Alex! Lucky charm here! I have been out of the daily chat for about 2 years now…. And I’ve been in my discipleship training myself since then. ✝️ hi sweet baby!! Can’t wait to hear more 🤍
I'm so thankful for your testimony about headcovering. I'm sure God brought me to your IG so that I could learn more and explore my convictions. I headcover full time and only wear modest, feminine dresses all thanks to following you and praying for guidance. I pray one day to have the confidence and conviction to speak out about my faith as you do. I'm currently studying a Bachelor degree in Theology and an assessment I have to write about is head covering. It's like God was preparing me. Thank you for all that you share and may God Bless you and your family ❤️
about a year ago i came across you on instagram.. in that period god started making it clear to me that i should start wearing a head covering.. since then i follow you and since march 11 last year i wear a head covering every day, am the only one in my village who does this and received many comments but nothing prevents me from this.. I like to hear you talk about this because I recognize so much in your life story.. lots of love from the Netherlands ♡♡
Yay, so glad to hear your journey in this area. Can't wait to hear more, particularly about your decision to full-time cover. I became recently convicted about headcovering but currently only cover part time, I'm still doing lots of learning researching and praying on the topic so I'm always eager to hear other Christian womens' take on it. ( pretty sure I've commented this before, but also just wanted to say I'm so glad to see your uploads on TH-cam! Your Instagram was always such a blessing to me but I had to delete the app because it was bringing too much toxicity to my life. So I've really been enjoying your content here 🙂)
If we follow those who subscribe to the doctrine of women wearing veils, then it can be argued that the most often cited verse is 1st Corinth. 11:5, which states: “But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.” According to many of those who believe women ought to wear veils this verse supposedly implies that a woman’s uncovered head is a woman who does not wear a veil. Such a woman is either dishonoring God, their own physical head or her husband for failing to wear it which implies that they are in disobedience. Some have gone so far as to say it is a sin. Another assumption is that the woman being referred to already has long hair and since they conclude that the covering is a veil then it must be referring to an “additional” covering otherwise it would clash with verse 15 stating that God gave women long hair for a covering. Another conclusion is that women ought to be covered ONLY when praying and prophesying which would make it seem as though it were something that can be placed on or taken off like a veil. You’ve probably noticed by now it takes several assumptions to reach the conclusion that women ought to wear a foreign object on their heads, despite the lack of evidence. * Does the Bible really give a clear command that women should wear a veil? The first thing that everyone must understand when talking about this topic is that it DOES NOT say the word “veil “or any other physical headwear, as far as the KJV is concerned. It surely mentions that the woman’s head should be covered, and no one disputes this, but it does not say that it should be covered with a veil, a shawl, a bonnet, a cap, or any other specific headwear. The verses in question within 1st Corinthians 11 mention the words, cover, covered, uncovered, and covering, but that does not mean we can translate this to mean specifically a veil, a shawl, a bonnet, a cap, or anything else similar. In fact, it would seem more like an adverb rather than a noun. Nevertheless, the word “cover” is often unfortunately interpreted by head covering promoters to mean a veil above all other types of headwear, even if there is no evidence to prove that beyond a shadow of a doubt. To do so would mean that one is trying to read more into the verse than what is actually stated and is not truly seeking an exegesis of the Scriptures. Some have claimed that they are referring to a physical synthetic head covering because the Scriptures seem to indicate that there are two exclusive conditions in order to wear one and that is when a woman is either praying and/or prophesying. But does this interpretation stand up to logic? If we were to believe that under certain conditions a woman ought to wear a physical head covering, then it stands to reason that under OTHER conditions a woman should be able NOT to wear one. For example, if you are going to argue that a woman ought to wear a veil because the Bible claims there are two conditions, then it is logical to presume that any other condition would ALLOW them to be without one, like speaking in tongues, interpreting tongues, healing the sick, casting out devils, etc. Now if a head covering promoter should claim that there are MORE conditions, then they admit that there aren’t really “two” conditions thereby nullifying the two-condition argument. The reasoning behind why the “two-condition” argument is important for veil promoters is because if these words were actual conditions, then it would seem as though the covering were something that can be placed on or taken off. So even though it does not literally or EXPLICITLY say anything about putting on or taking off a veil. Veil promotors form this belief based on what they believe to be IMPLIED and not by a direct statement. Many people like to believe this because they ASSUME that praying and prophesying are two conditions instead of seeing them as mere examples. * Praying and prophesying were meant to be viewed as examples, not conditions… Now I can understand how someone can mistakenly conclude praying and prophesying as conditions in verse 5, on the surface, but once you read the rest of the verses in context one cannot reach that conclusion. For example, if the strongest argument is because there were conditions for women to wear veils because of verse 5 then why don’t we hear the same thing spoken of about men in verse 4? “Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.” Normally we do not hear the argument that men ought not to have their heads covered exclusively under two conditions as we hear for women as to why they should. I think it is because that would imply that they CAN have their heads covered under other circumstances like the examples I mentioned before as in speaking in tongues, interpreting tongues, healing the sick, casting out devils, etc. But I suspect a veil promoter would not go along with this. Then there is verse 7: “For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.” So, there seems to be ANOTHER reason for men not to cover. Therefore, if the reason for men not to cover their heads in this verse is because he is the “image and glory of God,” then why even mention praying or prophesying in verse 4? Should a man not be covered under ANY condition since verse 7 overrides any supposed conditions? Shouldn’t that make you question that perhaps Paul was just giving a couple of examples? Verses 4 and 5 are basically the same except for whom they are directed yet when one hears the arguments by veil promoters it is typically about how verse 5 is conditional for women yet for men in verse 4 it is usually not spoken of. Again, isn’t it more likely that Paul was using the words praying and prophesying as examples in both verses? We can also get a sense that Paul was referring to praying and prophesying as examples if we read verse 13 when it only mentions the word praying and NOT prophesying. “Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?” If there were only two exclusive conditions, then why would he leave out prophesying? We can’t say he got tired in his writing as he mentioned both words in verses 4 and 5. So, what can we say about this? Just that Paul was giving us a couple of examples of how doing something HOLY or GODLY does not give a pleasant appearance if the woman is uncovered, meaning not covered in long hair and the same goes for men when their heads are covered in long hair since that is exactly one is supposed to understand when reading verse 14.
I remember I came across a small Church in San Diego, where all the women to little girls had Head Covering n I asked, they referred me to read Corinthians. Very interesting 😊 Bless you!
I know this is an older video, however I am considering this because I feel convicted to do so. I was doing research and came across this video. Do you purchase your head coverings or do you make them? If you purchase, can you tell me where and if you make them can you tell me where to find patterns?
I have hears so many different sides. I wear headbands. Most of the time. I have also heard it was because Romas covered their heads (men and women), hair is the covering and should be long, women need to cover all the time , or when praying in public. I’m still looking. Thank you for sharing ❤ It’s an interesting topic/ verse.

What can be used?
@@siezetheclay what do you mean, "what can be used?" Please?
Just stumbled upon your TH-cam reels! I am inspired and encouraged by your story and your life!
Looking forward to the series. Please can you also talk about modesty/ wearing dresses? I notice on IG you don’t usually wear jeans etc.
Yep I’ll add that here too

Try Etsy. But I have an aunt who has made all of mine since I don't sew. My daughter bought one at ron jon, a surf shop and it is big and very nice.
