Believe me, I'm a model. ‘Being Authentic’ is More Than Just Being Honest. Of all the things the millennial generation wants out of church, authenticity may be the most important.
As a twentysomething pastor who lives in Silver Lake—a very creative, diverse, and subversive neighborhood in LA—I see the need for authenticity in the hearts of my neighbors, as well as in my own heart. It's the battle cry of our generation, often expressed publicly with ironic clothing and accessories, or more privately with heart-to-heart conversations over coffee and other things we love. I think the cry for authenticity stems out of the reality that we're a generation let down by previous ones. Past ideals don't work for us. We're fed up with wearing masks and hiding the truth about ourselves in an effort to blend in because it starves our hearts and leaves us empty. However, the quest for meaning isn't without its challenges.
What is Authenticity? Authenticity in the Church is the quality of our exposure of brokenness and adornment in God's grace. 1. “Deny yourself daily.” What the Bible Says About Beauty and Appearance. Psalm 139:14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
What it means: You are created in the image of God, and God doesn't make junk! Like a snowflake, every person is unique. No two are the same. God sees you as a masterpiece; and when you look in the mirror, He wants you to "know that full well. " 1 Samuel 16:7 But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him.
What it means: The world focuses on what people look like on the outside. Proverbs 31:30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. What it means: Beauty fades with age, so if you are more concerned with your outer appearance, you will be unhappy when the wrinkles come and the number on the scale goes up. 1 Peter 3:3-4 Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Jessica Rey - The evolution of the swim suit. Dove Real Beauty Sketches. Elsa, Kate Middleton, and Us. ‘In Disney’s animated feature Frozen, princess Elsa’s magical snow-making powers are unfurled as her dress melts into a tight evening gown — flashing her thigh and emphasizing her breasts — as she sashays into her new ice castle and belts out her ballad of empowerment, ‘Let It Go.’”
This is but one example Wendy Shalit points to of how “the expectation to look sexy” is “foisted on children” before anyone ever has the chance to explain sex “as a powerful force and something to look forward to.” Her A Return to Modesty: Rediscovering the Lost Virtue was rereleased in a 15th-anniversary edition this year. Shalit wrote the book after experiencing firsthand the hookup culture revving up in college in the mid 1990s. In her new preface, she recalls that she had become “distracted by all the unhappiness” she saw around her and “to be quite blunt, I was pretty miserable myself,” she writes. Things have improved in the years since. Positive Exposure – The Beauty of Difference – media voices for children.
December 10, 2010 | Rick Guidotti My career as a photographer started in 1982, shooting in the fashion and beauty industry as a freelance photographer in New York, Paris, Milan and London.
My clients included Elle, GQ, The New York Times, Yves Saint Laurent, L’Oreal and Revlon. As a fashion photographer, I was always told who was beautiful. As an artist, I was instinctively drawn to my own perception of beauty, which often fell outside the parameters of the beauty standard. The Teen Pregnancy Crisis is Worse Than You Think.
