Episode 79: The Whys and Why Nots of Modesty

This week, we are tackling the subject of modesty! The first thing we discuss is why we both hate the word “modesty” and the words we prefer instead.

Then we move right on to four reasons modesty matters:

-how we dress should reflect that we are set apart
-we are dressing the temple of God
-dressing well is a form of self-respect
-how we dress reflects our heart toward God

And we also chat about three things modesty is not:

-it’s not a safeguard for men’s purity
-it’s not a list of rules
-it’s not a measuring stick for other women

Then to round out the episode we discuss how we are preparing to approach this volatile issue with our kids since I have all boys and Phy only has girls.

We also give a special shoutout to one of our favorite marriage/sex bloggers Sheila Gregoire!
