Writing Break: Back in January

We're on a Writing Break

Hey everyone, just a quick message to let you know that we’ll be taking a short break from posting. This is a needed hiatus to be able to work on the head covering book. It’s hard to find time to work on it when you’re crafting articles and filming videos, so I need some dedicated away-time to focus. We’ll be back in mid-January with regular posts again and hopefully the book will be ready for editing shortly after that.

While we’re gone please continue to send us links about head covering, share your covering testimony (women and pastors) and we’re also open for guest posts (just send us an e-mail with your idea).

Shining a spotlight on the head covering discussion happening worldwide.

  • Oh, I Submit Alright…But to What? (Enhance Lives)
    “I believe we can get out of this cycle of slipping back into worldly submission. Join me. We must submit to God…Here’s my plan: Head covering and growing my hair out. A symbol of submission that is tangible.”
  • Headcoverings: Now and Forever or Then and Now Never? (A Kiwi and an Emu)
    “It’s said that the first step towards solving a problem is to admit we have one. And we have one. We don’t like headcoverings. In fact, we don’t like them so much, that we approach this passage of Scripture trying to find ways to avoid applying it.”
  • How to Stand Out in Church (Truth at Home)
    “In a church where there about 3,000 attendees, I have discovered that there is one way to stick out for sure: wear a headcovering. When I first began to headcover, I felt so awkward and weird.”
  • The Biblical Pattern of the Local Church – Part 2 and Part 3 (Inside the Bible Weekly)
    “This section is vital, for it is neglected by far to many ‘churches.’ This is the teaching of Headship and the head covering, found in 1 Corinthians 11:1-15. Many raise objections to it. Many are undecided about it. And some would say that this applies at all times. What does Scripture teach?”

Covering Testimony: Irina Glazkova

Head Covering Testimonies
Name: Irina GlazkovaAge: 25Location: St. John's, NL, CanadaStarted Covering: October 2010

Covering Testimony: Irina Glazkova

1) Introduce yourself to our readers.

Hi, my name is Irina Glazkova and I’m a single, Christian woman who is originally from Russia. I’ve been in Canada since September 2007. Before that, I lived in the USA for 11 months as an exchange student. I accepted Lord Jesus as savior at the age of 12 after searching through many different philosophies. During my childhood and early teens I had been bullied a lot mostly because I was born with deformed limbs and I have had seven surgeries. When I was born, doctors tried to convince my mom to leave me at the hospital because I was very sick and had physical deformities. Sadly, this is a common practice in Russia and in most post-Soviet countries. My mom refused. She sacrificed so much for my well-being. My biggest dream is to see my family come to Salvation. Bullying led me to search for the truth. I just couldn’t come to terms that there was no justice. I used to go with my mom to a Russian Orthodox church. However, I was conflicted by praying to saints, kneeling in front of icons and many other things. While in the United States I lived in Baptist pastor’s family. This is where my faith began to grow. I was seventeen years old at this point. While living in the United States I considered studying in Canada. A lady from my current church (Faith Bible Chapel) came to the USA for her son’s graduation. In addition, Memorial University of Newfoundland gave me an entrance scholarship. The Lord lead me here to Newfoundland. I enjoy hikes, outdoors, crafts, reading, writing, singing and watching clouds. Read more

  • My Thoughts on Head Coverings (Modest Modern Maidens)
    “… I don’t know about you, but I’ve just been bombarded with the issue of head coverings for the past 6 months at least—and I ignored it for 5 months. Maybe it’s the groups I worship with or the type of surfing I do on the web, but all I know is that I just couldn’t seem to get away from it.”
  • Why do women from different cultures and religions cover their hair? (Modest Fashion Blog)
    “Women from many different cultures and religions practice the ancient ritual of covering their hair. Why do they do so, and how do they do so? The reason why Christian women cover their hair is…”
  • Head Covering (YouTube)
    Carlie (who shared her testimony with us here) did a series on head covering on her YouTube page. You can watch part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, and part 5 now.
  • Woman to Woman (Premier Christian Radio)
    Heather Tomlinson (whose article we posted here) talks on the radio about her experience with headcovering. Her section starts at 37:51 and runs until 45:27.

Covering Testimony: Samantha S.

1) Introduce yourself to our readers.

Hi there everybody! My name is Samantha. I am a 23 year old wife and mother. I’ve been married for a couple of years now and my husband and I have one precious toddler we adore. My husband is in the military, so we live an adventurous life of frequent moves and never knowing what God has in store for each new season of life. The military life certainly keeps us on our toes 😉 I have been a Christian since I was very young, and I have loved growing in my relationship with the Lord for several years now. My husband leads a Bible study, and I love learning more about scripture and watching others grow in their love and knowledge of the Lord as well. In my free time I enjoy reading, crochet, and making crafts.

2) Where do you attend church? Tell us a little bit about it.

My family attends a small non-denominational church. We have contemporary music with worship songs you might expect to hear on Christian radio. Our pastor is fantastic- he really teaches in his sermons, and every Sunday I leave church feeling like I really learned alot. Read more
