*There are two types of modesty: Spiritual and physical* *The Spiritual aspect is true 1000% and is made perfectly clear all throughout the Bible. It shows in the way we act and treat one another. It's what we carry in our hearts and minds and spirits. This is what God cares about and what we should be striving towards.* *Physical modesty is a lie. It's nothing but a man made ideology designed to manipulate and control one another due to our lust for power. It's based on ignorance and our lack of understanding of what our bodies truly represent. This has no basis in the Bible or science.*
*The Bible says our bodies are made in God's image and are the Temple of the Holy Spirit so, if that's the case, how could our bodies be a symbol of sin? Does the image of God spread lust? Does the Temple of the Holy Spirit cause someone to stumble? If so, does that mean God is evil? This is the issue with religion! The fact that it makes God look like the bad guy and that's because religion isn't a Godly design, it's a man made concept designed to masquerade as God's Word but it's really man's agenda.*
Recently going through a tough breakup and wow I’ve gotta say this video is EXACTLY what I needed to hear! Trying to find Christ myself recently and you guys set such a great example
Love this message about seeking God first, finding your confidence in Him but knowing it’s okay to do aesthetic things that make you feel good about yourself, knowing your self-worth, and attracting what you put out. Being a decade older than you, I found this refreshing and hopeful. Thank you for this content!
*Being nude with no shame was a state of connection between God and man since our bodies are made in God's image. Embracing one is embracing the other which is why we started hating our bodies when we sinned since sin is disobedience which brings disconnect with God. Clothing came from death which is the wage of sin so clothing is a symbol of shame and disconnect with God. It's not our honor, it's our faults displayed on our being. When Saul and the prophets were overtaken by the Holy Spirit, they stripped naked. When Isaiah started his ministry, he went naked (at God's command too). When Adam and Eve were perfect with God, they were naked. When David danced before the ark in God's name, he went half naked. Their nudity showed their ultimate union with the Father and everyone (Micah for David, Isaiah's critics for Isaiah and Adam and Eve themselves after the fall) who damned them for it, was cursed. The Bible makes it clear that the physical realm (clothing in this case) doesn't matter and we shouldn't make that our top priority. That actually completely contradicts the idea of physical modesty that religious zealots push since they're saying clothing is the end all be all of determining someone's faith.*
Also y'all are PREACHINGGG "if its [confidence] only going to be dependent upon you and others its not going to be sustaining" thank y'all for this video! loving it 💗💗

I’m in high school and I feel like especially at that age you can feel as though you need to be like everyone else and you need to look and act a certain way when that is not the case. Sometimes I get in way over my head and get clouded with thought of having to fit in and be like everyone else but this video was so amazing and hands down the best 24 minutes I have ever watched! I love you guys so much and I can’t wait to read your book Madi when it comes out in October! 💗💗💗
I really felt like God was using Madi to reach Peter on the bachelor, and as much as she was scrutinized publicly and despite the fact it didn’t work out I swear it will change his heart eventually. I wonder if she felt that too.

*Religion has twisted people's minds up so let me explain it.* *Nudity-The human body without clothes on. This has literally nothing to do with sex or sexuality, it's just the human body in its natural form.* *Sexuality-The attraction men and women feel for each other. This consists of the urges, desires and fantasies that we have on a daily basis. This is the most powerful urge God implanted in us in order to push us to being sexual beings with an urge for connection to each other. THIS IS WHAT GOD INTENDED FOR EVERYONE TO EMBRACE, ENJOY AND EXPLORE.* *Sex-The physical act of intimacy between two people (ideally a husband and wife) usually involving intercourse.

On the topic of confidence, especially in the subject of body positivity, I recommend reading Breaking Free from Body Shame by Jess Connolly. We put so much on our bodies when it comes to confidence. Gaining weight doesn’t make your body a problem. Your body is already good. You don’t have to get your body to a good place, it is already good. You don’t have to exercise or eat a certain thing to make your body look a certain way for confidence. You move your body because it is already good. Definitely go read that book! It is scriptural based and she opens to book with the idea that how we see our bodies is a spiritual issue because these are the bodies we have to worship God here on earth.
The attempt to speak on body image issues is appreciated. But it’s much deeper than having a pimple for most people. I also wonder, taking a step back I see hundreds of videos like this. I see so many influencers talk about all the terrible problems people have with social media. But of all the advice, not one will be the example to delete their social media. Not one. And they won’t encourage their followers to get off of it either. “Yea like take a break from social media for a day or something” is not enough for most people who’s body images and comparison and low self esteem stem from social media addiction. Our world is addicted. And we continue to consume endless mindless entertainment while life passes us by. Id love to hear these ladies speak on this. To go deeper than “yea I compare myself to other influencers and I get pimples sometimes.” I challenge Madison and Jeanine to throw out your makeup and log off social media. For good. How can you tell you don’t put your confidence in your makeup and social media when you don’t go a day without it?
I think this could be an interesting challenge. I commented that all should read Breaking Free from Body Shame by Jess Connolly because body image is a spiritual issue, not just blemishes and gained weight (and gained weight isn’t bad because our bodies are already good). I would rather follow someone that dives deep into understanding the body image issue of others and joining with them through scripture than people that show the highlights.
@@JeanineAmapola I don’t think you guys have ill intentions. I love watching your videos. But I also know how much you guys probably struggle as influencers. And I just wish it didn’t have to be that way. Thank you girls for speaking about these things!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this comment! I was off of all social media (except watching UA-cam videos) for about a year, and after going back on noticed my confidence issues came back. I’m happy to say I’m off again, it is so so freeing!
*Now the man and his wife were both naked, but they felt no shame. Genesis 2:25* *The idea of "modesty" is an absolute joke. God created us to be fully naked with NO SHAME and it was only when we started seeing the world through our eyes rather than through God's eyes that we started viewing our bodies as disgraceful. 99% of clothing has nothing to do with trying to be sexy, it's just the person wearing what makes them comfortable. Clothing doesn't influence evil actions, immoral character does.*
I use to watch you when I was in middle school. To find your channel again and see you advocating Gods word was so refreshing. I love it and this video so much ❤️
Thank you so much Jeanine and Maddi for this encouraging and lifting video! I have truly suffered from finding my purpose, but I think I can see the clearer picture that I just have to surrender all my plans and future to the One who holds it all. He has better plans and I've decided to say ''Have Your Way" no matter if I have to go through the fire or dessert, I'm willing to follow Him and see His grace in each seasons.

I love you both. Thank you so much for this video and for speaking the truth - gods word!! I feel as if a lot of people try to stay away from this topic, and it’s so refreshing to see y’all doing this!

I am so grateful for you talking about this topic! I feel like so many of us, myself included, need to hear all of this! It is so true that we need to know our identity in Christ. The world tells us something so different so we constantly need to be reminded of the truth. By the way, I just found your channel and I love all your videos! Thank you for making Christ-centered content! You are inspiring so many people!

It’s true that there will always be differences, but I think the idea that other bodies are “better” is a slippery idea because all bodies are good. Being more fit isn’t “better” and us labeling it as such can be harmful. I loved the book Breaking Free from Body Shame by Jess Connolly that teaches our bodies are good and we can exercise because they are good not because we are trying to make them good
*Read your Bible and you'll see it says that God created us nude with no shame. This was because in God's ideal world, we embrace our bodies as a physical reflection of God's spirit. God is an artist and we're His art 🎨 therefore, when you embrace yourself, you embrace Him. The reason Adam and Eve immediately hated themselves after they sinned and covered themselves is because they, in sinning, turned away from God and therefore turned away from themselves since their bodies reflected God. God didn't give them clothes because He chose to and He was "covering us in His glory"; that entire context was telling us about how we fell out of His glory. Clothing only came into play when shame, brokenness, evil, and sin did meaning that it's a symbol of these things and the broken bond between God and man. Being ashamed of your image is being ashamed of God's and He didn't create us to be ashamed of His masterpiece and bury it down to where nobody can see it, He created us to display our art in a museum and be happy when someone gazes upon our beauty. That's why people like David, Esther and Isaiah all got elevated when they did this but Vashti, Micah and Isaiah's critics, who bashed them for it, got kicked to the curve. That's also why people today, who flaunt their bodies, make it big while people who bash them fade into nothing.*
you guys inspire me so much. thank you. sometimes I feel like being single cripples me but you guys reminds me it doesn't and I can be amazing without that.
Thank you so much for posting this great video and answering with so much grace and wisdom! The type of clothes you wear in your videos would be considered immodest where I live (namely tight-fitting clothes, low-cut shirts, crop tops and short dresses and skirts) but it is so interesting to see how every culture is different. It is so beautiful and inspiring the fact that you desire to honor the body God has given you, follow the convictions God puts on your heart and dress modestly according to the context you are in.
*Now the man and his wife were both naked, but they felt no shame. Genesis 2:25* *The idea of "modesty" is an absolute joke.

@@thewriter2634 What you described happened before the fall. Once sin came into the world, Adam and Eve first covered themselves with fig leaves (Genesis 3:7). Later on, God clothes them with garments of skin (Genesis 3:21). Don't you also think that by doing so, God was saying fig leaves aren't modest enough or what would be your interpretation of this passage?
@@arbretree5463 *That verse in is in the context of God cursing the world 🌎 not blessing it. Clothing was at the core of this broken world 🌎. God gave them "better" clothing as a sign of our disconnect with Him since our bodies are made in His image and sinning was us falling away from Him and therefore falling away from our nature and purpose to be one with Him as art and artist. This wasn't a time of joy for God, it was a time of brokenness.* *There is no such thing as "modest or immodest" clothing. It's a false premise created out of ignorance and lack of understanding of what our bodies represent. Physical modesty varies all over the world throughout all nations, religions and cultures and has done so all throughout history. It's not something you can put under a microscope and study in a science lab or back with research or data or defend with faith (The Bible). It's just something based on feelings and emotions and that makes it empty.* *For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Ephesians 6:12* *So if a physical object really had the power that physical modesty teaches, why does the Bible say that the physical realm isn't where our war lies meaning that the physical world has no power?*
Omg, thank you so much for sharing your insight. I made note of the things you lovely ladies said because I feel like you couldn’t have said it any more beautifully. I aspire to be like the two of you!🤍😇🌻✨
Thank you Jeanine and Maddie for speaking so much truth and sharing so many biblical principles in this video. While I don't agree with wearing bikinis or crop tops, the overall message I believe is from God and is going to help so many young women out there. God bless you both!

Wow I love what you both shared about modesty. It is not talked about enough anymore! It’s all about the heart and if you are wearing or posting something for attention! Even in this way we are in the world but not of the world!!!
Had to pause the video 2 min in to tell y'all how much I am LOVING this choice of background music lollll its so soothing as you all are speaking haha. I love it here haha 🤩
Oh my gosh!!! This!!! Video!!! So much great advice and I love how raw and honest y’all were! So inspiring! And can we talk about that camera quality??? 😍

True confidence can only come from God alone. We can't get it from ourselves or the world. It will only leave us more empty and not worthy. It took me a long time to figure this out. Ladies and gentlemen comparison is the thief of joy.

Jeanine, Very very good video today! You and Madi brought it today! I feel like the topic of modesty is not addressed enough these days and that it would be a great idea for you and or both of you to continue that conversation in future segments. Many differing Christian women opinions of what modesty looks or should look like. Again, enjoyed this! God bless!👍🙏✌️ DJ

The Bible is clear that our bodies are made in God's image and, because of that, we're the crown jewel of His creation. That's why there was no shame in nudity but we've lost sight of that but that doesn't mean that truth changes. Hebrews 13:8 tells us that Jesus is the same yesterday and today and tomorrow so if He thought our bodies were shameless yesterday, He still believes this today. Yes we have to cover certain areas of our bodies when we're in public because we'll get arrested for indecent exposure if we don't but clothing isn't God's creation nor was it ever intended by Him so it's not a priority of His. 1 Samuel 16:7 says WE LOOK AT PHYSICAL APPEARANCE WHILE GOD LOOKS AT THE HEART ❤ and that couldn't be any more true. David, Esther, Isaiah and Adam and Eve (before the fall) were all elevated when they embraced their natural beauty (bodies) so our bodies are not shameful "stumbling blocks", they're glorious elevation tools.*

What’s yalls opinion on watching the bachelor in paradise etc? Do you feel like as Christians watching it is encouraging sexual immorality? I recently started being convicted about watching the show. I get everyone has their own convictions.

*The idea of "modesty" is an absolute joke. God created us to be fully naked with NO SHAME and it was only when we started seeing the world through our eyes rather than through God's eyes that we started viewing our bodies as disgraceful. 99% of clothing has nothing to do with trying to be sexy, it's just the person wearing what makes them comfortable. Clothing doesn't influence evil actions, immoral character does.* *But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." 1 Samuel 16:7*
*Being nude with no shame was a state of connection between God and man since our bodies are made in God's image. Embracing one is embracing the other which is why we started hating our bodies when we sinned since sin is disobedience which brings disconnect with God. Clothing came from death which is the wage of sin so clothing is a symbol of shame and disconnect with God. It's not our honor, it's our faults displayed on our being. When Saul and the prophets were overtaken by the Holy Spirit, they stripped naked. When Isaiah started his ministry, he went naked (at God's command too). When Adam and Eve were perfect with God, they were naked. When David danced before the ark in God's name, he went half naked. Their nudity showed their ultimate union with the Father and everyone (Micah for David, Isaiah's critics for Isaiah and Adam and Eve themselves after the fall) who damned them for it, was cursed. The Bible makes it clear that the physical realm (clothing in this case) doesn't matter and we shouldn't make that our top priority. That actually completely contradicts the idea of physical modesty that religious zealots push since they're saying clothing is the end all be all of determining someone's faith.*
Solomon prayed in Proverbs, Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me: Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.

I felt like it could have been said differently. I’ve seen so many say that they attract the wrong guys and we aren’t looking deeper (past trauma, misunderstandings of why we want to be with someone in the first place). Sometimes what we see as “showing too much” is someone that grew up with massive trauma related to what they wore being harmed, or what they were made fun of wearing. It isn’t just “what are you attracting?” It could be a deeper issue or thought process.
@@hannahrule4665 I totally agree. So many women get told things to make them feel ashamed of their bodies. When we praise someone for being so modest without knowing how they got there, we might be praising the wrong thing! I think that is true for far too many women: you get told “you’re going out in that?” and where before you thought you looked cute & wore something with innocence, you got made to feel differently.
You guys are so immersed in the culture that you don’t even realize how diluted your perspective of modesty is. If your line in “we love a good crop top” but boobs out is too much. It’s an arbitrary line
The amount of internalized sexism coming through during the modesty part was overwhelming. Really disappointing to see you two blaming women for the bad behavior of men.
Im pretty sure they addressed the issue that your mentioning by verbatim saying that men should be held accountable and that the way women dress does not excuse that inappropriate behavior. The point they are trying to make is how a Christian woman can dress in a way to honor her body and also in turn, help men overcome the sin of lust.
They absolutely did not put all the blame on women for the sinful behavior of men. Please listen to what Jeanine said again because she made is really clear that it was not the case.

@@kathyjones1235 *Showing biceps 💪 and thighs don't cause someone to lust (most people don't even know what lust is). The fact that you think people who dress revealingly only do so because they want attention and not possibly because they simply like that style is the problem with religious zealots. That's why I can't stand most religious people; they're a bunch of cultist nut jobs, who get pissy over everything they personally disagree with (just like SJWs). There is no such thing as "modest" or "immodest" clothing! Clothing is just clothing and everyone has the right to wear what they want. How someone dresses has nothing to do with anyone except the individual and what they find comfortable. In the Bible, people who proudly showcase their bodies (naked or not) get elevated while those who damn them for it are cursed. And, in our society, the same thing occurs. Our bodies are symbols of God's image and Temples of the Holy Spirit. Are you ashamed of God's image? Do you believe the Temple of the Spirit causes lust? No, of course not! So why would you believe that about your body?*

*There are two types of modesty: Spiritual and physical*
*The Spiritual aspect is true 1000% and is made perfectly clear all throughout the Bible. It shows in the way we act and treat one another. It's what we carry in our hearts and minds and spirits. This is what God cares about and what we should be striving towards.*
*Physical modesty is a lie. It's nothing but a man made ideology designed to manipulate and control one another due to our lust for power. It's based on ignorance and our lack of understanding of what our bodies truly represent. This has no basis in the Bible or science.*

Recently going through a tough breakup and wow I’ve gotta say this video is EXACTLY what I needed to hear! Trying to find Christ myself recently and you guys set such a great example
Love this message about seeking God first, finding your confidence in Him but knowing it’s okay to do aesthetic things that make you feel good about yourself, knowing your self-worth, and attracting what you put out. Being a decade older than you, I found this refreshing and hopeful. Thank you for this content!
I absolutely love the “day to day” body image and confidence reference! That made me feel a lot better!

I’m in high school and I feel like especially at that age you can feel as though you need to be like everyone else and you need to look and act a certain way when that is not the case. Sometimes I get in way over my head and get clouded with thought of having to fit in and be like everyone else but this video was so amazing and hands down the best 24 minutes I have ever watched! I love you guys so much and I can’t wait to read your book Madi when it comes out in October! 💗💗💗
Madis eyes are just so pretty
I really felt like God was using Madi to reach Peter on the bachelor, and as much as she was scrutinized publicly and despite the fact it didn’t work out I swear it will change his heart eventually. I wonder if she felt that too.

“Comparison is the death of joy.”
― Mark Twain
*Religion has twisted people's minds up so let me explain it.*
*Nudity-The human body without clothes on. This has literally nothing to do with sex or sexuality, it's just the human body in its natural form.*
*Sexuality-The attraction men and women feel for each other. This consists of the urges, desires and fantasies that we have on a daily basis. This is the most powerful urge God implanted in us in order to push us to being sexual beings with an urge for connection to each other. THIS IS WHAT GOD INTENDED FOR EVERYONE TO EMBRACE, ENJOY AND EXPLORE.*
*Sex-The physical act of intimacy between two people (ideally a husband and wife) usually involving intercourse. THIS IS WHAT GOD INTENDED FOR MAN AND WIFE ONLY.*
*These are the REAL meanings of these things but religion and human stupidity blur the lines between these things and merge them all together even though that makes no sense.*
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
UNBELIEVABLEY inspirational!!
On the topic of confidence, especially in the subject of body positivity, I recommend reading Breaking Free from Body Shame by Jess Connolly. We put so much on our bodies when it comes to confidence. Gaining weight doesn’t make your body a problem. Your body is already good. You don’t have to get your body to a good place, it is already good. You don’t have to exercise or eat a certain thing to make your body look a certain way for confidence. You move your body because it is already good. Definitely go read that book! It is scriptural based and she opens to book with the idea that how we see our bodies is a spiritual issue because these are the bodies we have to worship God here on earth.
The inner beauty of a" gentle & quiet spirit". That is true beauty says God's Word.
The attempt to speak on body image issues is appreciated. But it’s much deeper than having a pimple for most people. I also wonder, taking a step back I see hundreds of videos like this. I see so many influencers talk about all the terrible problems people have with social media. But of all the advice, not one will be the example to delete their social media. Not one. And they won’t encourage their followers to get off of it either. “Yea like take a break from social media for a day or something” is not enough for most people who’s body images and comparison and low self esteem stem from social media addiction. Our world is addicted. And we continue to consume endless mindless entertainment while life passes us by. Id love to hear these ladies speak on this. To go deeper than “yea I compare myself to other influencers and I get pimples sometimes.” I challenge Madison and Jeanine to throw out your makeup and log off social media. For good. How can you tell you don’t put your confidence in your makeup and social media when you don’t go a day without it?
I think this could be an interesting challenge. I commented that all should read Breaking Free from Body Shame by Jess Connolly because body image is a spiritual issue, not just blemishes and gained weight (and gained weight isn’t bad because our bodies are already good). I would rather follow someone that dives deep into understanding the body image issue of others and joining with them through scripture than people that show the highlights.
No youre absolutely right. We should have given some practical advice too!
@@JeanineAmapola I don’t think you guys have ill intentions. I love watching your videos. But I also know how much you guys probably struggle as influencers. And I just wish it didn’t have to be that way. Thank you girls for speaking about these things!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this comment! I was off of all social media (except watching UA-cam videos) for about a year, and after going back on noticed my confidence issues came back. I’m happy to say I’m off again, it is so so freeing!

I use to watch you when I was in middle school. To find your channel again and see you advocating Gods word was so refreshing. I love it and this video so much ❤️
Thank you so much Jeanine and Maddi for this encouraging and lifting video! I have truly suffered from finding my purpose, but I think I can see the clearer picture that I just have to surrender all my plans and future to the One who holds it all. He has better plans and I've decided to say ''Have Your Way" no matter if I have to go through the fire or dessert, I'm willing to follow Him and see His grace in each seasons.

I am so grateful for you talking about this topic! I feel like so many of us, myself included, need to hear all of this! It is so true that we need to know our identity in Christ. The world tells us something so different so we constantly need to be reminded of the truth. By the way, I just found your channel and I love all your videos! Thank you for making Christ-centered content! You are inspiring so many people!

I started following you because of Madi, and i love the content you both put out. It really helps my mood and my spirit! thank you!!
"There's always going to be a better body"...that hit!!
It’s true that there will always be differences, but I think the idea that other bodies are “better” is a slippery idea because all bodies are good. Being more fit isn’t “better” and us labeling it as such can be harmful. I loved the book Breaking Free from Body Shame by Jess Connolly that teaches our bodies are good and we can exercise because they are good not because we are trying to make them good
@@hannahrule4665 all bodies are good. But there differences like you said.
*Read your Bible and you'll see it says that God created us nude with no shame. This was because in God's ideal world, we embrace our bodies as a physical reflection of God's spirit. God is an artist and we're His art 🎨 therefore, when you embrace yourself, you embrace Him. The reason Adam and Eve immediately hated themselves after they sinned and covered themselves is because they, in sinning, turned away from God and therefore turned away from themselves since their bodies reflected God. God didn't give them clothes because He chose to and He was "covering us in His glory"; that entire context was telling us about how we fell out of His glory. Clothing only came into play when shame, brokenness, evil, and sin did meaning that it's a symbol of these things and the broken bond between God and man. Being ashamed of your image is being ashamed of God's and He didn't create us to be ashamed of His masterpiece and bury it down to where nobody can see it, He created us to display our art in a museum and be happy when someone gazes upon our beauty. That's why people like David, Esther and Isaiah all got elevated when they did this but Vashti, Micah and Isaiah's critics, who bashed them for it, got kicked to the curve. That's also why people today, who flaunt their bodies, make it big while people who bash them fade into nothing.*
I love this video so much🥲🤍 thank you for all your beautiful words, I really needed to hear this 💕
you guys inspire me so much. thank you. sometimes I feel like being single cripples me but you guys reminds me it doesn't and I can be amazing without that.
Thank you so much for posting this great video and answering with so much grace and wisdom! The type of clothes you wear in your videos would be considered immodest where I live (namely tight-fitting clothes, low-cut shirts, crop tops and short dresses and skirts) but it is so interesting to see how every culture is different. It is so beautiful and inspiring the fact that you desire to honor the body God has given you, follow the convictions God puts on your heart and dress modestly according to the context you are in.

@@thewriter2634 What you described happened before the fall. Once sin came into the world, Adam and Eve first covered themselves with fig leaves (Genesis 3:7). Later on, God clothes them with garments of skin (Genesis 3:21). Don't you also think that by doing so, God was saying fig leaves aren't modest enough or what would be your interpretation of this passage?
@@arbretree5463
*That verse in is in the context of God cursing the world 🌎 not blessing it. Clothing was at the core of this broken world 🌎. God gave them "better" clothing as a sign of our disconnect with Him since our bodies are made in His image and sinning was us falling away from Him and therefore falling away from our nature and purpose to be one with Him as art and artist. This wasn't a time of joy for God, it was a time of brokenness.*
*There is no such thing as "modest or immodest" clothing. It's a false premise created out of ignorance and lack of understanding of what our bodies represent. Physical modesty varies all over the world throughout all nations, religions and cultures and has done so all throughout history. It's not something you can put under a microscope and study in a science lab or back with research or data or defend with faith (The Bible). It's just something based on feelings and emotions and that makes it empty.*
*For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Ephesians 6:12*
*So if a physical object really had the power that physical modesty teaches, why does the Bible say that the physical realm isn't where our war lies meaning that the physical world has no power?*
Omg, thank you so much for sharing your insight. I made note of the things you lovely ladies said because I feel like you couldn’t have said it any more beautifully. I aspire to be like the two of you!🤍😇🌻✨
y’all are amazing 🤍

*Being nude with no shame was a state of connection between God and man since our bodies are made in God's image. Embracing one is embracing the other which is why we started hating our bodies when we sinned since sin is disobedience which brings disconnect with God. Clothing came from death which is the wage of sin so clothing is a symbol of shame and disconnect with God. It's not our honor, it's our faults displayed on our being. When Saul and the prophets were overtaken by the Holy Spirit, they stripped naked. When Isaiah started his ministry, he went naked (at God's command too). When Adam and Eve were perfect with God, they were naked. When David danced before the ark in God's name, he went half naked. Their nudity showed their ultimate union with the Father and everyone (Micah for David, Isaiah's critics for Isaiah and Adam and Eve themselves after the fall) who damned them for it, was cursed. The Bible makes it clear that the physical realm (clothing in this case) doesn't matter and we shouldn't make that our top priority. That actually completely contradicts the idea of physical modesty that religious zealots push since they're saying clothing is the end all be all of determining someone's faith.*

When Adam and Eve were perfect with God, they were naked. When David danced before the ark in God's name, he went half naked. Their nudity showed their ultimate union with the Father and everyone (Micah for David, Isaiah's critics for Isaiah and Adam and Eve themselves after the fall) who damned them for it, was cursed. The Bible makes it clear that the physical realm (clothing in this case) doesn't matter and we shouldn't make that our top priority. That actually completely contradicts the idea of physical modesty that religious zealots push since they're saying clothing is the end all be all of determining someone's faith.*
Spot on!!! Love following you two ❤
True confidence can only come from God alone. We can't get it from ourselves or the world. It will only leave us more empty and not worthy. It took me a long time to figure this out. Ladies and gentlemen comparison is the thief of joy.
Amen 🙏
*Being nude with no shame was a state of connection between God and man since our bodies are made in God's image. Embracing one is embracing embracing other which is why we started hating our bodies when we sinned since sin is disobedience which brings disconnect with God. Clothing came from death which is the wage of sin so clothing is a symbol of shame and disconnect with God. It's not our honor, it's our faults displayed on our being. When Saul and the prophets were overtaken by the Holy Spirit, they stripped naked. When Isaiah started his ministry, he went naked (at God's command too). When Adam and Eve were perfect with God, they were naked. When David danced before the ark in God's name, he went half naked. Their nudity showed their ultimate union with the Father and everyone (Micah for David, Isaiah's critics for Isaiah and Adam and Eve themselves after the fall) who damned them for it, was cursed. Those verses you posted were taken out of context. They're not saying anything about showing skin (not necessarily naked) being evil, they're simply saying that the physical realm (clothing in this case) doesn't matter and we shouldn't make that our top priority. That actually completely contradicts the idea of physical modesty that religious zealots push since they're saying clothing is the end all be all of determining someone's faith.*
Loved this vid so encouraging!!
Love it! Thanks for sharing guys ❤
I love these types of videos on advice from a sister in Christ! Please continue to do them 😊💜
Completely agree 👏🏻👏🏻
Yes yes yes! More of you two together please 🙏🏾😇
*Religion has twisted people's minds up so let me explain it.*
*Nudity-The human body without clothes on. This has literally nothing to do with sex or sexuality, it's just the human body in its natural form.*
*Sexuality-The attraction men and women feel for each other. This consists of the urges, desires and fantasies that we have on a daily basis. This is the most powerful urge God implanted in us in order to push us to being sexual beings with an urge for connection to each other. THIS IS WHAT GOD INTENDED FOR EVERYONE TO EMBRACE, ENJOY AND EXPLORE.*
*Sex-The physical act of intimacy between two people (ideally a husband and wife) usually involving intercourse. THIS IS WHAT GOD INTENDED FOR MAN AND WIFE ONLY.*
*These are the REAL meanings of these things but religion and human stupidity blur the lines between these things and merge them all together even though that makes no sense.*
Jeanine,
Very very good video today!
You and Madi brought it today!
I feel like the topic of modesty is not addressed enough these days and that it would be a great idea for you and or both of you to continue that conversation in future segments.
Many differing Christian women opinions of what modesty looks or should look like.
Again, enjoyed this!
God bless!👍🙏✌️

*There are two types of modesty: Spiritual and physical*
*The Spiritual aspect is true 1000% and is made perfectly clear all throughout the Bible. It shows in the way we act and treat one another. It's what we carry in our hearts and minds and spirits. This is what God cares about and what we should be striving towards.*
*Physical modesty is a lie. It's nothing but a man made ideology designed to manipulate and control one another due to our lust for power. It's based on ignorance and our lack of understanding of what our bodies truly represent. This has no basis in the Bible or science.*
the lighting and quality in this video is perfecto🤌🏼🤩
*The Bible says our bodies are made in God's image and are the Temple of the Holy Spirit so, if that's the case, how could our bodies be a symbol of sin? Does the image of God spread lust? Does the Temple of the Holy Spirit cause someone to stumble? If so, does that mean God is evil? This is the issue with religion! The fact that it makes God look like the bad guy and that's because religion isn't a Godly design, it's a man made concept designed to masquerade as God's Word but it's really man's agenda.*
Thanks for sharing your hearts! This was helpful! 💕
*But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." 1 Samuel 16:7*
*Nowhere in the Bible does it say that our bodies cause others to sin, that's a misinterpretation. The Bible is clear that our bodies are made in God's image and, because of that, we're the crown jewel of His creation. That's why there was no shame in nudity but we've lost sight of that but that doesn't mean that truth changes. Hebrews 13:8 tells us that Jesus is the same yesterday and today and tomorrow so if He thought our bodies were shameless yesterday, He still believes this today. Yes we have to cover certain areas of our bodies when we're in public because we'll get arrested for indecent exposure if we don't but clothing isn't God's creation nor was it ever intended by Him so it's not a priority of His. 1 Samuel 16:7 says WE LOOK AT PHYSICAL APPEARANCE WHILE GOD LOOKS AT THE HEART ❤ and that couldn't be any more true. David, Esther, Isaiah and Adam and Eve (before the fall) were all elevated when they embraced their natural beauty (bodies) so our bodies are not shameful "stumbling blocks", they're glorious elevation tools.*
needed this video, loved it!!!
I love this and I’ve loved getting to know Madi through your channel 💖
Love this and thank you for sharing your wisdom💛

I'm guilty of comparing myself to Jeanine Amapola and Madi Prewett.
💓💓 really liked this video. Thank you!
What’s yalls opinion on watching the bachelor in paradise etc? Do you feel like as Christians watching it is encouraging sexual immorality? I recently started being convicted about watching the show. I get everyone has their own convictions.
we both do not watch it!
Loved this ❤❤❤❤ Thank you so much, God bless ❤
*Read your Bible and you'll see it says that God created us nude with no shame. This was because in God's ideal world, we embrace our bodies as a physical reflection of God's spirit. God is an artist and we're His art 🎨 therefore, when you embrace yourself, you embrace Him. The reason Adam and Eve immediately hated themselves after they sinned and covered themselves is because they, in sinning, turned away from God and therefore turned away from themselves since their bodies reflected God. God didn't give them clothes because He chose to and He was "covering us in His glory"; that entire context was telling us about how we fell out of His glory. Clothing only came into play when shame, brokenness, evil, and sin did meaning that it's a symbol of these things and the broken bond between God and man. Being ashamed of your image is being ashamed of God's and He didn't create us to be ashamed of His masterpiece and bury it down to where nobody can see it, He created us to display our art in a museum and be happy when someone gazes upon our beauty. That's why people like David, Esther and Isaiah all got elevated when they did this but Vashti, Micah and Isaiah's critics, who bashed them for it, got kicked to the curve. That's also why people today, who flaunt their bodies, make it big while people who bash them fade into nothing.*

Such great advice in this video. 💙
well said.This is valuable information that every female should know👍💖
SOO GOOOD
Omg all this time, Maddie’s yr roommate! She visited my church a couple months ago here in South Florida! Hey Beautiesss
Love the advice. Very profound.

Both of them are oh so pretty ladies! 🤍
God doesn't make mistakes
Love this! Thank you!
*The idea of "modesty" is an absolute joke. God created us to be fully naked with NO SHAME and it was only when we started seeing the world through our eyes rather than through God's eyes that we started viewing our bodies as disgraceful. 99% of clothing has nothing to do with trying to be sexy, it's just the person wearing what makes them comfortable. Clothing doesn't influence evil actions, immoral character does.*

Really like watching you guys. I recommend you guys reading the book called All the Feels by Elizabeth Thompson
Solomon prayed in Proverbs, Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me: Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.
Great video
Love love love it
Another words be the best you, you can be
Maddy looks soooo different!
Amen yall r so gorg
Everyone is
You guys are 😍😍😍😍🥳✨🤍!!!
This is good.
Sorry but please do some research on Steven Furtick. He still needs to be saved. I love you both as sisters to warn you from false teachers, him being one.
That’s not your job to tell somebody not saved or not, if that’s up to your discernment don’t watch him then just simple as that
*Now the man and his wife were both naked, but they felt no shame. Genesis 2:25*

Felt like Madi was really judgmental in this video when it came to modesty.. didn't love it
I felt like it could have been said differently. I’ve seen so many say that they attract the wrong guys and we aren’t looking deeper (past trauma, misunderstandings of why we want to be with someone in the first place). Sometimes what we see as “showing too much” is someone that grew up with massive trauma related to what they wore being harmed, or what they were made fun of wearing. It isn’t just “what are you attracting?” It could be a deeper issue or thought process.
@@hannahrule4665 I totally agree.
So many women get told things to make them feel ashamed of their bodies. When we praise someone for being so modest without knowing how they got there, we might be praising the wrong thing!
I think that is true for far too many women: you get told “you’re going out in that?” and where before you thought you looked cute & wore something with innocence, you got made to feel differently.
Love you two God girls💕
This is random but I've got something to share! My pet peeve is when people wear sunglasses inside or at night for no good reason at all!
👍
You guys are so immersed in the culture that you don’t even realize how diluted your perspective of modesty is. If your line in “we love a good crop top” but boobs out is too much. It’s an arbitrary line
💎💎💎
🖤✍
The amount of internalized sexism coming through during the modesty part was overwhelming. Really disappointing to see you two blaming women for the bad behavior of men.
Im pretty sure they addressed the issue that your mentioning by verbatim saying that men should be held accountable and that the way women dress does not excuse that inappropriate behavior. The point they are trying to make is how a Christian woman can dress in a way to honor her body and also in turn, help men overcome the sin of lust.
They absolutely did not put all the blame on women for the sinful behavior of men. Please listen to what Jeanine said again because she made is really clear that it was not the case.
*The Bible says our bodies are made in God's image and are the Temple of the Holy Spirit so, if that's the case, how could our bodies be a symbol of sin? Does the image of God spread lust?

@@kathyjones1235 *Showing biceps 💪 and thighs don't cause someone to lust (most people don't even know what lust is). The fact that you think people who dress revealingly only do so because they want attention and not possibly because they simply like that style is the problem with religious zealots. That's why I can't stand most religious people; they're a bunch of cultist nut jobs, who get pissy over everything they personally disagree with (just like SJWs). There is no such thing as "modest" or "immodest" clothing! Clothing is just clothing and everyone has the right to wear what they want. How someone dresses has nothing to do with anyone except the individual and what they find comfortable. In the Bible, people who proudly showcase their bodies (naked or not) get elevated while those who damn them for it are cursed. And, in our society, the same thing occurs. Our bodies are symbols of God's image and Temples of the Holy Spirit. Are you ashamed of God's image? Do you believe the Temple of the Spirit causes lust? No, of course not! So why would you believe that about your body?*
