First I would like to say that I am a man. I am listening to podcast and video’s like this because I am trying to learn and understand what kind of woman I should be searching for as a Christian. Our world today has become so corrupt and it’s so easy to make mistakes now when searching for a partner. I really like how it emphasizes the difference between outward beauty and inward beauty because for me and many other men, it is very easy to get caught up in the way a woman looks but thats not right. As a man, I should be searching for a woman who is first and foremost, in a deep relationship with God

Thank you for this video and explanation. I was always struggling to understand “quiet” part, as I’m naturally not a quiet person. I’m trying to develop gentle and calm spirit for the time being. Love to all ❤️

I listened to this with my two youngest daughters (14 &15 years old) and was blessed. God is doing wonderful things (as if He ceases to do that sort of thing) in my family and marriage). My wife isn't the best teacher or role model for my three girls. She is pretty turbulent in her demeanor and personality. But that being said I love her very much and see so much growth little by little (the way God does things mostly). Anyway, I look forward to listening to these messages with them praying that they grow more and more in love with Jesus. Also, we are planning a road trip in August from Texas to Grace Agenda and look forward to an opportunity to meet you and your very special husband and all the saints at Christ Kirk Moscow.

I appreciate your clarification that it's not about personality and or actual talking but rather character and demeanor. The words that come to mind are poise and dignity. I am sanguine in disposition and have struggled with this concept of beauty knowing it would be unattainable for me---unless I die to myself. And that's how this has been presented to me in the past so I feel defeated by it. The way you presented it was very hopeful but also convicting, that I do let myself get riled up, buffeted by the winds and so not necessarily approachable. Sometimes I am, but sometimes I am quick to anger, quick to speak and that certainly needs to be taken to the Lord. Thank you for taking the time to teach from the Word!

Some exegetical problems. "Let it not" doesn't mean that's the natural way it will be if you simply passively "let it" be that way. That's not what the Greek is communicating. Also, that's made clear by the rest of the passage, which says to "let" your beauty be a gentle and quiet spirit. Was brought here by a Tweet from Summer. Am disappointed in the content. Was hoping for more biblical insight, but this 17 minutes was pretty lacking, and the exegesis dubious at best.

@@luminitaman5135 I already pointed out this issues. @2:12 she says "do not let" means the force of gravity makes us focus on the external. As in, if we simply "let" gravity work, that's how things fall. Then @3:16 she quotes "rather let it be the hidden person of the heart". "Let it" is used in the "rather" clause, yet she doesn't draw the same conclusion -- that the force of gravity would make us focus on the hidden person. ἔστω οὐχ is not about "letting" something be, as in a passive acceptance. And coming from a KJV family, she should know better about how the older English works. Other translations make the meaning more clear: "must not be" and "should not consist of" or even "let your beauty not", simply moving the "let" to make it more clear that it's a command against something. The rest of the video lacks any real exegesis to engage with. She makes a lot of claims -- quiet doesn't mean silent, it means reverence, etc. That may or may not be true, but where is that in the text? She says it's invisible to everyone but God. But where is that in the text? In fact, the whole point -- context is everything -- is that your husband may see your behavior and be won over by it (verse 2). So it's not invisible. She says the NKJV adds the word "merely" to make it clear it's not a command against adorning yourself. She doesn't interact with a very similar passage -- 1 Timothy 2 -- where women are told not to have fancy hair, and to learn in submission and quietness. Very similar language being used, yet in 1 Timothy 2, the command against braided hair seems absolute. So she appeals to the NKJV adding the word "merely" to tell us how to interpret the text, but doesn't interact with a similar passage in Scripture which seems more absolute. And the entire passage is about how to win over your husbands, which she really doesn't speak of, and it doesn't inform her interpretation. So we got one woman's commentary that seems to be her own "Let's go around the table and everyone tell us what this verse means to you" take, rather than an informed, biblical take with sound exegesis.

I don’t believe that this text requires that much “exegesis.” It’s pretty straight forward. I don’t see how you can be so critical of her. She was expounding the text. She was encouraging women who live in a world that tells us to live exactly opposite of what this text states. That’s all. I don’t understand your criticism. If it’s not your cup of tea, that’s fine, but I would be willing to bet many women will benefit from hearing this good word.
