Modesty

Are your outfits designed to get attention at school or church?

Are you pretty sure you dress modestly—compared to everyone else?

Are your clothing choices no one else’s business?

If your answer to any of these questions is yes, Martha and Kent challenge you to think again. What you wear is a big deal because it says a lot about how you view God, others, and even yourself. And that can be a problem if your view is off-center.

How do you create a positive message of modesty? By treating the cause, not the symptom, and experiencing change in your heart before you change your clothes! Martha and Kent talk about the causes and consequences of immodesty, avoiding legalism, and practical ways to honor God in what you wear. Discussion questions will give you much to consider about God’s reasons for modesty.
