- Christian modesty...this is a tricky topic to talk about, but my heart and prayer in preparing for this video is that it would be done in truth and love. I am going to be talking through the heart behind modesty from a biblical perspective, and providing three practical questions for you to ask yourself when it comes down to the nitty gritty of deciding for yourself what or what not to wear. 💛

“Your modesty isn’t what makes you good, Jesus is.” That’s soooo good and a much needed reminder! 💛💛
Loved that !
So glad it was a good reminder 🤗
*The idea of "modesty" is a complete joke. God created us to be fully naked with NO SHAME and it was only when we started playing our own game that we started viewing our bodies as disgraceful. 99% of clothing has nothing to do with trying to be provocative, it's just the person wearing what makes them comfortable. Clothing does not influence bad actions, bad character is what does.*
@@starhunter9085 I understand what you say . But , in this world there are so many people who think that if a woman dresses in a certain way it means available for sex . So , dressing modestly cuts that out a little bit. We were originally naked . But for practical motives as much as anything the right types of clothing mattered . Jesus changes hearts that is true . But , we have to reflect the change .
As a Christian teen this video was soo helpful!! It's so easy to fall into the trap of wearing what everyone in the world is wearing but your video helped clarify a lot of things! Thanks for this❤️
I used to be that girl who would post photos of myself in a bikini and I would do it out of receiving validation (likes) from others. As I've given my life up for Christ and began my walk with Him, modesty was an area I purposely avoided because I still struggled with it. However, recently - the Holy Spirit has led me to learn more about modesty through watching RUclips videos and it has completely changed my outlook on it! Our bodies are not our own. Christ bought them with a price. And we ought to dress our bodies to REPRSENT Christ and glorify Him rather than for ourselves or for approval/attention of others! YES. I FELT THE HOLY SPIRIT IN ME JUST NOW. Thank you! ❤️✨
If u were spoilt and u submit to your lord, will he forgive?
Technically it is our bodies. We're the ones living in them.
@@BansheeKing22 They came from the Lord and belong to the Lord. When you repent and give your life to Jesus, and the Holy Spirit comes to live inside of you, our bodies belong to Him
@@jesusiskingofmyheart im still the one that lives in this body so whatever i do to it doesn't matter especially since when I die this body turns to bug food or if I have my way, burned on a pyre. Furthermore I could "repent" or whatever all I want. Nothings changed. Im still alone with no wife and life is still a waste of time.
@@BansheeKing22 I can relate to what you said. Before I accepted Jesus, I felt the same way. I had no hope in myself, others, and in this life! It wasn't until I gave my life to Christ I realized the true meaning of life and what Jesus did for me on the cross! You're right, this life IS meaningless and a waste of time if you don't have HOPE! Jesus is our only hope, in life and in death. This life is temporary, but we have eternity that awaits us... in Heaven or in hell. We are all sinners who have fallen short of the glory of God and we DESERVE death and hell, that is the curse that sin has brought upon us (goes all the way back to Adam & Eve), but by the grace of God, He sent his one and only son JESUS to die on our behalf so that we may have the gift of eternal life! What a gift and blessing that is! Praying for you, may God soften your heart and reveal Himself to you. He has a purpose and a plan for you, He created you and knows you by name. May you turn to Him and trust Jesus as your Lord & Savior!
here’s a quote from Pastor John Piper that i think it’s rly helpful and inspiring for me when i’m making big and small decisions in life, “The question is not, ‘What is wrong with it?’ but, ‘Will it make me more Christlike?’” no matter if i’m deciding my outfits or my diet or even my school choices, i’m trying my best to keep this quote in mind to live a life that glorifies GOD🤍
Wow I love that quote so much - SO good! 🙌🏼💛
I thought I'd add a comment speaking as a fairly young man. I think that this video is absolutely spot-on in addressing this subject. I believe both men and women should be modestly dressed.
I especially want to comment on the part where you said that how you dress determines what kind of attention you receive. From my perspective, women who choose to live out this particular doctrine are rare. As a Christian, I want to be with a woman who takes her faith seriously and lives by the Bible, no matter how the culture thinks of them.
To any woman reading this, please do not be afraid of standing out for choosing to live a modest lifestyle. I really respect people who aren't afraid to stand out for their faith.
Thank you . Yes men should dress modestly too. Not in tight jeans showing off everything only a potential wife should see.
Modesty of personality is something one should consider as well. How one acts can send a lot of messages as well. Thanks for the video, God Bless you. Have a great weekend.
"Seeking water from a well that will ultimately run dry" -- So good!!! 🙌
SO thankful that Jesus offers us something better 😭🙌🏼
very classy this is a good post...... modesty is not preoccupied with external appearances. It does not flaunt wealth, diminish others, or seek selfish attention; it professes reverence toward God. ......Dan ❤ヅ
Tough topic but you handled this so well, it's apparent you prayed and leaned on God to speak on this. Definitely an important topic, too many Christians and people in general avoid the topic of modesty but so important to talk about!
This is so very encouraging - thank you! 💛
Kaci, your love for Jesus is just so beautiful and inspiring. ❤️
You are always so encouraging, Kelsey! 😭💛
@@kacinicole Aw, thank you! But, YOU are always so encouraging.

@@starhunter9085 Ignorant. Clothes do influence
I appreciate this and felt you handled the topic very well. I actually appreciated the lack of a list of “dos and don’ts” because I feel modesty is in part a personal conviction... someone may not feel comfortable in the same clothes I do, and that’s totally fine. Provided we are both seeking God, no one is in the wrong.
I think context and audience are so important in being wise in different situations. The swimming costume I wore on my honeymoon isn't the one I would choose to take my nieces to the water park. Nor would I allow a social media post of myself wearing it. And I certainly wouldn't be wearing it to a cafe or the shops (a common occurrence with the 'beach culture' in my part of the world).
Couldn't agree with this more! There's certainly an appropriate context for different things and think you laid that out so well with the examples you gave! 🙌🏼
*The main problem with us as humans regarding physical modesty is that we view our bodies (nudity) as being inherently sexual. This is a false premise for the following reasons...*
*Bathing, changing clothes, childbirth, breastfeeding, sleeping, going to a sauna, getting a massage (at a spa), nurturing the elderly, nurturing the handicap ♿, locker rooms (for athletes).*
*All of these things require (or can involve) nudity but have nothing to do with anything sexual. Why? Because nudity isn't inherently sexual, it's only looked at like that because we make it sexual. So we can't assume that someone showing skin (not necessarily completely nude) is sexualising themselves so we can't say that you can "cause someone to lust" by not dressing "modestly".*
People think that just because we are made beautiful in the image of God means we can show our bodies. That is not the right perspective. God made everyone beautiful but we have to keep it for the right purpose and timing. Marriage was made by God so we no longer have to struggle with lust and sexual sin. And because marriage unites a man and a woman to become one, shame and guilt is removed and the couple can enjoy being naked among themselves as long as it’s kept out of public viewing. We are beautiful but it’s only for our spouse’s enjoyment. The union of spouse’s allows them to freely enjoy each other’s naked body whether it’s for viewing or for pleasure (touching and sexual intercourse) because that is God’s intention for them. Anything outside of marriage is considered a sin.
@@kennethfok that's all fine and dandy to the favorites who get it. The rest of us never get marriage no matter how much we pray or ask or try. So if we feel lust and have no healthy way to relieve it then that's not our fault.
@@kennethfokI still struggle with lust and I believe the apostle Paul wrote that it’s better to marry than to burn with passion. I really wanna enjoy my future spouse’s body and cuddle with each other while naked, like I struggle with that desire, but I don’t know when that will he
Anybody else watching this in 2021??
So much wisdom shared here. Thank you for always being so conscientious about staying true to God‘s word and yet sharing with such tenderness and sensitivity. 🥰
Just found your channel and I love it! I have been looking for a Christian RUclips who doesn’t just call themselves one, but lives it out. Thank you for this video! I’m going to share it with my younger cousins ❤️
this video was incredibly helpful, and the way you approached it was perfect - with sensitivity and love, but still boldly speaking truth and using scripture. Thank you so much for making this video and using your platform to glorify God
I love watching your videos they are so informing and helps me with my walk with Christ so much! This video specifically is amazing and a good watch for people in the world today!! What is funny is I was trying to explain this to my friends like two nights ago and I couldn't quite explain it well (I am not good at putting things into words, but I do try to lead by example) this video was perfect at explaining modesty and confirms what I was trying to tell them so thank you so so much!!
Wow wow this is incredible, as a mum of 2 and married for 15 years In this world, everything you've spoken about is full of righteous fruit and something the Lord has really put on my heart more recently. ❤
This is beautiful and much appreciated. I certainly feel the affirmation is something I have dealt with from the world and something I seek. But being reminded to look to Jesus is wonderful. I appreciate being reminded. Thank you !
I've always appreciated how modest you are IRL!! Love you, girly, and all of your videos!!
I've to speak on modesty today, I like that passage in Ezekiel that you used. Beautifully handled sister, keep the faith.
Great video, Kaci! When I visited Metropolitian Baptist Church in Fort Worth, the Pastor said when he had to turn around with the car and there was a bar, he would rather go on another mile and turn, lest someone would see him driving off the bar's parking lot!
This was a beautiful discussion ! It's all about your heart and what your intentions are. We should be glorifying God in all we do. Personally, I don't feel comfortable wearing shorts, short dresses and having my arms exposed all the time in the summer. I like to be comfy and cover myself mostly even in the summer time.
Great questions...to ask your self "Holy Spirit please give all of us listening understanding for these truths. And strength to act on your convictions. And thank you for Your grace and mercy as we follow You. In Jesus name, Amen."
This video is powerful! I am having to mush struggle with my wife and daughters with modesty. I thank you so mush my sister for that message. May Almighty God Bless you richly in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Excellent, Kaci!
Catching up on your videos. Love them!!! I agree with you.
Yes By our Talk,Walk and Live according to the Word of God.
Thank you for this thought provoking discussion ❤🙏🏽
Thank you for watching, and I’m so glad you found it thought-provoking! 🙏🏼💛
This is excellent. Sadly the only helpful, fruitful video I’ve been able to find.
Great Sermon Nicole 🙌🏽. I admire your modesty and your opinion on this!
This was amazing,explained really well. I was struggling to understand modesty but tgis really helped
Thank you so much this is amazing !! ❤️
Only half way through and loving it! Beautifully said!❤️🙏🏼❤️Jesus please help us😔🙏🏼
Amen to that! So glad you are enjoying it 💛☺️

I am loving your videos!Videos like this give me inspiration in my walk with the Lord. :)
So good, thank you and God bless your ministry.
Thank you for this video. I am a married woman (23 years married) and still found this very helpful. ❤
Well done young lady. Loved your approach and the verses you shared!
You reminded me of my teenage years not being to wear two piece bathing suits and having to wear skirt😊 or dress below the knee ❤❤
You are a very wise young grasshopper and I love your channel. I would love for you to upload some videos of some chat from those who discipled you.
Thank you ☺️ and God bless you ☺️☺️
Yes girl, I love that you put this video discussion together 💛 Really beautifully said. I too choose to wear modest clothes, however, this took time for me. As a teenager I wanted to show more skin because that’s how most girls dressed but as I matured spiritually, I began to see clothing differently. I appreciated many scriptural thoughts such as found in 1 Tim 2:9,10 and also the beautiful example of Esther who although was beautiful in appearance (Esther 2:7) she manifested the adornment of “the secret person of the heart.. of the quiet and mild spirit.” She did not count showy adornment as the important thing and because of this she gained favor in Gods eyes. In fact, he dedicated a whole book about her for our example 😊 I also appreciated your point that the world changes but God does not. Fads come and go but Gods standards of modesty remain the same. We do not want to allow ourselves to be swayed by the worlds opinion of what looks good on us but rather that modest clothing is beautiful in Gods eyes because it reflects love for him and modesty in mind and heart. ❤️
I love this. I wish I would have heard this message when I was a young girl ! God bless you :)
Romans 12:2
KJV- And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
ESV- Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
The same verse in different versions are so different. I wonder why
Well said. I’ll be sharing this video with my daughters.
Aw I love that - I hope it is helpful to them!
*Lust isn't about the physical aspect, it's about the psychological. Lust is a form of abuse and like all forms of abuse the psychological element is what drives the whole issue. As a survivor of childhood, domestic abuse, I know this almost better than anyone. The reason why people have this false sense of what lust is is because they don't understand that part, we see a mere fraction of what happened during these cases (the sexual assualt) and believe that's all there is to it. Because of this, we assume the victim was responsible for "enticing" the perpetrator, this is ignorance. What we don't see is the priming and grooming and intimidation and breaking down of the victim's psychology in order to make this happen. That part of it is more "fun" for the villain than the actual assualt and that's why all acts of lust (pedophilia, rape, incest, prostitution, porn, molestation, necrophilia, zoophilia, homosexuality) are deemed men-tall disorders. This is what I wish more people understood.*
Sister, I enjoyed this video on Christian modesty 🥰🥰 you did a wonderful job sister 🥰🥰 God bless you!!
Aw thank you so much, God bless you as well 🤗
@@kacinicole you're welcome 😍😍😍
you are so right👍
Excellent explanation! 👍💓
Amen very good
"Dressing for the Lord" by David Cloud is a good book that expounds on this matter.
Hi Kaci, there are many Bible translations in this world. Do you know what Bible translation that is the word of God?
i loved this video!
Modesty is goodness.
hi kacy sis , i like your video so much i am from india i will sharing the video with my friends
thank you
Can you do a video on Christian music and artists?
Classy presentation. I've noticed no one approaches specific clothing, EVER! Yoga pants leggings tights are todays norms and yes no one will condemn them for sure even though a female wearing them leaves nothing to the imagination in fact brings more intense provocative attention than being totally naked! Males with no females present, in discussion of this, 100% agree no exception. Is shocking that this fashion has become the norm 😮
God bless you!
🙏
thank you for this video! would you consider making an end times video on any topic ( rapture, rewards in heaven, antichrist, deception in church, etc.) because there are so many topics that can be covered
My problem is that I would love to wear more skirts and dresses but they just don''t suit me well. I was actually thinking about this for a few days, so your video didn't come as a cincidence for me, but I'm very depressed now. If I had bigger hips, and wasn't so slim, I would be thrilled to wear skirts, but now I just now I would feel ridiculuos and feel and look ugly.
I used to wish that so bad and now that I'm quite a bit bigger my hips are too big and I don't like skirts or dresses on me much. It's funny how we always want to look different. When we are skinny we want curves and when we are curvy we want to be thin. We just need to be content in the Lord and be guided by His Word! I wish I was thinner but I just have to figure out what looks best for my new body shape for the time being. Good luck my dear!
really? I was taught skirts and dresses are immodest and trousers are modest.... so I got sad because I thought it meant I had to stop wearing dresses
Young lady, thank you for thinking about how men can be easily distracted into unintended sin by ladies dressing immodestly. It is our fault if we sin, not yours. We need your help. This comment is from a man’s perspective.
sounds like you have good Parents
Yes, definitely thankful for them 😊
Which Bible version do you use, if you don't mind?
I use the ESV generally!
Personally, while I do believe that people should be allowed to dress modestly without being insulted for it and stuff, I don't believe that Bible teaches that lust is a sin. There are verses that equate it with potential to sin, but lust alone isn't labelled as sin. The verse in Matthew 5:27-27 doesn't translates as condemning lust in the original texts. In it's original text, it reads "Ἠκούσατε ὅτι ἐρρέθη· οὐ μοιχεύσεις. ἐγὼ δὲ λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι πᾶς ὁ βλέπων γυναῖκα πρὸς τὸ ἐπιθυμῆσαι αὐτὴν ἤδη ἐμοίχευσεν αὐτὴν ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ." What that most closely means in English is “You heard it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery,’ but I say to you that everyone who looks at a wife in order to covet her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” The standard understanding of that verse is that it's saying that man is sinning just by seeing a woman and feeling temptation, but what's it's actually doing emphasizing the important of the Old Testament rule about not coveting another person's wife. In other words, it's mental adultery to look at a woman who's married while yearning to want to be intimate with her, even though she's already married. Does that make sense?
The other thing I'd say to this is that it may indeed be seem wise for a believer to ask oneself if what they are wearing is something they'd be comfortable wearing around godly women, in front of their husbands etc., the issue there is that most Christians don't believe that wearing that type of thing around one's spouse is wrong, but the point still stands that believers generally wouldn't wear such stuff in front of certain individuals that they are clearly supposed to respect. So I personally don't think that we can necessarily say that just because a believer wouldn't wear something around such person, it's wrong to wear that thing in other contexts.

I'm not lowering it. I'm literally telling the truth about what the original text says and means. You have not disproven my claim. All you've done is show that you're offended by me not interpreting it how your church interprets it. Not once did I change or add to anything the Bible says
Personally I dont care what someone wears. I'll wear what i want regardless of who it's in front of. Hell the last time I ever set foot in a church is when I wore one of my old band shirts. Some people didn't like it, I didn't care. It fit so I wore it and If I had an attractive body and I wasn't butt ugly then I'd go out in a muscle shirt or shirtless more often. As it stands I'm ugly and my body is trash so I cover it.
Honestly I dont care what someone wears. If I wasnt grossly ugly and had a nice body I'd probably show it off too. That said its not my job to keep others from stumbling. People don't have to look. As for the school topic,, I'd never go to a school that dictates my hair length or demands I wear a stupid collard shirt. If girls wanna wear a two piece then more power to them because its not my problem. Besides it doesn't matter how I dress. Even if its supposedly only meant for a wife, it'll ever happen no matter how much I pray or ask god for a wife. so why should I care.
Is going braless wrong? Who likes going braless? Kaci Nicole what do you say?
The first lesson Lord taught to His creation was to make modest clothes by disapproving revealing what they made. God has not changed, He is the same forever. More revealing clothes have brought rape, sex trafficking, and sexual assault. Your body and yes only you can take care of it since we are free to choose.
Remember why God made enough clothes for the people who knew nothing about cloth. The answer is simple, to cover the body. Cloth is simply made to cover and if you are revealing then go to the Lord He will show you the standard since HE started the clothes code, not a worldly designer.

We do not allow our daughter to wear a 2 piece, she is now 9. We also do not allow her to wear shorty shirts, or mid drift shirts. I tell her, she is not a fish, she does not need to be baited.
When girls wear provocative clothing, they are trolling.
A side note, there are more sex traffickers than you all realize, don’t let your girls be the next victim. Don’t put them on display for show and tell, someone may call your bluff.
This modesty it becoming more misogynistic and sexist it pushing people away from God
No, society is becoming more immodest and moving away from God. People/women don’t like that their behavior is inappropriate, and they call conflate Gods word for mans oppression.
"Modesty died when clothes were born." - Mark Twain.
I be scared of modesty because I think you have to look like a Nun or those Mormon people I like wearing whatever what I like to wear

If you think it’s a joke why watch a video talking about it & further more comment? Lol
@@habeshasister11 *Because I can*
EXACTLY it becoming more misogynistic and sexist the modesty movement it toxic to me what can I wear what I want I don’t wanna look like a Nun everyday
I just read Genesis today. We were created with no shame in our nakedness, correct, but after Eve ate the fruit Adam and Eve quickly covered themselves due to shame. Therefore, being fallen people, we naturally experience shame in our nakedness. Shame is not always bad, if it guides us to better behavior, it is good.
The bible literally says we should be modest and if God created us to not need clothing and we still managed to sin why are you still on that? We live in a lustful world not in the garden of eden
