Ah I concur! I’m quite a Zealot so I find most of my foul language comes in when my LORD is blasphemed openly by others. Then my tongue becomes sharp as a double edged sword. I ask the Holy Spirit to immediately convict me-as sometimes my speech is so quick, I say it before the thought has even fully formed in my mind. We are not alone sisters, let the LORD bind our tongues for his GLORY! Amen and Shalom to all! 🙏✝️❤️
FEEDING on the Word is transformative. Psalm 18.30 As for God, his way is perfect: The LORD’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him. Also, focussing on his names in scripture.

I totally get that. I think she's not talking about leggings worn in a modest way. I wore leggings a LOT during pregnancy during every day life. I was a bit uncomfortable with it at times because of it being immodest, but most of them were cheap/free and comfortable. Next pregnancy (God-willing) I might invest in some good pregnancy pants.
I never left the house in yoga pants (unless actually going to workout or to yoga) prior to pregnancy. But unfortunately I've gotten into a rut. Running out of the house, leggings, extra long tee/sweatshirt/ sweater and out the door.
@@mindyd1985 I totally understand. Please don't feel like you're morally wrong. But if you're more in a "rut" because you don't like wearing yoga pants, or feel like you have nothing nice or that you like to wear, then I get that too. I feel like SO many women are in "clothing ruts" after having babies. Doing a capsule wardrobe intentionally was so helpful for me. I could pick out a "uniform" to wear to work or things for home, and in general not worry about my wardrobe for the next few months. Last year I talked with a friend about it when she told me she felt like she only had 2-3 pairs of pants she wore. You aren't alone
I went to a women’s Christian conferences that made you feel you needed the latest book, cd, etc, etc to be a part of the “sisterhood”. It just didn’t sit right with me at the time and I didn’t buy into it. So we need to be careful even with things that have a “Christian” label.
I have never felt compelled to purchase a book, a video, a tee shirt at a women’s conference . Some women enjoy those things, I don’t. I’m fine with speakers selling their books . Why should they not? Billy Graham sold his, Charles Stanley sold his.
@@sharondoan1447please research Billy Graham and other major Christian authors. Billy Graham did not write most of his books, but had a ghost writer. One of which was a closet homosexual Mel White. So promoting a book as your own, while deceiving the public is wrong.
@@sharondoan1447 it wasn’t the books etc that I felt uncomfortable with but rather the feeling I got that “I needed to be in the sisterhood or I might miss out on something”. I appreciated and enjoyed the messages to be honest and did buy the book of one of the speakers. I never did go again and the mega church that ran the conferences has been involved in very publicised scandals so the conferences don’t run anymore. Perhaps that speaks for itself and I don’t rejoice in that but feel deeply saddened as it turns people away from God, for whom the whole message is supposed to be about.
@@exodusmass4575 And you can prove your claim? I have no reason to credit you claim as truth. Do you have similar claims to make about other Christian authors or is Billy Graham the only target ?
I thought to myself, ‘I need to stop wearing yoga pants outside of the home,’ and then you brought it up! The Lord double confirming that one! Going to be a big change for me on that one!!
It's important to note that it's not the yoga pants that are the problem, it's what the yoga pants reveal. I've seen women look incredibly modest in yoga pants when they have a 3/4 length cardigan overtop. I've ALSO seen women in maxi dresses that were SO immodest. In one case, the dress was not tight or see-through, but, she had an ample "caboose", so as she moved, I could see everything jiggle. This was in church. I might be quite conservative in this, but I think we need to go back to cotton slips under our summer dresses.
I also had this conviction a few months back.. I decided if o was going to wear them(I like them because I find them more comfortable then jeans any day) I must only were them with a long loose fitting shirt so that my butt is covered and my shape isn’t complete standing out. Or I’ll use a loose t or something that might not be super long but I’ll wear a cardigan to cover more.
I'm so thankful I have found this channel. I feel like a weight is lifted off my shoulders. I feel this way about many of the things you said (ex. yoga pants without long jackets/shirts, not watching offending shows that have foul talk, etc.). Other Christians and people around me think I'm crazy. My H even thinks I'm going overboard. It is hard and stressful for me because I feel like I'm alone. But after seeing this, I'm feel so excited to learn more and have others perspectives about this in a biblical context. The Word is my guiding light. I want to respect Jesus. I'm certainly not perfect at all and need lots of help. This is such a breath of fresh air. I don't feel crazy anymore. I think this is exactly what the Bible teaches, but the modern church is just too easy on it. Thanks!
You are not crazy and you are not alone!! I feel the same way sometimes. Actually, many times. I have a burden to live my life in the world, not of the world. "Would I do/say/watch/listen to/etc. this if Jesus was sitting here with me?" He is my standard.
@@weezy516 Thanks for the support. I really appreciate that feedback. Also, great question .. what would I do if Jesus were sitting here with me? That's great. Thank you. I'm with you girl!!
It's true because we shouldn't be blaming other people of how they perceive US based on how we dress. If you're dressing half naked for the world to see and God forbid even the kids then it's just basically saying that we don't have any self-respect, and that they need constant validation even if it's the wrong type to feel good. I mean I don't want to be dressed up like the 1800s but at least cover up and not wearing something that is way too form-fitting.
I am always so surprised by how cussing is so contagious! If I am around co-workers using swear words, I'll find myself saying that word before the end of the day and didnt even intend to, it just came out my mouth. When I am around people who dont cuss either do I. I'd like to say watch out who you hang with but we cant always avoid the world. Please pray for me!
As a new Christian - former new-age witch - I am so grateful for your channel. Your biblically sound advice and guidance is so helpful 💚 thank you for making these videos!
1. Don't covet possessions 2. Guard your tongues (no swearing, no gossip, be kind with your words) 3. Dress modestly (no yoga pants in public. What are you bringing attention to?) 4. Don’t overspend 5. Don’t neglect your Discipleship
Every time I listen to you it brings more peace to me about my mentality and that I’m doing something right when others think I’m weird or crazy because I’m not “cool” with my hair and clothes and the vehicle I drive. Thank you!
I was just praying the other day I need to be closer to God, and the answer was to die to myself and take up my cross daily. This video just confirmed it. Thank you

Discipleship! Yes, that is definately where I am lacking and finding that it is lacking all around me. Even in my church. No real fellowship with each other unless you are in a particular group of folks. I am not finding good friends, I am not being a disciple at all, and not much gathering with others. I feel very isolated. This was a great video for me today.
Amen. I also am finding it hard to find other believers willing to talk and pray about these things. I am praying for Holy Spirit to lead me Gods Kingdom kinship.
Excellent message Heidi. I think a lot of us needed to hear this. I want to change my spending and thinking habits. I know I'm not pleasing God right now.
Wow. The Lord has spoken to me very recently on probably all 5 topics and He just used you to confirm that in fact yes it was Him. Thank you. May God continually bless you.
Yes…Consumerism can be a problem, with some. Me included on occasion. 😜 I think that’s an area that needs to be constantly addressed as a Christian reminder, not to go down that path. Thank you for your Godly inspirations!!! ✝️🙏🕊️💜✝️
So glad you brought these 5 things up. I’m a minimalist, and find it so freeing to not have too many possessions. You are so right! Words are powerful, so we have to be careful of what comes out of our mouths. The yoga pants comments made me lol. If you are going to wear yoga pants, at least wear a long shirt to cover up, right!
Thank you for openly speaking on these topics. It is so easy to get carried away on many of these things as we live here on earth. It is good to pause and remember what the Bible says and what God calls us to.
I came across your channel "by accident". God bless you for the content you put here. You've told me a few hard truths so far, but it was as if I heard the Father say, "Listen to her, child." Thank you for the God-centred, Word focused, healthy advice and the loving way in which you deliver it.
I am so happy that I fell upon your videos. This is the second one I have seen and I have subscribed because I dearly LOVE the truth you speak! Even though I know these things and agree wholeheartedly, I am very blessed to hear them spoken out loud. I look back on my years of being a Christian and see how God has been molding me and teaching me every step of the way. I am a senior now and still have areas to improve on....even ones I am not aware of yet, but God is merciful to me as he shows me areas he wants to mold in me. Staying in his Word everyday has been the sandpaper to my rough edges. Thank you for you. xxx God bless you.
I love that I have found the community you described in the 5th topic. I am surrounded by amazing women that help me in my walk and am so involved in my church now! I've come so far since I first found yall last year!
Thank you, Heidi for sharing this. I have been on a health journey and have lost a significant amount of weight (I still have a ways to go. I want to honor God in all areas of my life and this has been a hard trek. I struggle with the shopping bug with the excuse that I need to replace this or that. I would love for you to expound on being good stewardship on how to be frugal and wise even in our wardrobes. Honestly, I would love a series on all the points you touched on!
Ouch, ouch and ouch...Thank you for these suggests...God is convicting me now...But in a good good way...Thank you for teaching us....Thank you God, Thank you Jesus! ✝️🙏🙌
From God directly: ”I gave you lovely jewelry, bracelets, beautiful necklaces, a ring for your nose, earrings for your ears, and a lovely crown for your head. And so you were adorned with gold and silver. Your clothes were made of fine linen and costly fabric and were beautifully embroidered. You ate the finest foods-choice flour, honey, and olive oil-and became more beautiful than ever. You looked like a queen, and so you were!“ Ezekiel 16:11-13
I totally agree. I felt like the nose piercing was a slap in the face and hypocritical. She gives one scripture below which would seem to justify her wearing a nose piercing, but there are plenty more that do not. Exodus 21:6 then his master must take him before the judges. He shall take him to the door or the doorpost and pierce his ear with an awl. Then he will be his servant for life. It should be noted that context is important. What does a nose piercing symbolize today? Certainly not what was indicated in Ezekiel 11-16. A nose piercing in our culture, represents rebelliousness and non-conformity. And this is how she portrays herself in general in seeking to correct others, but not following that rule herself. Pretty narcissistic in my opinion. We are told to avoid even the APPEARANCE of EVIL by our actions, that it could be misinterpreted by others. 1 Thess 5:22 “Abstain from all appearance of evil.” She failed the test on this one. And walking around in slovenly t-shirt and sweater? Where's the dress? We are not to dress like men.
Women upset over yoga pants and I am just over here like, she came for my pumpkins! :) Kidding of course. Thank you Heidi for saying what so many think. Your channel is a blessing!
Thank you for laying it all out.. i needed this and im sure many are going to feel the same.. God bless you and everyone who comes arcoss this comment..❤
Thats true :) im wearing especially summertime sport/jogging pants maybe someone sees them as yoga pants. i tried to be very carefull when bought those, there were no else available at that time when bought those and dont really want spend much time to buy clothes, and then i try to cover with long shirts my waterline or with skirt :) i even try to cover my front with scarf almost always :) because dont really want to be any temptation to anyone. but how we dress can be a issue of how much money do we have to spend clothes, so i try to avoid judge people how they dress and try to focus more whats inside rather then outside :) Bless you! :)
This was a really great and edifying video. I love how you are able to speak truth while maintaining a good level of grace and understanding. Your videos always speak to me and bring conviction and encouragement! I definitely need to work on my spending habits and how I speak. Thank youuu!! ❤ definitely agree with discipleship. It is not always easily accessible in the modern churches today.
I'm so glad I found this video. I'm recuperating from a total hip replacement surgery I had last Wednesday and verbally coaching my young daughter in getting ready for school. I'm glad I am following the five things you have mentioned on this video. Number 5, I utilise prayer when I'm in the car on my busy runs as a mum. I have the Bible on audible yet I do find it difficult to locate a particular passage I want to reflect on, yet it's a way of utilising the WORD and keeping my deal with our great and good Father God. I do not have a congregation or a group of Christian women and haven't for over 2 decades since I have been living in an isolated area in company that hasn't been the most positive and uplifting. Sometimes even the negative Christian groups are the ones you are most definitely allowed to move away from. The last I went to church I left feeling very pulled down and not uplifted by someone who was extremely bossy and judgemental. I have not returned. I love using my God given skills to make my own clothes and to make pretty but practical outfits that are modest yet current.
Good morning, thank u for this message ❤ the world wants us to stay focused on the worldly things that take us away from our Father. I’m relatively new with my walk in Christ and it’s fruitful to hear your words of wisdom, I like how you framed up spending money like a drunkard it gave me a visual lol… that was one of the issues I felt the Holy Spirit tugging at my heart ♥️ to resolve and while I have tightened up my spending, some of my Christian friends might not be so pleased… I’m making egg salad sandwiches and cut veggies and fruits for our prayer group now and not costly baked goods… while they may call it penny pinching it makes me feel like I’m doing the right thing by not spend spend spending. Thank you again for your message and time. May our Father bless you and your family for your fruitful efforts in His kingdom
Lol! I thought you were talking about hockey trophies! I guess I'm out of the cool loop! Homeschooling your kids is a good way to avoid the newest trends!
Thank you so much for sharing so much of yourself to help Christian women. God bless you. I would like to dress better as a modest Christian woman but I don't know what to wear. What styles in your opinion would be in this category? I know you talked about yoga pants, "I'm guilty", but I just really like the ease of movement and comfortability. I never really thought about them the way you described. You have a valid point.
So many of today’s points are issues with which I am struggling. I feel so blessed to have found your channel. I’m very new to it. I know the Lord is refining me. I agree with you totally. Your words are rooted in scripture so I know they are correct. Thank you for taking your time to point out these struggles. It is a slow process to change lifelong habits, but I believe the Lord is helping me. He let me find you. Hearing hard truths is extremely sobering. Thank you!!! God bless you for being the Biblical woman you are.
I love your message, but when I got sick and lost weight, yoga pants were all I had that fit me. I couldn’t wear my jeans. I lost most of my butt so I was definitely not wearing yoga pants for that😂 I think types of pants (that still covers everything) are the least of the issues Christian women face. Jeans or yoga pants, either way they can be tight. So unless you only wear dresses, I think yoga pants are okay!
I go to the gym a lot so yes I do run around in them a lot and I have wore them in church to pick my kids up from choir practice, BUT I COVER MY BUTT UP WITH LONG SHIRTS AND JACKETS. I never go out with my butt hanging out, nor do I wear them thinking oh people will look at my butt in these, because you can’t see my butt. So definitely wearing them for function not just to show my butt off. I think you need to be modest when wearing them and think about your intent.
I’m so grateful I found your channel you are a Godsend!! God recently convicted me of one of your videos. Thank you! I want to deepen my relationship with God!
I loved this!! And subscribed! I'm definitely guilty of many of these, as im trying to become a more biblical wife and mother. I've also only been listening to Christian music now, thanks to discovering Ann Wilson. I have definitely been wanting a new, more feminine wordrobe of cotton and linen, to the point that im always online shopping, instead of being patient and thrift shopping, or learning to sew my own clothes, im in too much of a hurry to look a certain way. I'm a minimalist, but I still have been coveting certain things, and now im seeing that I need to be content and patient. I am able to dress modestly with what i have now. It may not look perfect, but I'm grateful for the clothes and life I have. ❤
My my has this video helped me. Thank you so much for your words and the encouragement. I have been praying ans asking God. This is the extra push i needed to act not just talk about it. ❤
Wow...I need to work on a few things. Thank you so much...this is amazing. We moved and being in new territory has shown how I also need to go to a new church and build friendships. For me and to help my kiddo.
The Holy Spirt will definitely convict. Its also about how mature we are as Christians. What may convict us may not convict others...yet. I want to encourage us that we should be mindful that we are all a work in progress and something things take time to get used to. You are not less Christian because you may be struggling with some of the areas shes mentioned, but she is speaking some good points though.
Oh hon- that's too kind! ALL glory to God- may he be seen through me- a broken, wretched vessel. 🥰 Every day we can grow one day stronger in our walk. XOXO
As someone who grew up very athletic and would only wear basketball shorts and tshirts, I wear yoga pants/leggings for pure comfort(especially after having kiddos) 🤣 I agree with you though going out and about in them. It is something I have been convicted about too. And no I didn’t like to hear that conviction but it is what it is. I still wear them to the gym with a oversized tshirt or hoodie or definitely around the house. However, I do truly want to find clothing that I can wear out and about that’s NOT leggings but also comfortable at the same time lol this video was amazing and you were spot on in everything you mentioned. Thanks for sharing!
Hi! Heidi. I am Hyewon from S. Korea. I've been watching your videos for a few months, which keeps encouraging and comforting me in Christ. Moreover, God's message through you has helped me so a lot to start a more spiritually adventurous life which is amazing. My family plans to move to Israel ( Jerusalem) where my husband ( pastor in a local Presbyterian church ) will start his Master's program in theology quite soon. As preparing for this huge change and journey, I really want to be prepared and equipped in every way as a homemaker, homeschooling mom, and help-meet. I truly want to be mentored and encouraged directly and intimately through a reliable and mature mentor while being accompanied by a faithful and love-filled community. Do you have some advice for me to grow up as his disciple and daughter so that I can lead a fulfilling and successful life as his steward and disciple? I'm thinking of joining your HMH collectives as well. Do you think it fits me well?
I think my little sister would like your job. On Sunday after church during a heatwave in Australia, I sat in the car and hiked my long skirt up to my thighs to cool down in the air-con. She told me, "COVER YOUR LEGS!" When it was just us in the car. She said it was rude of me to make her look at "that." I'm still hurt by it, like she was my strict grandmother. She used to be my best friend, but since reading the puritans for a year, she's so *grave* and stuck-up on Christian topics. I have to watch what I say, because she'll have a go at me, if it "doesn't sound very spiritual." I don't even watch TV or movies anymore, they're so unclean, but nothing is clean enough for my sister. I miss her.
Mum explained to her that I was hurt, and at first she defended her behaviour, but when she couldn't say what sin I'd committed, she realised it was just something she doesn't like, so she came to me and apologised, which was so nice. She's trying so hard to be gracious that she can seem fake-nice a lot of the time, but at least she's trying. She went to our church's Bible study this week and just told me today how she asked what everyone is reading. Not one of them is reading a Christian book, which she was not gracious about. I think when we're new and learning, we're so eager for others to share our zeal. The disappointment of them not being as zealous must come off as being judgemental. I'm trying really hard to be gracious, as there was a time she was very anti-Christian, mocking us, so I'm very thankful she's saved.
This is very much a God miracle moment, i have only today come across this channel an answer to my prayer. I prayed something like this Lord help me to be the wife and the daughter you created me to be.
I struggle with managing finances well. It’s been kind of a struggle my whole life, particularly since growing up my dad didn’t spend lots of time with us, he bought us things. That’s something I want to break. And just a note, I agree about the yoga pants, but I do think there are ways to style them that are still modest. For a while that was all I had that fit after having babies, but what I do when wearing them is either wear a shirt that is long enough to cover my backside or if the shirt is not long enough put a long sweater over top or tie a flannel around my waist so that in any case my backside is not exposed. ❤
Great message! Thank you! More videos on modesty is so needed, and on the root causes of seeking attention in immodest ways - which in my opinion is rooted in very low self esteem.
I’ve always struggled not to feel bad about not "keeping up with the Joneses" which was not in our budget,but as I grew closer to the Lord,I’m free from those expectations of others. I know some ‘Christian friends’ that curse than they justify it by saying, Oh, "excuse my French",it makes me feel so convicted as I don’t say anything, I need to be more bold and say something with grace and love. Very valid points.
Does anyone have suggestions for curvy women's pants that don't fall down? I wear yoga pants in black with a loose dress shirt. I've spoken with the pastor's wife about it and she doesn't think mine are immodest. However I just can't find an alternative. Yes I'll wear dresses whenever I can but in the winter even the fleece lined panties hoes are so thin my legs are cold in the winter. Winter fashion is such a struggle for myself. We no longer have any quality clothing. I want to get sweater dresses but they hug me in all the wrong places or they are huge. I'm a 36 bust, 32 waist, and 41 hips. Please ladies send me your suggestions. 🙏🙏🙏
Nothing wrong with yoga pants under a dress- I have a pair of fleece lined ones under my skirt today! 😁 Big difference between that and walking around with them as your main pants/nothing covering. 😘💕
Wide leg jeans. They are comfortable and modest. My fave jeans now, they are flattering, not loose like men's pants, but not immodest (I mean, depending on the pair, I'm sure).
I wear leggings, wool socks and boots with my winter dresses. My boots come up to my knees and my dresses are a couple inches below my knees. I wear winter hose or leggings under the dress. Pray about it, sister. The LORD will help you. 😘
I’m very tall, so I’ve never worn leggings without wearing something long over them… a long top or a dress, jumper or skirt. In the winter I wear black knee boots over my black leggings, and it looks very cute with an above knee skirt or dress. Also, sometimes a long sweater is nice as well. Hope this helps!
A couple of these points gave me outside and made me really evaluate some things in my life. I appreciate that you say what is true and Biblical even if unpopular. Thank you!
Ok I don't get the yoga pant thing but I do not own any so I have no clue. But I do own and wear leggings. I dress for comfort and as far as I know dress modestly. I am married I don't dress for random people. Anyways thank you for this video. I was a good watch and good reminders so appreciated.
AMEN to modesty! It's so very important. It's not loving to our spouses, other women, or their husbands to dress immodestly. The best mini sermon I heard on this said...our flesh is sin... and therefore ugly. Why would we want to show more sinful ugliness than necessary? It really hit home, and makes sense. Cover it up, and keep our clothes loose fitting, comfortable, and let the inner beauty shine!! ❤❤❤❤
Come join us- we did a whole series really digging into this and why it's so important for us as Christians. Watch this: th-cam.com/video/WzR5xmLUVFk/w-d-xo.html Here's the details: th-cam.com/video/g7zHrknPeNg/w-d-xo.html XOXO
I have a question for you regarding yoga pants. For most of my adult life I have tried to dress modest. I do wear leggings out. It is always under a long top or under a dress. For that matter my shirts cover my rear no matter what kind of pants I am wearing. What are your feelings on leggings being worn in this manner?
Same! Especially tan ones. I swear for a moment I thought a young lady the other day was naked from the waist down because of the color and contour of those horrible things.
Coming from a very strong Christian, yoga pants are the only things that I can find to fit me because I’m not exactly a really skinny person so I can’t wear certain things and for my dress size I can’t find those anywhere unless I want to spend a fortune on those and yoga pants only cost $10 so I think sometimes it’s a little bit deeper than what people put it as sometimes it all people can afford If you are a size, large, or above, you’re not gonna be able to find your clothing at a thrift store been there done that
There's nothing wrong with simply wearing yoga pants- I wear them under skirts every winter! The problem would be walking around in yoga pants that aren't covered with a skirt/dress/long sweater/top/etc.... The issue is modesty- and what we're putting out there. :)
Thrift stores usually! We've had no problem finding plus sizes, I have many friends in plus sizes too that shop near exclusively at thrift stores. I only have a few outfits- I use the same stuff over and over. Clearance racks are my go to whenever looking for something in a store. I keep it minimal-- but it's incredibly important as stewards of Christ and His ambassadors here on earth to be modest. 🥰
@@HeavenlyMindedHome I also wanna ask because I just noticed you’re a pastors wife so I’m sure you study a lot I’m only 3 months into my Christian journey, So I’m terrified to get pregnant right now due to health concerns , do you think it’s a sin for a married couple to use hands as a alternative for each other if the woman can’t handle pregnancy until she’s ok to risk?
I started to dress more modestly a couple of years ago, and I tell you it is FREEDOM! For me, this means wearing a lot of skirts and dresses below the knee and with high necklines. And also wearing a skort or board shorts and a sun shirt for swimwear. Its so simple, i dont have to worry about so much sunscreen, and I feel i am honoring my Lord and the men around me.
Oh my goodness, I was laughing at the Stanly cups. I don't any of their cups but when I saw they had pink ones I almost went but also I saw all the craziness for those cups, I changed my mind. I use leggings because I am comfortable in them and they have cute designs but also I wear long tops over them or mini flowy dresses to cover my areas. Consumerism got me and that has been a struggle and a prayer for a while. I am a crafter that likes to use all the pretty paper and laces. I also participate in crafty swaps with other fellow crafty TH-camrs, so when I buy it is to share with them as well. Tfs. God bless.
Too funny when you where talking about the Stanley Cup, I thought you where referencing the tennis match, didn’t sink in until you said people going nuts over getting a cup😂
I think a lot of women wear yoga pants not show off assets but because we have fallen into the rut of being “comfortable “ and not feeling confidant, or justified to embrace our femininity . That can also take time and mentorship to get a better plan than Yoga pants going ….just something I recognized in myself
It's been on my heart for some time now to wear more skirts, but I feel like I would have to invest a lot of money into just wearing them and I only have two pairs of shoes one is tennis shoes and one is winter boots. just the thought of purchasing more things bothers me and I have not decided to take the leap yet even though it is constantly in the back of my mind.
Hi Heidi I love your channel.. Our family has been sick the past 2 days so I've been in bed binge watching you videos.. Can you please send me the resources on Contentment that you mentioned in this video ♥thank you my friend
As Christians, shouldn’t have anything to do with yoga.
Swearing is huge one for me, I’ve improved greatly but still not perfect. I’m working on it everyday. ❤
It is the hardest to tame the tongue-- and our vocabulary can be so difficult. BIG hugs, one day at a time. XO
Me too 🙌🙏❤️
Ah I concur! I’m quite a Zealot so I find most of my foul language comes in when my LORD is blasphemed openly by others. Then my tongue becomes sharp as a double edged sword. I ask the Holy Spirit to immediately convict me-as sometimes my speech is so quick, I say it before the thought has even fully formed in my mind. We are not alone sisters, let the LORD bind our tongues for his GLORY! Amen and Shalom to all! 🙏✝️❤️
Same here. You're not alone.
FEEDING on the Word is transformative. Psalm 18.30 As for God, his way is perfect: The LORD’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him.
Also, focussing on his names in scripture. Proverbs 18.10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower. The righteous runs into it and is safe. (Margin note = "set on high") (NASB: Lockman)
I wear yoga pants, but I always wear a very long shirt or sweater. I had a baby and my old jeans still don't fit😐
I totally get that. I think she's not talking about leggings worn in a modest way. I wore leggings a LOT during pregnancy during every day life. I was a bit uncomfortable with it at times because of it being immodest, but most of them were cheap/free and comfortable. Next pregnancy (God-willing) I might invest in some good pregnancy pants.
Same
I never left the house in yoga pants (unless actually going to workout or to yoga) prior to pregnancy. But unfortunately I've gotten into a rut. Running out of the house, leggings, extra long tee/sweatshirt/ sweater and out the door.
@@mindyd1985 I totally understand. Please don't feel like you're morally wrong. But if you're more in a "rut" because you don't like wearing yoga pants, or feel like you have nothing nice or that you like to wear, then I get that too. I feel like SO many women are in "clothing ruts" after having babies. Doing a capsule wardrobe intentionally was so helpful for me. I could pick out a "uniform" to wear to work or things for home, and in general not worry about my wardrobe for the next few months. Last year I talked with a friend about it when she told me she felt like she only had 2-3 pairs of pants she wore. You aren't alone
Yeah I totally think it has everything to do with how they’re being worn.
I went to a women’s Christian conferences that made you feel you needed the latest book, cd, etc, etc to be a part of the “sisterhood”. It just didn’t sit right with me at the time and I didn’t buy into it. So we need to be careful even with things that have a “Christian” label.
I have never felt compelled to purchase a book, a video, a tee shirt at a women’s conference . Some women enjoy those things, I don’t. I’m fine with speakers selling their books . Why should they not? Billy Graham sold his, Charles Stanley sold his.
@@sharondoan1447please research Billy Graham and other major Christian authors. Billy Graham did not write most of his books, but had a ghost writer. One of which was a closet homosexual Mel White. So promoting a book as your own, while deceiving the public is wrong.
@@sharondoan1447 it wasn’t the books etc that I felt uncomfortable with but rather the feeling I got that “I needed to be in the sisterhood or I might miss out on something”. I appreciated and enjoyed the messages to be honest and did buy the book of one of the speakers. I never did go again and the mega church that ran the conferences has been involved in very publicised scandals so the conferences don’t run anymore. Perhaps that speaks for itself and I don’t rejoice in that but feel deeply saddened as it turns people away from God, for whom the whole message is supposed to be about.
@@exodusmass4575 And you can prove your claim? I have no reason to credit you claim as truth. Do you have similar claims to make about other Christian authors or is Billy Graham the only target ?
I totalmente agree with you
From a man who is a man trying to follow Christ closely, thank you!
I thought to myself, ‘I need to stop wearing yoga pants outside of the home,’ and then you brought it up! The Lord double confirming that one! Going to be a big change for me on that one!!
Or wear long shirts or sweaters that go long enough to cover and go to mid thigh
It's important to note that it's not the yoga pants that are the problem, it's what the yoga pants reveal. I've seen women look incredibly modest in yoga pants when they have a 3/4 length cardigan overtop. I've ALSO seen women in maxi dresses that were SO immodest. In one case, the dress was not tight or see-through, but, she had an ample "caboose", so as she moved, I could see everything jiggle. This was in church. I might be quite conservative in this, but I think we need to go back to cotton slips under our summer dresses.
Agree… I do not need to see your upper thighs and the Hoo-ha
I also had this conviction a few months back.. I decided if o was going to wear them(I like them because I find them more comfortable then jeans any day) I must only were them with a long loose fitting shirt so that my butt is covered and my shape isn’t complete standing out. Or I’ll use a loose t or something that might not be super long but I’ll wear a cardigan to cover more.
I wear them in fun runs. I have no issues wearing them outside.
I struggle with money management and know it isn't Godly spending so flippantly. Thanks for this reminder. I need to pray for help on this.
I'm so thankful I have found this channel. I feel like a weight is lifted off my shoulders. I feel this way about many of the things you said (ex. yoga pants without long jackets/shirts, not watching offending shows that have foul talk, etc.). Other Christians and people around me think I'm crazy. My H even thinks I'm going overboard. It is hard and stressful for me because I feel like I'm alone. But after seeing this, I'm feel so excited to learn more and have others perspectives about this in a biblical context. The Word is my guiding light. I want to respect Jesus. I'm certainly not perfect at all and need lots of help. This is such a breath of fresh air. I don't feel crazy anymore. I think this is exactly what the Bible teaches, but the modern church is just too easy on it. Thanks!
You are not crazy and you are not alone!! I feel the same way sometimes. Actually, many times. I have a burden to live my life in the world, not of the world. "Would I do/say/watch/listen to/etc. this if Jesus was sitting here with me?" He is my standard.
@@weezy516 Thanks for the support. I really appreciate that feedback. Also, great question
.. what would I do if Jesus were sitting here with me? That's great. Thank you.
I'm with you girl!!
It's interesting that most women find about modesty - or Christianity in general - when they come to a certain age, when the beauty fade away
No you are not the only one. As a female I hold myself responsible to make sure that I’m not being a bad example to non believers or younger girls.
WOW, finally a Christian woman who is not blaming men for Christian women being immodest. Thank you!
Yup! We are ultimately accountable to God as individuals and we're responsible for our own walk with Jesus.
It's true because we shouldn't be blaming other people of how they perceive US based on how we dress. If you're dressing half naked for the world to see and God forbid even the kids then it's just basically saying that we don't have any self-respect, and that they need constant validation even if it's the wrong type to feel good. I mean I don't want to be dressed up like the 1800s but at least cover up and not wearing something that is way too form-fitting.
These poor women are just trying to look beautiful and dressing the way they know how to.
They are innocent angels
😂😅😂😅
I am always so surprised by how cussing is so contagious! If I am around co-workers using swear words, I'll find myself saying that word before the end of the day and didnt even intend to, it just came out my mouth. When I am around people who dont cuss either do I. I'd like to say watch out who you hang with but we cant always avoid the world. Please pray for me!
I shop online way too much. I’m glad I stumbled upon this. I want to be closer to God.
As a new Christian - former new-age witch - I am so grateful for your channel. Your biblically sound advice and guidance is so helpful 💚 thank you for making these videos!
Congratulations !
So glad the heart you found the truth!
Jesus loves you so much!
God bless you!🙌
1. Don't covet possessions
2. Guard your tongues (no swearing, no gossip, be kind with your words)
3. Dress modestly (no yoga pants in public. What are you bringing attention to?)
4. Don’t overspend
5. Don’t neglect your Discipleship
Every time I listen to you it brings more peace to me about my mentality and that I’m doing something right when others think I’m weird or crazy because I’m not “cool” with my hair and clothes and the vehicle I drive. Thank you!
Big hugs! Xo
I was just praying the other day I need to be closer to God, and the answer was to die to myself and take up my cross daily. This video just confirmed it. Thank you
Amen! 🙏🏼📖
FEEDING on the Word is transformative. Psalm 18.30 As for God, his way is perfect: The LORD’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him.
Also, focussing on his names in scripture. Proverbs 18.10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower. The righteous runs into it and is safe. (Margin note = "set on high") (NASB: Lockman)
Discipleship! Yes, that is definately where I am lacking and finding that it is lacking all around me. Even in my church. No real fellowship with each other unless you are in a particular group of folks. I am not finding good friends, I am not being a disciple at all, and not much gathering with others. I feel very isolated. This was a great video for me today.
Amen. I also am finding it hard to find other believers willing to talk and pray about these things. I am praying for Holy Spirit to lead me Gods Kingdom kinship.
You sure got me there!!!! I needed this wake up call...I pray for God's forgiveness and help in better managing coveting and poor money management.
I’m glad someone finally said it about the Stanley cups. Everyone at my work has one and it’s ridiculous.
Excellent message Heidi. I think a lot of us needed to hear this. I want to change my spending and thinking habits. I know I'm not pleasing God right now.
You are so welcome! ALL glory to God! Xo
God bless you with grace and peace. God grant you freedom from a spirit of condemnation and remind you of your freedom in Christ Jesus. Amen
@@trishbowring726so you can wearing revealing clothes?
@@trishbowring726 Except the freedom to wear yoga pants
Wow. The Lord has spoken to me very recently on probably all 5 topics and He just used you to confirm that in fact yes it was Him. Thank you. May God continually bless you.
Yes…Consumerism can be a problem, with some.
Me included on occasion. 😜
I think that’s an area that needs to be constantly addressed as a Christian reminder, not to go down that path.
Thank you for your Godly inspirations!!!
✝️🙏🕊️💜✝️
So glad you brought these 5 things up. I’m a minimalist, and find it so freeing to not have too many possessions. You are so right! Words are powerful, so we have to be careful of what comes out of our mouths. The yoga pants comments made me lol. If you are going to wear yoga pants, at least wear a long shirt to cover up, right!
Thank you for openly speaking on these topics. It is so easy to get carried away on many of these things as we live here on earth. It is good to pause and remember what the Bible says and what God calls us to.
I came across your channel "by accident". God bless you for the content you put here. You've told me a few hard truths so far, but it was as if I heard the Father say, "Listen to her, child." Thank you for the God-centred, Word focused, healthy advice and the loving way in which you deliver it.
I am so happy that I fell upon your videos. This is the second one I have seen and I have subscribed because I dearly LOVE the truth you speak! Even though I know these things and agree wholeheartedly, I am very blessed to hear them spoken out loud. I look back on my years of being a Christian and see how God has been molding me and teaching me every step of the way. I am a senior now and still have areas to improve on....even ones I am not aware of yet, but God is merciful to me as he shows me areas he wants to mold in me. Staying in his Word everyday has been the sandpaper to my rough edges. Thank you for you. xxx God bless you.
I love that I have found the community you described in the 5th topic. I am surrounded by amazing women that help me in my walk and am so involved in my church now! I've come so far since I first found yall last year!
Yes, yes, yes!! 👏👏
Great message! 🤍
Thank you, Heidi for sharing this. I have been on a health journey and have lost a significant amount of weight (I still have a ways to go. I want to honor God in all areas of my life and this has been a hard trek. I struggle with the shopping bug with the excuse that I need to replace this or that. I would love for you to expound on being good stewardship on how to be frugal and wise even in our wardrobes. Honestly, I would love a series on all the points you touched on!
Ouch, ouch and ouch...Thank you for these suggests...God is convicting me now...But in a good good way...Thank you for teaching us....Thank you God, Thank you Jesus! ✝️🙏🙌
You are so welcome, I thank the Lord often for His conviction! 🙏🏼💕 Even when it hurts! 🙈 Xo
I feel seen!! Lotta I’m not even half way done listening and I can tell I needed to hear this BIG TIME.
I think you are spot on! Thank you for sharing. BTW… Christian women aren’t to have piercings either.
Would love to see where it says that Biblically! Please share!
From God directly: ”I gave you lovely jewelry, bracelets, beautiful necklaces, a ring for your nose, earrings for your ears, and a lovely crown for your head. And so you were adorned with gold and silver. Your clothes were made of fine linen and costly fabric and were beautifully embroidered. You ate the finest foods-choice flour, honey, and olive oil-and became more beautiful than ever. You looked like a queen, and so you were!“
Ezekiel 16:11-13
@@HeavenlyMindedHomewhich translation is yours from? Mine says similar but not the same as yours.
@@HeavenlyMindedHomeOld Testament when it's convenient
I totally agree. I felt like the nose piercing was a slap in the face and hypocritical. She gives one scripture below which would seem to justify her wearing a nose piercing, but there are plenty more that do not. Exodus 21:6 then his master must take him before the judges. He shall take him to the door or the doorpost and pierce his ear with an awl. Then he will be his servant for life. It should be noted that context is important. What does a nose piercing symbolize today? Certainly not what was indicated in Ezekiel 11-16. A nose piercing in our culture, represents rebelliousness and non-conformity. And this is how she portrays herself in general in seeking to correct others, but not following that rule herself. Pretty narcissistic in my opinion. We are told to avoid even the APPEARANCE of EVIL by our actions, that it could be misinterpreted by others. 1 Thess 5:22 “Abstain from all appearance of evil.” She failed the test on this one. And walking around in slovenly t-shirt and sweater? Where's the dress? We are not to dress like men.
Women upset over yoga pants and I am just over here like, she came for my pumpkins! :) Kidding of course. Thank you Heidi for saying what so many think. Your channel is a blessing!
Thank you for speaking the truth in these matters. Much love, The Garden Tiller Boy's Mom!
Thank you for laying it all out.. i needed this and im sure many are going to feel the same.. God bless you and everyone who comes arcoss this comment..❤
Very well said! I got so much from this video. You sure are blessed with teaching. Thank you🫶🏻God Bless you and your family🙏🏼
Thats true :) im wearing especially summertime sport/jogging pants maybe someone sees them as yoga pants. i tried to be very carefull when bought those, there were no else available at that time when bought those and dont really want spend much time to buy clothes, and then i try to cover with long shirts my waterline or with skirt :) i even try to cover my front with scarf almost always :) because dont really want to be any temptation to anyone. but how we dress can be a issue of how much money do we have to spend clothes, so i try to avoid judge people how they dress and try to focus more whats inside rather then outside :) Bless you! :)
Really like this style of video Heidi ❤
This was a really great and edifying video. I love how you are able to speak truth while maintaining a good level of grace and understanding. Your videos always speak to me and bring conviction and encouragement! I definitely need to work on my spending habits and how I speak. Thank youuu!! ❤ definitely agree with discipleship. It is not always easily accessible in the modern churches today.
All glory to God! 🙏🏼💕📖
I'm so glad I found this video. I'm recuperating from a total hip replacement surgery I had last Wednesday and verbally coaching my young daughter in getting ready for school. I'm glad I am following the five things you have mentioned on this video. Number 5, I utilise prayer when I'm in the car on my busy runs as a mum. I have the Bible on audible yet I do find it difficult to locate a particular passage I want to reflect on, yet it's a way of utilising the WORD and keeping my deal with our great and good Father God. I do not have a congregation or a group of Christian women and haven't for over 2 decades since I have been living in an isolated area in company that hasn't been the most positive and uplifting. Sometimes even the negative Christian groups are the ones you are most definitely allowed to move away from. The last I went to church I left feeling very pulled down and not uplifted by someone who was extremely bossy and judgemental. I have not returned. I love using my God given skills to make my own clothes and to make pretty but practical outfits that are modest yet current.
Big hugs!!!!🤗 Praying for your recovery, too! 🙏🏼💕
Thank you for sharing as Christians we are set apart filled with the holy spirit and set apart.
Titus 2 charges us as women to disciple one another...especially seasoned believers to new/young believers. Love your channel. 🙏✝️☝️
All the points are excellent! Thank you especially for the modesty aspect 😊 In the world but not of it , so desperately needed.
Good morning, thank u for this message ❤ the world wants us to stay focused on the worldly things that take us away from our Father. I’m relatively new with my walk in Christ and it’s fruitful to hear your words of wisdom, I like how you framed up spending money like a drunkard it gave me a visual lol… that was one of the issues I felt the Holy Spirit tugging at my heart ♥️ to resolve and while I have tightened up my spending, some of my Christian friends might not be so pleased… I’m making egg salad sandwiches and cut veggies and fruits for our prayer group now and not costly baked goods… while they may call it penny pinching it makes me feel like I’m doing the right thing by not spend spend spending. Thank you again for your message and time. May our Father bless you and your family for your fruitful efforts in His kingdom
Egg salad sandwiches, fruit and veggies sounds divine to me! God bless you

Lol! I thought you were talking about hockey trophies! I guess I'm out of the cool loop! Homeschooling your kids is a good way to avoid the newest trends!
Thank you so much for sharing so much of yourself to help Christian women. God bless you.
I would like to dress better as a modest Christian woman but I don't know what to wear. What styles in your opinion would be in this category? I know you talked about yoga pants, "I'm guilty", but I just really like the ease of movement and comfortability. I never really thought about them the way you described. You have a valid point.
Investing in studying the word and in turn discipling will help with the 1st 4 areas . Thank you 🙏
Coveting!!!! Oh man.. the Lord has been convicting me for over a month!! Wow, thanks for this video!!
All glory to God- it can be so hard, but is so important! 🥰🙏🏼
Thank you!
So many of today’s points are issues with which I am struggling. I feel so blessed to have found your channel. I’m very new to it. I know the Lord is refining me. I agree with you totally. Your words are rooted in scripture so I know they are correct. Thank you for taking your time to point out these struggles. It is a slow process to change lifelong habits, but I believe the Lord is helping me. He let me find you. Hearing hard truths is extremely sobering. Thank you!!! God bless you for being the Biblical woman you are.
I would appreciate individual videos on each this 5 topics.
Heidi ~ This was so good ❤
I love your message, but when I got sick and lost weight, yoga pants were all I had that fit me. I couldn’t wear my jeans. I lost most of my butt so I was definitely not wearing yoga pants for that😂 I think types of pants (that still covers everything) are the least of the issues Christian women face. Jeans or yoga pants, either way they can be tight. So unless you only wear dresses, I think yoga pants are okay!
I go to the gym a lot so yes I do run around in them a lot and I have wore them in church to pick my kids up from choir practice, BUT I COVER MY BUTT UP WITH LONG SHIRTS AND JACKETS. I never go out with my butt hanging out, nor do I wear them thinking oh people will look at my butt in these, because you can’t see my butt. So definitely wearing them for function not just to show my butt off. I think you need to be modest when wearing them and think about your intent.
Yes to all of this! Great video, Heidi!
Thanks for watching! Xoxo
I’m so grateful I found your channel you are a Godsend!! God recently convicted me of one of your videos. Thank you! I want to deepen my relationship with God!
Definitely needed this video and to be reminded of a few topics and then eyes opened to others. Thank you so much ❤
I loved this!! And subscribed! I'm definitely guilty of many of these, as im trying to become a more biblical wife and mother. I've also only been listening to Christian music now, thanks to discovering Ann Wilson. I have definitely been wanting a new, more feminine wordrobe of cotton and linen, to the point that im always online shopping, instead of being patient and thrift shopping, or learning to sew my own clothes, im in too much of a hurry to look a certain way. I'm a minimalist, but I still have been coveting certain things, and now im seeing that I need to be content and patient. I am able to dress modestly with what i have now. It may not look perfect, but I'm grateful for the clothes and life I have. ❤
This was encouraging! Thank you!
You are so welcome! 🤗 All glory to God!
Thank you for the reminders! You are a blessing!!!
ALL glory to God! 🙌🏼
Please keep it up and doing this ministry! May God bless you as you soldier on.
My my has this video helped me. Thank you so much for your words and the encouragement. I have been praying ans asking God. This is the extra push i needed to act not just talk about it. ❤
💖 this video Heidi I needed to hear this today. Thank you for the encouragement. I’d
Love a video on modesty 💖
Wow...I need to work on a few things. Thank you so much...this is amazing. We moved and being in new territory has shown how I also need to go to a new church and build friendships. For me and to help my kiddo.
The Holy Spirt will definitely convict. Its also about how mature we are as Christians. What may convict us may not convict others...yet. I want to encourage us that we should be mindful that we are all a work in progress and something things take time to get used to. You are not less Christian because you may be struggling with some of the areas shes mentioned, but she is speaking some good points though.
Heidi, thank you for preaching the truth. If I could be half, fourth or 1/10th the Christian woman you are, I would be so happy. I love you!! ❤
Oh hon- that's too kind! ALL glory to God- may he be seen through me- a broken, wretched vessel. 🥰 Every day we can grow one day stronger in our walk. XOXO
As someone who grew up very athletic and would only wear basketball shorts and tshirts, I wear yoga pants/leggings for pure comfort(especially after having kiddos) 🤣
I agree with you though going out and about in them. It is something I have been convicted about too. And no I didn’t like to hear that conviction but it is what it is. I still wear them to the gym with a oversized tshirt or hoodie or definitely around the house. However, I do truly want to find clothing that I can wear out and about that’s NOT leggings but also comfortable at the same time lol this video was amazing and you were spot on in everything you mentioned. Thanks for sharing!
Hi! Heidi. I am Hyewon from S. Korea. I've been watching your videos for a few months, which keeps encouraging and comforting me in Christ. Moreover, God's message through you has helped me so a lot to start a more spiritually adventurous life which is amazing. My family plans to move to Israel ( Jerusalem) where my husband ( pastor in a local Presbyterian church ) will start his Master's program in theology quite soon. As preparing for this huge change and journey, I really want to be prepared and equipped in every way as a homemaker, homeschooling mom, and help-meet. I truly want to be mentored and encouraged directly and intimately through a reliable and mature mentor while being accompanied by a faithful and love-filled community. Do you have some advice for me to grow up as his disciple and daughter so that I can lead a fulfilling and successful life as his steward and disciple? I'm thinking of joining your HMH collectives as well. Do you think it fits me well?
I think my little sister would like your job. On Sunday after church during a heatwave in Australia, I sat in the car and hiked my long skirt up to my thighs to cool down in the air-con. She told me, "COVER YOUR LEGS!" When it was just us in the car. She said it was rude of me to make her look at "that." I'm still hurt by it, like she was my strict grandmother.
She used to be my best friend, but since reading the puritans for a year, she's so *grave* and stuck-up on Christian topics. I have to watch what I say, because she'll have a go at me, if it "doesn't sound very spiritual." I don't even watch TV or movies anymore, they're so unclean, but nothing is clean enough for my sister.
I miss her.
Sounds like legalism. So sorry I imagine you do miss the person she used to be.😢
Yeah sounds like she does a lot of judging too. (That’s a sin😂)
Mum explained to her that I was hurt, and at first she defended her behaviour, but when she couldn't say what sin I'd committed, she realised it was just something she doesn't like, so she came to me and apologised, which was so nice. She's trying so hard to be gracious that she can seem fake-nice a lot of the time, but at least she's trying.
She went to our church's Bible study this week and just told me today how she asked what everyone is reading. Not one of them is reading a Christian book, which she was not gracious about. I think when we're new and learning, we're so eager for others to share our zeal. The disappointment of them not being as zealous must come off as being judgemental.
I'm trying really hard to be gracious, as there was a time she was very anti-Christian, mocking us, so I'm very thankful she's saved.
@@kathy2940is rebuking thong-bikini wearers legalism also?

This is very much a God miracle moment, i have only today come across this channel an answer to my prayer. I prayed something like this Lord help me to be the wife and the daughter you created me to be.
Excellent teaching! God bless you ❤
I struggle with managing finances well. It’s been kind of a struggle my whole life, particularly since growing up my dad didn’t spend lots of time with us, he bought us things. That’s something I want to break. And just a note, I agree about the yoga pants, but I do think there are ways to style them that are still modest. For a while that was all I had that fit after having babies, but what I do when wearing them is either wear a shirt that is long enough to cover my backside or if the shirt is not long enough put a long sweater over top or tie a flannel around my waist so that in any case my backside is not exposed. ❤
You are a very good teacher!
Great message! Thank you!
More videos on modesty is so needed, and on the root causes of seeking attention in immodest ways - which in my opinion is rooted in very low self esteem.
I grew up to always wear a slip under a dress; have not worn dresses in years here in PNW. Do women still wear slips? I sure hope so!!!
The younger generation has told me that no one wears slips anymore!?!
I wear slips and proper undergarments always have. I’m in my early 60s now. Slips are necessary with dresses and skirts.
I’ve always struggled not to feel bad about not "keeping up with the Joneses" which was not in our budget,but as I grew closer to the Lord,I’m free from those expectations of others.
I know some ‘Christian friends’ that curse than they justify it by saying, Oh, "excuse my French",it makes me feel so convicted as I don’t say anything, I need to be more bold and say something with grace and love. Very valid points.
Does anyone have suggestions for curvy women's pants that don't fall down? I wear yoga pants in black with a loose dress shirt. I've spoken with the pastor's wife about it and she doesn't think mine are immodest. However I just can't find an alternative. Yes I'll wear dresses whenever I can but in the winter even the fleece lined panties hoes are so thin my legs are cold in the winter.
Winter fashion is such a struggle for myself. We no longer have any quality clothing. I want to get sweater dresses but they hug me in all the wrong places or they are huge.
I'm a 36 bust, 32 waist, and 41 hips. Please ladies send me your suggestions. 🙏🙏🙏
Nothing wrong with yoga pants under a dress- I have a pair of fleece lined ones under my skirt today! 😁 Big difference between that and walking around with them as your main pants/nothing covering. 😘💕
Wide leg jeans. They are comfortable and modest. My fave jeans now, they are flattering, not loose like men's pants, but not immodest (I mean, depending on the pair, I'm sure).
I wear leggings, wool socks and boots with my winter dresses. My boots come up to my knees and my dresses are a couple inches below my knees. I wear winter hose or leggings under the dress. Pray about it, sister. The LORD will help you. 😘
I’m very tall, so I’ve never worn leggings without wearing something long over them… a long top or a dress, jumper or skirt. In the winter I wear black knee boots over my black leggings, and it looks very cute with an above knee skirt or dress. Also, sometimes a long sweater is nice as well. Hope this helps!
A couple of these points gave me outside and made me really evaluate some things in my life. I appreciate that you say what is true and Biblical even if unpopular. Thank you!
Ok I don't get the yoga pant thing but I do not own any so I have no clue. But I do own and wear leggings. I dress for comfort and as far as I know dress modestly. I am married I don't dress for random people. Anyways thank you for this video. I was a good watch and good reminders so appreciated.
I'm a Canadian: there's only one Stanley Cup. lol
AMEN to modesty! It's so very important.
It's not loving to our spouses, other women, or their husbands to dress immodestly.
The best mini sermon I heard on this said...our flesh is sin... and therefore ugly.
Why would we want to show more sinful ugliness than necessary?
It really hit home, and makes sense.
Cover it up, and keep our clothes loose fitting, comfortable, and let the inner beauty shine!!
❤❤❤❤
I would love the resources on contentment.
Same!!

I have a question for you regarding yoga pants. For most of my adult life I have tried to dress modest. I do wear leggings out. It is always under a long top or under a dress. For that matter my shirts cover my rear no matter what kind of pants I am wearing. What are your feelings on leggings being worn in this manner?
I do the same! Completely modest to wear something long over leggings, yoga pants…..
I struggle with buying clothes for years.I am creative am enjoy putting outfits together but I need prayer for this addiction 🙏
Yoga pants gross me out. I don't need to some woman's every crevice. 🤢🤦🏼♀️
Same! Especially tan ones. I swear for a moment I thought a young lady the other day was naked from the waist down because of the color and contour of those horrible things.
Alleluia 😂

I feel attacked and I don’t appreciate you calling me out Ma’am lol. This is the talking to I need but did not know I needed . Thank you 🙏

I do not get the Stanly cup thing, why would you fight over that?
Coming from a very strong Christian, yoga pants are the only things that I can find to fit me because I’m not exactly a really skinny person so I can’t wear certain things and for my dress size I can’t find those anywhere unless I want to spend a fortune on those and yoga pants only cost $10 so I think sometimes it’s a little bit deeper than what people put it as sometimes it all people can afford
If you are a size, large, or above, you’re not gonna be able to find your clothing at a thrift store been there done that
There's nothing wrong with simply wearing yoga pants- I wear them under skirts every winter! The problem would be walking around in yoga pants that aren't covered with a skirt/dress/long sweater/top/etc.... The issue is modesty- and what we're putting out there. :)
@@HeavenlyMindedHome where do you find your clothes? I want to find skirts but again really hard to with my size
Thrift stores usually! We've had no problem finding plus sizes, I have many friends in plus sizes too that shop near exclusively at thrift stores. I only have a few outfits- I use the same stuff over and over. Clearance racks are my go to whenever looking for something in a store. I keep it minimal-- but it's incredibly important as stewards of Christ and His ambassadors here on earth to be modest. 🥰
@@HeavenlyMindedHome I also wanna ask because I just noticed you’re a pastors wife so I’m sure you study a lot I’m only 3 months into my Christian journey,
So I’m terrified to get pregnant right now due to health concerns , do you think it’s a sin for a married couple to use hands as a alternative for each other if the woman can’t handle pregnancy until she’s ok to risk?
Very important your video. Thanks👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
So my question as a young christian woman is , if yoga pants are bad what do you recommend christian women to wear for sports ,or gym? ?
I started to dress more modestly a couple of years ago, and I tell you it is FREEDOM! For me, this means wearing a lot of skirts and dresses below the knee and with high necklines. And also wearing a skort or board shorts and a sun shirt for swimwear. Its so simple, i dont have to worry about so much sunscreen, and I feel i am honoring my Lord and the men around me.
I never understood the Stanley cup craze 😂 Even the kids!! That is not normal.
Right?! 🫣🥴
I have no idea what this means, but I’m a boomer
Oh my goodness, I was laughing at the Stanly cups. I don't any of their cups but when I saw they had pink ones I almost went but also I saw all the craziness for those cups, I changed my mind. I use leggings because I am comfortable in them and they have cute designs but also I wear long tops over them or mini flowy dresses to cover my areas. Consumerism got me and that has been a struggle and a prayer for a while. I am a crafter that likes to use all the pretty paper and laces. I also participate in crafty swaps with other fellow crafty TH-camrs, so when I buy it is to share with them as well. Tfs. God bless.
Too funny when you where talking about the Stanley Cup, I thought you where referencing the tennis match, didn’t sink in until you said people going nuts over getting a cup😂
😂😂😂
Psssstt... ice hockey, not tennis
I think a lot of women wear yoga pants not show off assets but because we have fallen into the rut of being “comfortable “ and not feeling confidant, or justified to embrace our femininity . That can also take time and mentorship to get a better plan than Yoga pants going ….just something I recognized in myself
Ooohhhh.... you mean one of those mugs! I wasn't getting the hockey reference!
😂😂😂
I didn't even know what a stanley cup was until my daughter bought me one for Christmas!
It's been on my heart for some time now to wear more skirts, but I feel like I would have to invest a lot of money into just wearing them and I only have two pairs of shoes one is tennis shoes and one is winter boots. just the thought of purchasing more things bothers me and I have not decided to take the leap yet even though it is constantly in the back of my mind.
Everything I have comes from a thrift store- and I wear the same shoes! Just my sneakers, rubber farm boots 😅 or a pair of flats. Whatever works!
