felt as beautiful as I do now wearing my covering. The Holy Spirit will help us
God bless you as you chose to do what you were convicted even though it was difficult!
Same story here! Thanks for sharing ❤️
Same here sister. Very beautiful to hear from you. Ya Bless!
I agree that it is so sad & childish for people to be so easily offended. Love one another. ❤️
Thank you sooo much for your sharing about marriage. I believe as well it is very sad how society is treating men. I also feel sorry for them! God asks us to honor our husbands forsure I know I struggle with this also but I have also been sooo very blessed when I have been obedient. Gods plans are the best he loves us and knows what is best for us!!!
Yes, it's not ashtrays easy for sure! I agree
God has been speaking to me a lot lately about starting to cover and your video has been a huge encouragement to me... thank you so much for sharing!
Spot on my friend! I love how you say that we like the notion of being a damsel in distress, I feel the closest to my husband when he sees something or someone who has been hurting me, he will lead me away from that hurt, defend and comfort me.❤️
Amen!
Be born an original don't die a copy!!
My favorite quote
This helped me so much! As a babe in christ ive been convicted to veil but ive been going back and fourth with this because of satan. And this solidified in my heart that im doing the right thing.
I LOVE your faith! God does call each of us! You're an inspiration to my young ladies here in this house, Thank you for sharing.
Thank you. And praise God he can work through me (: tell them I said Hi!
@@theMennoniteMom one of them dm'd you. She was so excited I said yes she could lol.
Thank you Jeanine, for using your influence online for such a Godly purpose. You have such a gentle persuasive way with words.
And I found your video to be an encouragement!
Thank you and God bless!
Thank you sweet sister. I appreciate your break down of those scriptures. What a blessing!
I love that you bring this up. I'm Pagan, I was raised Christian (German Lutheran), but I chose to be Pagan. It felt right in my heart. It is amazing to have a testimony of any sort, whether you are Christian, Pagan whatever religion you are. Which very clearly means, we probably don't have the same viewpoints, however, that doesn't mean I am going to quit watching. Why should I? Oh our religions don't match? Both of our faiths tell us that we are to be respectful of each other. It always floors me the people that just leave because oh, my viewpoint, religious viewpoint doesn't match up with said youtuber, or person. That is not how life should be. Just because I live my life differently, doesn't mean I expect everyone to have that same viewpoint. Its a great big world, and not everyone is going to believe the same way at all.
Jesus loves you💙th-cam.com/video/dT0w4w4qI3s/w-d-xo.html💙
Thank you so much for sharing this. I loved this. Very beautifully put. Your gentleness shines through. I felt called to cover a few years ago and have found so much joy, peace and comfor in it. And I feel way less attacked by the enemy. My mind is way more calm and at peace since covering. I'm assuming it has to do with the section about our covered heads being a symbol of us being under authority to angles in 1 Cor 11:10?
Covering has really helped me to humble myself, especially in a world of looks and outward appearances meaning so much, which sadly is even in the church. We are called to be set apart, different, unusual, spotless, and blamelesss, not look and act like the world around us. I was called out publicly for it in church from the pulpit which was so embarrassing, but I didn't let it get to me too much becuase people have been taught differently. And yes, when God called me to cover, I struggled with the feminismic attitude of not wanting to humble myself under my husband. I grew up in the church and had never known anyone to cover and never heard teaching on it, so I can see how people simply don't understand it. Yes I agree, in my research I studied 1 Cor 11 for months and months. Especailly looking into the meanings in Greek.
The word for covering in 1 Corthians 11:4, 5,6,7, 13, is the word, katakalýptō, from katá, "down, and kalýptō, "to cover"-cover down, to make appropriate (complete), i.e. to wear a veil.
It is the same root word used for the veil that separated the Holy of holies from the priests. It is clearly taking about a peice of fabric.(Matt 27:51)
The same word is used in 2 Cor 3:13. "not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face so that the Israelites might not gaze at the outcome of what was being brought to an end."
But vrs 15 does NOT use the same word for covering. Vrs 15. "but if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair is given to her for a covering."
This is a different word for "cover"= "peribolaion," that which is thrown around or a mantel that can be thrown around (As in when a women tosses or throws her hair around, or a mantel that rest on the shoulders and drapes around the body. So hair is considered long if it goes past her shoulders to cover her body). tossing the hair can be very alluring to men.
This is where we get the saying, "Let your hair down."
Up until only the last generation woman covered in Church. It was only during the sexual revolution that Chriatin women in North America stopped covering their heads. ALL of our grandmothers would have covered in church. This is why the Hutterites, Mennonites, Amish, orthodox churches, and messiniac Jews (Jews who beleive in Jesus), a lot of African congratations, etc still cover their hair.
Also, if hair is the covering, what does that mean for a man? Should he always have his head shaved bald? Or can he put on and take off his hair? No of course not. That makes no sense.
Godly biblical submission is a good thing and a blessing, I totally agree. We are to imitate Christ, and He was submissive unto God's will, even unto death.
Paul also says that the veil or covering is a symbol to who, the angels? Why, because angles can't read our hearts and minds but they can see a headcovering and it shows that we are.gollowong God's ordainer order, which Satan did not submit to.
We are not supposed to be like the world. Thank you so much for sharing.
This is exactly what I needed to hear on this very day. I do not believe it would have helped me if I had watched this video yesterday. Thank you for sharing God's Word with us.
Janene Thank you. I was so blessed by your message. I also loved the video of you and your husband’s teaching. I was raised Baptist. I have been away from the church for a long time. I’m really feeling drawn to return. I just wanted to say Thank you. Much love to your family and the new addition. Congratulations!
Blessings to you as you seek God's plan for you
So cool! My culture long hair is sacred, an extension of our nervous system. When you read that passage thats what i thought of and thank you for sharing. You are a beautiful woman of god and its inspiring.
Thanks for sharing and thanks to God you find encouragement on our channels.
Thank you so much for this.. I have the utmost respect for you. Again, thank you for all the time and prayer you put into making this. 👍
Thank you kindly.
Thank you for the inspiration!! As a fellow Mennonite I commend you for your honesty about the headship covering in itself being right next to salvation to some. My husband and I also see this as a concern within some of the Mennonites groups. The scriptures were well explained about the headship covering...And I appreciate your insight on how detrimental it is for wives to degrade their husbands. Thanks for all the hard work you put into this video! It’s very helpful and worthwhile!! Blessings 💓
4 mins into the video and i just wanna pop in real quick to say how much I love your intro.
Thank you!
I loved this. :)
Felt like you were mentoring me. Just like Paul said that women should do for younger women... This is amazing
Thank you for teaching me how to be a good Christian woman
Thank you
SO HAPPY I FOUND YOUR CHANNEL...THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR HEART AND YOU EXPLAIN THINGS VERY WELL...BLESSINGS JEN
Love this. All of this. Thank you for sharing your heart and truth! It was needed❤
Thank you
What a wonderful scriptural teaching. You have really studied and know your Bible.
I just love your videos. They are so calming and beautiful! Thank you for the work you do.
Stumbled upon this video today and what a blessing. I love hearing you speak. I will subscribe
I'm honored to have you here!
I am thrilled to hear someone else with exactly the same thoughts and feelings as me on every point made in this video. I am the only one in my church that wears a head covering, not that I would judge them and they don't judge me, we are very caring and respectful of one another, it is beautiful that my Christian brothers and sisters accept me as I am and we value each others differing opinions on the subject of submission as well as other things. Like you have said in another video God's word is controversial. Thank you for such wonderfully explained content.
Thanks for sharing!
I am Orthodox ,and so agree with many things you said. We cover our heads in the Church,as part of our tradition, long time ago , married woman would always covered her head in public
Jeanine, you did a wonderful job of sharing why you head cover. I'm working on my Video now because it has been one year since I started head covering.
Good for you!!
I just came across your channel today as my husband and I are digging into the Anabaptist faith and thank you so much for your wonderful videos! You have such a beautiful and wonderful way on explaining topics (even ones that can be sensitive such as this) in a humble and meaningful way.❤
Thank you for that and may God bless you richly!
Thank you so much!@@theMennoniteMom
I never thought about it until you just said something about hair covering my Grandmother was Baptist and while She was Alive She Had long hair and She always had it Some Kind Of Net Or Something like It. Wen She Got Leukemia Cancer She Lost Alot Of Her Hair. But She Never Gave Up Believing In JESUS
That's interesting
Love your channel ❤️😍 if people could agree to disagree the world would be a much better place. Very informative ty for that.
Thank you kindly
Very beautifully done, very much appreciated even though we also and believe in covering our head, it was still educational for me👍🏼❤️👍🏼
I cover too.
I’ve been watching Mennonite youtubers for about 6 months out of curiosity at first, and then because I appreciate the clean christian influence it’s been having in my life. I have been intrigued to discover it “feels” better to pray with something over my head (like a scarf or hood). Fascinating! Thanks for the time you took to make this video. I really enjoyed it.
PTL we can be an encouragement! God bless you!
I really enjoyed listening to this! Definitely worth my while to listen to the whole thing.
As a fellow mennonite myself, I agree with everything you shared. Especially with the part of how head covering isn't to be held higher than salvation thru Jesus. ♡
I am a young, liberal Muslim convert, as I found this message to be the one that describes my life and values the best. Nevertheless, us as Christians and Muslims do believe in the same God and thus I agree with many of the things you said and found a lot of myself in there. The interpretation of a woman's place in life has been a huge problem in Islamic tradition as well and I hope many more people of different faiths watched your video. Thanks so much for this encouraging, faithful video!!!
As a fellow Mennonite I loved your video and agree 100%! It was also a very good refresher for me on why I believe as I do! Thank you!
I absolutely loved how you handled the topics of head covering, submission & Godly order. The Spirit was certainly speaking through you with such love & humility. Our church, the Apostolic Christian Church of America, also practices wearing of the head covering by the converted women. You did an awesome job of explaining the Bible verses pertaining to this subject. You also did a great job in discussing Godly submission of wives to their husbands, and the husband's love & respect for his wife. Today's society does not want to hear about Godly submission. Their eyes are blinded & their hearts are hardened with pride. I enjoy all of your videos. You speak with such love for the Lord & for your family. Keep the videos coming! May God richly bless you!
I enjoyed this video. I love hearing you share your faith. We all can learn from each other. God has a plan for each of us. We just need to get busy finding out what our individual job is and not worry about What someone else’s job is. If I follow Gods plan I won’t have time to mess in the business of others. I’m proud to be in submission to my husband because no one but God loves me and wants greater things for me than my husband. Be blessed and love your family and channel.
I got so much out of this video. Really uplifted me. Not a Mennonite but Pentecostal so I am conservative in my beliefs. I needed to hear from someone else who follows the teachings of the Bible on this platform. Thank you. Greatly considering the head covering..
I'm not a Mennonite lady however I thank God that I found this talk. I have felt like God has been drawing me to the headcovering. I was looking for someone that spoke it from a biblical manner
Thankyou for helping me find my way with this .God bless you and your family.
Thank you for boldly sharing the word of God in love and in humility. Blessings to you and to your family.
Whether or not to wear a head covering is something that I have been wrestling with for several years. I do not know anyone personally who wears a head covering. I know several women who at one time wore head coverings but no longer do. For the last several months the Lord has really been speaking to me. I watched your video and felt led to start wearing a head covering. Thank you for your video. May God bless you.
God bless you as you follow His leading. It's not easy when you choose to go it alone. Sending you hugs!
Thank you so much for this video. I would view this topic differently, but really appreciate hearing your why. You can really see your heart and the conviction you have to cover your head. I love to hear when mennonites do this for The Lord rather than just because it's a traditional act. Anyways, love your videos♡
God is glorified by this video.
I am so blessed by your channel, and appreciate all of your hard work!
Great job explaining this sensitive topic. Bless you.
Yes! So glad for this voice of truth in the dark mixed up world we are in. And it has also bothered me how quick our Mennonite culture is to judge a non covering woman as not living right. I am saddened when the practice is dropped. By God's grace I want to teach my daughters the why and what's behind it, but NOT the idea that the practice is almost your salvation. You did a great job on this Jeanine!
Loved this video. As a christian, I have picked up a few things that I have not practiced.
Being in the grips of depression I just started scanning TH-cam and ran across your channel…
God was truly guiding me today 🙏
Thank you for making your videos to help me today 🥰
I'm so sorry to hear. I will pray for you, that you can be healed. Depression is a horrible thing. Sending hugs!
Thank you for all the work you do to post your videos.
To all who want true peace, true hope and true joy; it is found only in Jesus. He paid our sin debt in full on Calvary. He made Heaven very simple, acknowledge the fact that we are all sinners, we are all in need a Savior. Call upon him today for salvation, it is the only way to heaven.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Please call upon Jesus today.
I find the next verse powerful too: For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
John 3:17
Jesus offers us Salvation not condemnation. 😊🙏
Really appreciate your comments on relation of honor between husband and wife, and the destructive attacks on men and masculinity. Blessings on you!
I love your videos, but this was by far my favorite. Although I am not Mennonite I find myself agreeing with you on all issues. I'm giving more thought to covering my head now that I understand it better.
I have learned over the years that when people ask questions about why I dress the way I do my reply to them Is that It’s because I follow and believe in the scriptures concerning modesty in the Bible. Then I state “but what’s more important is salvation and what God did for us so we can be filled with his spirit.” My reasoning for doing this is because the Bible talks about how the carnal man doesn’t understand spiritual things but when a person turns his life over to God and is filled with his spirit they will do it because they have a changed heart and love God. I’m thankful for christians who live for God and are not intimidated by worldly views. Thank you for your video !!!
- Bernice Kroner
Thank you very much sister in Christ I totally agree with this I'm a Christian and we read the Bible and it's so nice to hear from you I always watching your videos it's a blessing to me keep up the good work and wish you all the best God bless you and your family🙏💝
I bet you make a fantastic friend. I don't live anywhere close to my friends (military lifestyle has lead me away from many of my closest friends and now that the moves are over, I haven't found my person since being settled now for over 4yrs. It's hard as I don't drink, don't smoke, don't watch tv/movies/listen to modern music...people shut me out so pray for God to put a friend in place for me soon)
Loved this video very much. The video clips of Nolan and Xander were sweet and the growling chihuahua cracked me up.
He wants you for Himself. HE and the saints are your friends and you have so many!!!!!
I'm sorry. I'm sure constantly moving has its challenges when making friends! I pray you find a good friend soon!
I just wanted you to know that I just watched this video today and I really appreciate it it was so very informative I've been wondering more about the head coverings and didn't even know where to go to get those answers and you answered a lot of those for me today and you did so biblically which I really appreciate it's given me a lot to think about I just found your channel today and I'm very happy I did you're very inspiring thank you God bless
I really appreciate your honest and transparent message, rooted in scripture and full of encouragement!
My goodness, I've never heard this explained so well. Thank you for enlightening me.
I loved your long speech! I see the headcovering as necessary for public worship so I don’t cover my head everyday; however I really respect those that cover all the time. I agree with everything you said so well, but I would add that for those women that have difficult husbands and for all us wives when it’s hard to be submissive that little phrase Eph 5:22 “...as unto the Lord”, is so very helpful! Not my will but His be done, to please my Lord who submitted to so much to save His people. God bless you and your little family.
Loved this video, as a Christian, it is easy to submit yourself spiritually to someone who loves you more than themselves. Husbands have a great responsibility, biblically to put his wife above himself. In contrast as a wife we are to be a help to our husbands. When practiced biblically, it is a beautiful team who always have each other's back. Love in Christ is so much more fulfilling than, the way the world teaches. Christ's love is not based on feelings or emotions but rather devotion and practice. Lust can fade and feelings change but a love founded on respect, deeds, and unconditional feelings is life long and doesn't fade.
Love this.
When I studied this topic 7 years ago, what made sence to me was that its not just wroten to the Corinthians, it also says to all believers.
Excellently done! You are so thorough in researching and explaining the hard issues! My husband, a former Mennonite pastor, says that if a husband lives and follows God’s word and treats his wife as he should, his wife will not have a problem submitting, however, there should be mutual submission. Thanks for your videos! About a week ago I saw a video about feminism by Adina Walter on her channel that was very well done.
GREAT VIDEO JEANINE!!!! I AGREE WITH YOUR POINTS COMPLETELY!! THANK YOU SO MUCH DEAR SISTER FOR SHARING THIS WITH ME. SUBMISSION CAN BE DIFFICULT SOMETIMES, BUT IT IS SO WORTH IT!! SENDING LOVE AND PRAYERS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY 🥰❤️❌⭕️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💐
The greatest of these is love. Love GOD the Father, Jesus Christ our Savior and Holy Spirit our comforter. GOD gives us wisdom and understanding. Thank you for sharing. You have such a sweet, blessed family.
This is the first video of this channel that I have seen and it’s great 👏 🙌 I agree with everything you have said here, beautiful strong message. 😊❤
Thank you, and welcome here! God bless
This video was very enlightening.I really enjoyed it.I would love for you to do more like this. Pick any topic and talk about it. In other words a good sermon from the Bible.
Thank you. Hubby and I plan to do this more.
Thanks for this video Jeanine! I love your channel. I’m a young catholic woman and I agree this “woke” and hyper feminist culture is really toxic. I love your explanation behind head covering. God Bless you and your family
As and LDS feminist woman I also agree. 3rd wave "feminism" and even extremist feminists from the 60's did women no favors
I’ve felt convicted to wear a head covering as a God fearing Christian woman. Some people joke about me or talk about it. My boss didn’t question it, my manager said no at first and that he’d check. After that it was smooth sailing. My work ethic and heart were what was seen instead of my appearance. Christian woman aren’t to be like other women but set apart for Christ. After a while people treated me like a normal person and have been good to me. God protects his own and to love Christ is the best gift of all and the Holy Spirit isn’t to be made a mockery of if he tells us what to do, we do it. Some things are harder than others to fix if you grew up in the world. But every chance towards being completely submissive to God has bettered my life. God bless you and your family sister. ❤
I do love your channel. I became interested in the Mennonite denomination after reading a wonderful book by Evelyn Miller, Feminine Beauty. So we were checking out the local Mennonite church and I was so disappointed, turns out it is a very "liberal" denomination, Mennonite Church USA. I see online there are over 50 different Mennonite denominations so some are much more conservative. They were promoting a woman Reverend on their Facebook page and other questionable things.
I agree with you on all the points you spoke on today and I'm a 64yr old Baptist. Thank you for addressing these so honestly.
Thank you for sharing. It is not the teaching of my church that women cover their head, but you have given me much to think about.
I believe God called me to cover my head as well. I been doing it for about a month now and I love it. I'm the only one around me that wears a head covering and my husband doesn't really understand it. 🥰 but I asked God how I can become closer to him and he put head covering on my ❤. Thank you for reminding me how important it is to show my husband respect and I'll gladly submit to him. I love being a stay at home house wife and believe this is what God intended for me! I pray my husband will believe from my acts since he doesn't believe God's work yet.🙏 Thank you!
Good for you! God bless as you serve Him!
You're a sweetheart! I think the world has caused strife in marriage due to both people having to work outside the home to make ends meet.Hugs from Missouri 🤗
I would agree with that. It's best when one can be at home, but not always possible
I take the part where Paul says a woman's hair is her covering and feel that means I don't have to literally cover my hair with cloth, that my hair is my covering. I also have respect for women who do cover their hair. I agree with what you said about it not being a salvation issue. Salvation is grace by faith not works. I love your videos and your explanation of your beliefs.
Corinthians Faith without works is dead.
@@HosCreates for by grace are you saved by faith, not of works lest any man should boast
I love these type of videos where you dive into scripture! I look forward to more. Wow, you really had some tough subjects to touch on in this one, but you did a beautiful job! I understand why Mennonite women believe in wearing a head covering. I think the part that is slightly confusing to me is why Mennonite women don’t cover their whole head. Maybe in a future video you may be able to clarify?? A lot of women you can’t tell unless they turn their head that they have a piece of cloth back there. Either way, I really am happy that you were able to dissect these scriptures a little for your viewers. It couldn’t have been an easy video to make. ❤️🙏🏼
I think that way of head covering is cultural and unique to anabaptists but I'm open to correction. Many Orthodox Christians and Christians living in the Middle East wear head coverings either in church only or always, and they have their own regional variations in how they cover.
Yes it's more of a cultural thing but a valid question and one I should ask myself. Is our culture obedient to this passage? One quick explanation, beside culture etc... we believe that long hair is a woman's glory, so that gets worn up and majority covered. Also we view it as a symbol, a religious symbol... because when one goes down this road of legalism where would you stop? Are we required to cover the entire head and face? Maybe? I believe it's the concept and symbolism that's important as anyone that looks at me knows it's likely religious (Jewish men wear small caps to 'cover but neither is it completely covering.) It's a religious practice. However I'm open to be corrected as I think your point is valid. Cheers.
@@theMennoniteMom Thank you for answering! I don’t know where it all stops or begins either. I live with my 19 year old daughter, and the church that we were attending before Covid was definitely a lot more relaxed in how they view things compared to how she and I personally felt convicted with different issues. It is considered a Cooperative Baptist church... which we later found out is almost borderline nondenominational. Although we kept attending, there were passages that convicted us personally (for example, we started observing sabbath in our home, stopped watching things on tv that weren’t faith based or listening to music that isn’t faith based, etc.), and we also stopped cutting our hair. We have personally wrestled with whether or not we should actually cover our hair, but we kept going back to our hair is our glory as well. So when you posted this video I was very interested to hear your point of view because we are very open minded, and I am curious how some people only partially cover their hair. Not from a judgement standpoint, but in the sense that I want to gain all the knowledge I can on how to glorify God. I love that people can look at you and know you have strong religious beliefs. We have been living a more simple life, and just want to continue to grow in faith. I’m not worried about what others think about me really, but I am very worried about respecting God. ❤️
Just finished this and wanted to say u did an excellent job!
I was raised Mennonite but now am Church of the Brethren. Nevertheless, our family is more plain than the folks around us. A personal relationship with Jesus is the most important part of life.
Throughly enjoyed this video. I would love to see more. I think in these troubling times we need as much fellowship in Christ we can get.🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
Thank you so much lovely for sharing such powerful message that really needed in this wicked generation. May i asked when women covered their heads does it have to cover the whole head? your reply will be much appreciated. May Ya Bless you my beautiful sister in the faith 🙏
This video is amazing sister keep it up! I couldn't have said it better myself. Finny kuruvilla head covering series on TH-cam also has great points on this topic.
Thans you!! It was always a difficult thing for me, so thanks for explaining. Greetings from the Netherlands, it is here usual in the reformed churches to wear head covering.
