Hope Agustin joins The Head Covering Movement as our new video content creator! Here, she shares the story of her childhood in an unhealthy church & family culture to finding freedom and joy in Christ. Part of this journey includes an ongoing personal commitment to the beauty of biblical head covering.
Adam McIntosh, pastor at St. David’s Reformed Church in Houston, and writing for Kuyperian Commentary, published an intriguing three-part series attempting to “uncover the head covering movement.” In Part One of the series, he introduced “10 vital questions which must be answered” in order to understand what the Bible really teaches about head covering. In Part Two, he attempted to answer these 10 questions. Part Three addressed the “dangers to be avoided” when head covering.
Since Head Covering Movement Co-Director David Phillips already did an excellent job of addressing the theological assumptions and objections brought up in this series, my goal is simply to respond as a head covering woman to some of the ideas put forth in McIntosh’s series. I agreed with some of his ideas. Others I found to be inaccurate. And I felt that some of them were a bit offensive. I will be addressing this from a “heart” perspective.Read more

As my parents’ Ford Ranger rumbled down the dirt driveway – with me at the steering wheel – I struggled within myself about whether or not I was doing the right thing. I was 13 years old and not supposed to be driving on any public roads. This would definitely count as “against the law” – but my mom had told me to do it. I was instructed to drive to the nearby gas station to pick up something she needed. I could have ridden my bike there, but I guess she was in a hurry.
What should I do? Obey my mom, or obey the law? I prayed for God to help me.Read more
Name: Syrina Fields | Age: 29 | Location: Caputa, South Dakota | Date started covering: March, 2022
1) Introduce yourself to our readers.
My name is Syrina Fields. I am a follower of Christ, mom of two kids, wife, and farmer. I’m a lover of the outdoors, hunting, fishing, art, anything vintage, and a good ole cup of coffee.
I attend church at Harvest Time Freewill Baptist Church in Box Elder, SD. It’s similar to a Southern Baptist church. Freewill Baptist churches are very common where my husband grew up in the Ohio/Kentucky area. At first, I was the only one practicing head covering at church. However, the pastor’s fiancé and mother have both started covering, which has opened a lot of doors to conversations regarding head covering and the biblical meaning behind it.
2) What led you to start covering?
I originally thought that head covering was something specific to a different religion – not even part of Christianity – and mostly an issue of control.
In 2020 and 2021, I was feeling the need to start building a closer relationship with my Heavenly Father. I was questioning both my internal and external self. You could say I was feeling led as a wife, daughter, friend, and mother of a young lady to ensure I was showing my children what the true godly role was for a woman. At the same time, I was hearing a lot of political views about what a woman is, and my friends and family had their own opinions of the role of a woman in the household.Read more
In a world whose refrains are “just be yourself” and “follow your heart,” the woman who chooses to be who God made her to be and to follow God’s Word may be seen as weird and non-progressive. Outright backward. Even a traitor to herself and other women.
