Steph Curry's Wife, Ayesha, Posts Controversial Tweet About Modesty
/ Marilette SanchezNamed the 2015 NBA MVP, Steph Curry has unabashedly used his platform to share his Christian faith and draw others to God. This weekend, his wife, Ayesha Curry became a trending topic herself with what seemed like a harmless and common-sense tweet about modesty.
Everyone's into barely wearing clothes these days huh? Not my style. I like to keep the good stuff covered up for the one who matters 😂😂😂

But of course, the Twitter-sphere exploded. Far be it from anyone--especially a Christian--to actually share a differing opinion from the status quo. In her ensuing tweets, she tried to give further context and explanation.
Just looking at the latest fashion trends. I'll take classy over trendy any day of the week. #saturdaynightinsight

Quite surprisingly, the secular Hip Hop magazine Vibe covered the story with a spin in favor of the Currys. So at the very least, this whole firestorm got people to think twice about the bare-all trends of women's fashion.
I'm inspired by Ayesha's boldness and self-confidence, despite the backlash. As Christians, let's all take notes and share what we know to be true, despite the negativity that will usually follow not too far behind.
😂 and all I'm doing is sitting here reading a style weekly 😎😎😎. You guys definitely entertain me that's for sure.

Regardless of if you like my "style of clothes" or not (which I don't care) please do not tear women down and degrade them... Not cool peeps

Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie’s Barbie movie was the most inspirational blockbuster for me since ‘Wonder Woman’. There, I said it.
Yes, I am a follower of Jesus. Yes, I believe in the beauty of marriage and the significance of motherhood. No, I don’t agree with every single aspect of the film.
Borrowing a concept from Andy Crouch in his book Culture Making, as a Christian, it’s easy to arrogantly condemn culture, quickly copy culture, or mindlessly consume culture, but my hope here is to bring a dialogue around the issues that the film attempts to address. If you want to see Barbie but are met with the thought that you might be “betraying your Christian faith,” I hope in sharing my perspective, you can find freedom to check out the movie for yourself and draw your own conclusion.
We define what Christian music is supposed to sound like. I think that's where we've got it wrong. God is not in a box. There can be a beautiful blend of what mainstream music sounds like and the authenticity of serving Jesus.
Based on all the hype surrounding Wonder Woman (starring Gal Gadot from the Fast and the Furious franchise), I expected to feel empowered and inspired as a woman. That, I did.
I never expected, however, to be glued to my seat for over two hours, seeing one biblical truth after another being portrayed flawlessly on screen.
It’s currently two days before my due date for Baby #4. This pregnancy has definitely been more of a whirlwind than all my past pregnancies, what, with three preschoolers and with a new hat I put on this fall: homeschooling mom.
Here are three important lessons that I learned during the course of my fourth pregnancy.
Moses and I were two months away from marriage and we sat in a park discussing our future: our pending marriage and my career.
I had no doubt that God was calling us to be married, but knowing that only added to my confusion. God, if You truly wanted us to be together, why would our careers clash like this?
“I think I’m falling in love with someone else,” I told Moses, my then boyfriend, over the phone.
“I can’t talk to you right now,” he said with a trembling voice. Then he hung up.
It was one week before our first dating anniversary.

American Christian culture can tend to be just as guilty as the secular culture when it comes to viewing women as nothing more than sexual objects. When we use the Christianese term “modesty” incorrectly, we can make it a dangerous concept.
