Can modesty actually be an act of worship? And what does that even look like in a world where “less is more” seems to be the fashion motto? In this episode, we dive into the ever-relevant and controversial topic of modesty—but not in a finger-waggy, rulebook kind of way. We’re talking about modesty as a form of worship that honors both God and the bodies He gave us. From 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 to 1 Peter 3:3-4, we unpack what Scripture actually says about how we present ourselves—especially in an era where TikTok trends and Insta-influencers are shaping how our daughters think about beauty and worth.

We also tackle those messy misconceptions about clothing and modesty, and how fashion can either reflect our faith or blur the lines. And for the moms raising girls in a culture that’s marketing crop tops and barely-there outfits to 8-year-olds? This conversation is for you. We'll look at how modesty has been both overemphasized in purity culture and undervalued in modern culture, and offer some real-life tips for teaching modesty without shame or legalism. Because guess what? You can raise daughters who are confident, stylish, and rooted in Christ.
