    I've struggled with this when going through puberty in the church and again when returning to Christ as a grown woman. Being naturally curvy, every Sunday is a small panic attack and I ask "is it possible that this regular dress I'm wearing will distract someone from worship? Will this keep someone from receiving the Word today?". I try to minimize and neutralize outward signs of beauty when preparing for church, so I can focus on God- but I can't change or neutralize my natural body shape. I'm grateful for your message today, it made me feel seen and heard. Thank you❤

      This is relatable! We can’t pretend like our bodies don’t exist, even though others who sexualize us would prefer for our bodies to not exist. You’re allowed to take up space and be BEAUTIFUL in the body that God gave you! It sounds as if you’re already considering others and stewarding it with care. So shake the shame off of you sis!!! 🥰🤍

      It's very easy to be decent in dressing. If your clothing are not projecting seduction you can know. Making your clothing tight fitting is where the issue is. You can't just say it's their fault to look when you are displaying it in a way that calls for them to look. Scripture talks about the attire of a harlot and modesty in dressing. If you are modest then you have nothing to worry about

    I always say that lust is the corruption of the perception of beauty. It makes you think you have to consume or covet something (or someone) because of it’s beauty for your own pleasure instead of just appreciate it as the beauty that it is.
    Think about art sculptures. It’s built for admiration and attraction. It would be wrong to sexualize it.
    The same goes for God’s creations.
    I’ve always been curvy and people tend to over sexualize me, shame me, or pretend I don’t exist in an attempt to not look at me lustfully, and it made me feel unsafe in my own body for almost my whole life. I’m only now getting to this place of accepting God telling me that my body is nothing to be ashamed of. We are his masterpieces!

It’s definitely exclusive over here 😂😂😂 my heart in this video was to highlight that women can’t control when they don’t want men to lust after them or find them “sexy” … because even if women aren’t seductive or immodest, there are men that find them sexy. So the point is for women to find freedom from shame when they’re not intentionally sexualizing themselves yet others are still find them appealing. Being SEDUCTIVE is SINFUL. But we can’t assume false responsibility and shame when others find us attractive. Our beauty has been given to us by God!

    I honestly believe that sexiness is just purely attraction, and you can't help who's attracted to you 😅 Like for example, plenty of times I have tried ministering to men or been around men in church who found me attractive. The men I tried ministering to would instantly try to flirt with me 😂 I usually had to straighten them out and let them know that I am a married woman. Honestly some cared and some didn't, but I had to learn that wasn't my issue. And I dress very modest so I wasn't trying to entice anyone, but I remember being bothered by that for a long time and I completely stopped ministering to men.

    I can't thank you enough addressing this and explaining to us what it means to be intentionally sexualizing yourself vs naturally being sexy in the skin God made you. Growing up I always wanted acceptance and validation from the opposite sex so i would purposefully dress inappropriately not realizing at the time how I was compromising myself and my relationship with God this also resulted in me lusting after men also . I didn't understand at the time why was behaving in that manner but now that i have developed a relationship with God I can look back and admit that i was broken. I no longer crave the desire to be accepted or lusted after by these men cause I AM a child God and his acceptance of me is enough.

    Thanks Amanda! This is a needful conversation and I believe you addressed it well. I have a different view on one of your points though. You mentioned that if one body type can wear something then all should be able to etc. Modesty is so nuanced, but we see biblically that God distributes gifts differently. As a bustier women there are outfits that won’t be as appropriate for me to wear compared to someone less endowed. And I’m okay with that. We have to steward what we have well. The rules aren’t hard and fast, but require sensitive to the spirit of God and the times we are in. Love x

    I think in this video, the part about Song of Solomon and who it’s written by and who it’s written to, it’s important to note the progression/nature of their relationship for people who may apply this in the wrong context as in a worldly “situationship” lol. Solomon is writing it about/to his soon to be bride and then she becomes his bride (chapters 4 & 5 say it specifically).
    Song of Solomon 4:8-12 NIV
    “Come with me from Lebanon, my bride, come with me from Lebanon. Descend from the crest of Amana, from the top of Senir, the summit of Hermon, from the lions' dens and the mountain haunts of leopards. [9] You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride; you have stolen my heart with one glance of your eyes, with one jewel of your necklace. [10] How delightful is your love, my sister, my bride! How much more pleasing is your love than wine, and the fragrance of your perfume more than any spice! [11] Your lips drop sweetness as the honeycomb, my bride; milk and honey are under your tongue. The fragrance of your garments is like the fragrance of Lebanon. [12] You are a garden locked up, my sister, my bride; you are a spring enclosed, a sealed fountain.”

    This was an incredible breakdown. I’ve been had a body but I’m a late bloomer in accepting my sexiness. I’m naturally humble about myself but I’m going through struggling with seduction. 😅 I mean the world keeps trying to put me in a “instagram” type of girl box and they disregard my heart and mind. I’m 31 now and never had a boyfriend nor male friends because they always end up liking me but feel like they’re not worthy enough for me especially when they see I’m very kind and intelligent. So suppressing my sensuality this long has made me into a monster with only teasing to get the attention I want 😢. I know it’s wrong because I get attention either way but the control I possess is not good and I like it. It scares me when I turn to God’s eyes and view myself. It will get me nowhere even if it is only teasing but I’ve been controlled for so long, I feel abandoned by God in the Romantic department and I told him I don’t understand and I’m confused on him giving me attractive qualities but every guy is too scared to approach. It hurts knowing I’m getting older and I’m clueless of what God wants from me. I prayed for years to remain faithful to him and his will but something in me is corrupted so please pray for me. I will always continue to express myself to the Lord and keep my heart open to him but it seems all avenues end with me being hurt that I’m alone lol. *sigh* Yes, I try to push my desire away and try to remember to put God first but time and healthy birthing rates have my human nature in a chokehold.

    First thank you for your courage in posting this! I love how you ended the video and I think there’s a lot of wisdom there and I can truly feel your heart’s desire however I can’t agree with the approach.
    I noticed that you read definitions for other words but not for “sexy”. The definition of sexy as well as synonyms for the word are specifically talking about arousal and I think the heart of the video could have avoided unnecessary confusion just using different terminology.
    As a naturally curvaceous woman I have been sexualized my entire life and it’s been terrible. I’ve been accused of being promiscuous and even had rumors about me started in churches and I don’t even wear form fitting clothes. So I want to acknowledge and thank you for your heart in defending the honor of those of us who are naturally shaped in a way most consider “attractive”.
    Here’s what I’ve learned through healing (because I did have a short season where I was vain only because I felt that was the limitation of my value after years of sexualization and God delivered me and is still reconciling me regarding demonization of my natural self):
    1. as ambassadors of Christ we are called to be in the world but not of it. Certain clothes I will not wear. I can’t hide my lower half and I don’t even try anymore lol, but I also don’t wear clothes that tightly crease around the sexual areas of my body. Especially being in ministry, the word tells us that we will be judged more and that much more is required of us.
    I can’t wear the same shorts as a skinnier woman just because we aren’t built the same lol. Just like I can’t wear most regular pants because my legs are long. We should dress comfortably according to our figures outside of sexuality. We’ve also been instructed not to take this much thought in what we wear because life is more than clothes which always alleviates me from any mental attacks of the enemy when I get ready to get dressed.
    2. Men are sexualized by women and raped but no one defends them and then we criminalize them for being sexualized at a young age and the conversations are generally very one sided as I feel this one is. The accountability should be even.
    3. The enemy is a perverter so he wants to pervert period. We are always warring for the deliverance of our minds. With this in mind, trying too hard to marry worldly language to the Christian walk is dangerous.
    Thank you for this it’s a necessary discussion. I could say a ton more but I’m sure this comment is already mad long lol ❤❤❤❤

    I hear what you’re trying to say but I feel it’s a bit more layered. 1 Cor 8:9 says “but you must be careful so that your freedom does not cause others with a weaker conscience to stumble”. So even if it’s not your intention you need to be mindful of the environment and who’s in that environment.
    So it’s not as simple as if it’s not your intention to be lustful or luster it’s fine to be sexy. And guess what, you can ask God “hey what would you have me wear today?” using the Holy Spirit to guide what you wear. We should include Him in every aspect of our daily lives💗

Hope a lot of people are viewing this to give everyone a wake up call about how they interpret an individual wrongly, because the person is attractive and dress nice without enticing any sexual/lust move on anyone❤🌹👍🌈

    I don’t usually comment on videos but this particular one I found myself praying for discernment throughout. I truly believe that people should not be sexualized… especially women given the destruction throughout history, however I strongly believe it is not godly to “identify” certain attributes as anything other than Gods creation. By stating “if you are a women with a sexier body” you are attached to the worldly views of what makes someone beautiful in this current culture meaning curves, perfect hair, long eyelashes or dramatic facial features and clear skin. It sadly makes people question ‘God, why didn’t you make me as beautiful as that girl that has the larger behind and breasts’. Men that are “attracted” to women with certain attributes are again, attached to worldly views and quite honestly trends. In my opinion I believe that women were created exactly how god intended. Eve most certainly did not have makeup or push up bras, or surgeons and I believe we were created to live as such it is sin that has brought all of the beauty standards into our world today.

      This girl is projecting her insecurity and “guilt” from the churches about being pretty onto other people.. saying “being sexy is praised in the Bible” that’s just wrong. The Bible says everyone is made in gods image. I don’t know why she is acting like being unattractive isn’t ok

    I like these topics for us women but tbh I have a problem with the use of the word sexy to describe a godly woman. Maybe it’s the langage barrier but in French the definition of sexy is « sexually attracting / which awaken sexual desire / seducting / enhancing features to create lust » I never liked being called sexy even before coming to Christ and it very rarely happened to me. I want people to see purity in me not sexiness specially since I’m not sexually active and not trying to seduce anyone . I truly think God created sexual attraction between husband and wife (your exemple with Adam and Eve = they were husband and wife so sexual partners)
    men and women can be sexually attracted to each other but we can control that and appreciate someone’s beauty without feeling sexually attracted to them. As fearfully and wonderfully made creature, made in the image of God, we can not say that the image of God is « sexy » but rather beautiful and pure so that’s what should comes out of us. I believe women can be beautiful and attractive (not in a sexual way but beauty can attract the eyes of people just like a mind blowing landscape) without being perceived as sexy in other eyes. I think it’s possible to hide our sexiness and reveal only to our husband (like when I realized that my curves could be seen as sexy when I wear tight jeans but go unoticed when I wear à pleated skirt while someone else could were a tight jean without making it sexy, we have to learn our attribute and be modest. But I totally agree that the person who is looking should examine their heart and remove any lust that is true but we should also learn to present ourself as pure as a dove. 🕊️😊 It goes both ways for sure, we are to be the guardian of our brothers, I don’t want to awaken a brother sexual attraction to me and they shouldn’t try to see where is my sexiness hidden because it’s reserved for intimacy with the person God has chosen for me, and women shouldn’t try to tear each other apart and judge each other but we can discuss and give advice to each other to be the most beautiful godly woman

    Hi Amanda! Thank you for this video!
    I wonder what you would think about being an amateur photo model for delicate and sensual (but not "sexy") photographs, that just show the natural beauty of a woman's body ? I just love those types oh photographs, and loved being a model until now, and it makes me sad to think that it could be a sinful activity and that I shouldn't like it. If you don't do that for your pride, but rather for your love for art and beauty, I can't see how it could be considered as something bad.

    I guess you don't understand what being sexy means. See the dictionary meaning below.
    adjective,sex·i·er, sex·i·est.
    concerned predominantly or excessively with sex; risqué:
    a sexy novel.
    sexually interesting or exciting; radiating sexuality:
    the sexy supermodel on the cover of a magazine.
    A Christian woman is to be sexy only in the presence of her husband.

      @@thingsilove18 hey we could debate, but I don’t think it’s a worthy pursuit. I’ll just paste here what ChatGPT says on the disputed matter:
      The question of whether the Beloved in the Song of Songs is married is a matter of interpretation and is subject to debate among scholars and readers of the text.
      Some scholars believe that the Beloved is unmarried, while others argue that she is married. Those who argue that the Beloved is unmarried often point to the fact that the text never explicitly mentions her being married, and that her relationship with the male lover seems to be characterized by a sense of newness and excitement. Additionally, some have noted that the Beloved's lack of social status and her ability to move about freely without a male escort suggest that she is not married.
      On the other hand, those who argue that the Beloved is married point to the fact that the text describes her as having a physical relationship with her lover, which would be considered inappropriate for an unmarried woman in ancient Israelite society. Additionally, some have noted that the language used to describe the Beloved's physical attributes, such as her breasts and her hair, suggest that she is a mature woman who has already gone through puberty, which would be more likely for a married woman than an unmarried one.
      Ultimately, the question of whether the Beloved in the Song of Songs is married is a matter of interpretation, and different readers may come to different conclusions based on their reading of the text.

      Hi, I agree with you. Every congregation has their traditions and norms with reference to what’s appropriate for being on stage, etc. My concern has been that some women allow the clothing designers of the day to dictate the direction of their wardrobe. For example, some of us would wear whatever is in. And while our intention is not to seduce, we may be contributing to the situation by just not considering others. Wearing a plunging neckline, and skin tight clothing, revealing all of our curves is reckless. It doesn’t matter our size. We must steward everything about our lives properly. It’s not okay to be wearing mini-skirts just because someone decided that’s the look for the praise teams these days 🤦🏽‍♀️. Our men’s clothing is also of concern….a lot of the pants are designed to drop off of them.
      While there is a heart check needed with both the one who wears and the one who sees, there is also the issue of the child of God not dressing themselves as if they’re living in a bubble. We do not dress just to please ourselves. Whatever we do….let it be to the glory of God.

    I know you said that isn't fair if a double AA cup can wear something and it's okay with everyone, but a G cup can't.
    Life isn't fair though.
    Some things just look more modest on certain body types.
    I think God has even been trying to convict me on dressing modestly. 🤔
    I don't even wear things that provocative.
    I wear fitted tops and pants, and maybe show a little cleavage from time to time.
    That's it.
    Anyway, if you are larger chested like me, certain kinds of tops & clothing just doesn't look so modest...it looks more provocative.
    We're supposed to be modest......1 Timothy 2:9
    [9]In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
    With that said, just to be on the safe side, it's best to ask God if He thinks what you're wearing is modest.
    If He says it's okay, you're good. 😊
