This week on The Mormon Newscast, we kick things off with the story everyone's talking about—Latter-day Saint women lining up in droves to snag the Church's new sleeveless garments. For decades, complaints about the old design have simmered quietly, but this release sparked a full-blown “garment gold rush.” We'll unpack what this says about control,… Read More »Mormons Can’t Get Out Of Old Style Garments Fast Enough !

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Rend Your Heart, Not Your Garments” from Joel. We're taking a break from 1 Corinthians until after the holidays and starting a short series in the minor prophets.  This week our sermon will cover the book of Joel where God calls us to practice repentance at the core of who we are: the heart.

The sermon centres on the essential truth that salvation is not achieved through human effort or self-righteousness, but is a divine gift of righteousness and joy received through faith in Christ alone. Drawing from the parable of the wedding feast in Matthew 22 and the imagery of garments in Isaiah 61, it emphasizes that the wedding garment—symbolizing the righteousness of Christ—is not earned but divinely provided, covering the sinner's guilt and corruption. The sermon underscores that human attempts to clothe oneself in moral achievement or religious performance (the 'fig leaves' of self-effort) are insufficient before a holy God, and only the blood-stained, seamless robe of Christ, purchased through His sacrificial death, can secure eternal acceptance. This garment brings not only forgiveness and cleansing but also deep, soul-level joy rooted in a personal relationship with God, assuring believers that nothing—neither loss nor suffering—can separate them from the love of God in Christ. Ultimately, the gospel is presented as the power of God for salvation, revealing His righteousness and calling all to come, not in their own garments, but in the perfect covering of Christ, so that they may be prepared for the eternal marriage supper of the Lamb.

In this episode I sit down with fashion designer Osama Syed (Saaf Garments) to explore what it really means to honor your culture without being boxed in by it. We talk about identity, creative freedom, and the fine line between respecting where you come from and refusing to let it define your limits. Osama shares how he blends heritage with modern innovation, and why authenticity is about evolution — not imitation. This one's for anyone who's ever felt torn between tradition and self-expression, and is ready to build a life that reflects both roots and vision.

Joel 2:12-18 (KJV) Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: 13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil. 14 Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God? 15 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly: 16 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet. 17 Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God? 18 Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his people.

Exodus 39 – The Garments of Survival in the Fire | Torah Class (Ahava~Love Assembly)Shalom! In this Torah class we enter Exodus 39 — the chapter of priestly garments. More than fabric, these were garments of survival before Yahuah's consuming fire.We begin with the Parable of the King's Banquet and the Seamstress — a living picture of why no man can stand before Yahuah in his own covering.Every stitch in Exodus 39 preaches:The Ephod – burden of names carried on the shoulders.The Breastplate – judgment on the heart, justice + mercy fused.The Robe – sound and fruit together, or silence that proves death.The Crown – the forehead as altar, engraved with Yahuah's seal or rebellion's mark.The Completion – only two garments in the end: Yahusha's robe washed in blood, or nakedness for wrath.⚔️ This is not a tailoring record — it is prophecy of judgment. Exodus 39 prepares us for the Final Day, when only those clothed in Yahusha will survive.

A @Christadelphians Video: This two-part presentation was prompted by comments made on line by female Christian writers on the subject of nudity and dress codes. The comments were discovered by the presenter during research on the subject of modesty. In the opinion of these writers ‘there is no dress code' in the Bible. Furthermore, given that God at creation pronounced Adam and Eve ‘very good' in their naked state, then the concern for their nakedness and fig leaf invention and the subsequent skin covering provided by God was only to appease their shame. The writer's conclusion being that God was fine with them staying as they were. In fairness the author discussing nudity, was not suggesting that women should go about naked but simply that public nudity was not at a fundamental level a problem with God. The purpose of our presentations is to explore the Bible position on dress code, and nudity in session one, under the title “God Doesn't Care What I Wear”, and the second session the more nuanced subject of Modesty, under the heading of “The Woman is the Glory of the Man”. Description: As far as God is concerned, clothing was designed to represent humility and separation. We find that the Bible starts with nakedness and ends with appropriate clothing. God's view of modesty expected in a worshipper, as outlined in the Bible, is explored. Consideration is given to the roles of men and women as symbolising Christ and his Bride."Highlights

A kohen who isn't wearing all of the priestly garments cannot do the service. And he has to wear them well - but if they are too long or too short or too worn out, that would still be acceptable. But not if we doubled up or left off one of them (4 garments for a regular kohen, 8 for the kohen gadol). What about a bandage (we'll see tomorrow that it depends). Or dirty. All of those factors would invalidate the service. Also, the fabric of the garments have very specific criteria as well - in terms of it being fine linen and the way the threads are made.

Subsequently, she achieved a BSc Hons in Podiatry and practiced in a private setting for a decade. In 2008, she took the significant step of founding SRC Health. While recuperating in the hospital following the birth of her first child, Sinead O'Donovan, our founder, recognized the need for greater support for new mothers returning to their bustling lives. Leveraging her extensive medical and bio-mechanical expertise, she envisioned a garment that would provide comfort throughout the day while offering the necessary support for herself and other new mothers.Like all transformative ideas, this concept underwent an extended development phase to align with Sinead's original vision. Adjustments were made to the panel design, and in the pursuit of perfection, custom fabrics were created to meet the high standards set by Sinead.After two years of meticulous development and patient trials, the garment finally fulfilled all expectations. In 2008, the SRC Recovery Shorts were introduced, a unique and patented product that has since aided thousands of mothers worldwide in recovering more comfortably and savouring their time with their babies. The SRC Pregnancy range soon followed. SRC health now boasts an extensive range of medical compression garments.www.srchealth.comInstagram: @srchealthLINKS Mentioned75.

Stephen Angliss | In God's Instructions on the garments of the priests, He provides details that illustrate the kind of High Priest God is for His people, and also the kind of priests Christians should be as they represent Christ.  

Angel Marie and Kevin cover the Rundown followed by an in-depth interview with Founder of Pious Garments, Mia.

As God nears the end of His instructions on the Tabernacle, He instructs Moses on who should be selected as priests, what they should wear, and what they should do. Because Jesus is now the Great High Priest, and because Christ has called His followers to be a kingdom of priests, what God says about the priests in Exodus illustrates what Christ has done for His people and what His people should do for Him.

This week Frank and Dan take a long, hard look at the legacy of James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family and one of the most influential figures of the Religious Right. He spent decades pushing child abuse as “discipline,” spreading anti-LGBTQ hate, and shaping the culture wars that still drag us down today. With his passing, we're not exactly breaking out the hymns… We also dive into: Mormon women going wild over new, shoulder-baring garments An Episcopal priest who turned psychedelics into his new ministry A Catholic money man trying to steer investments away from LGBTQ rights and Planned Parenthood Bible verse sneakers making their way into the Museum of the Bible Mormon leaders panicking as church members turn to AI to write their sacrament talks

The sermon explores the concept of the virtuous woman as a poetic expression of God's law, emphasizing her role not as an unattainable ideal but as a model for living a life of service and responsibility. It highlights the importance of building strong Christian households, fostering a household economy through diligent work and supplementing income to benefit the community, and ultimately loving neighbors as oneself. The message underscores the significance of work, whether in business, homemaking, or other vocations, as a means of demonstrating Christian love and fulfilling God's purpose, ultimately moving beyond personal ambition to serve the needs of others and contribute to the well-being of the town.

In this edition, made possible with the support of Textile Exchange, host Philip Berman is joined by its Chief Strategy Officer, Ashley Gill, and mohair farmer and textile producer Frances Van Hasselt. Frances is at the heart of mohair production in South Africa - a country that supplies more than 50% of that fiber used in the world's textile industry. She is involved in everything from farming her family land, home to 7,000 Angora goats, to landing high-end fashion deals. Her family has also received accolades, winning the Miyuki Award 10 years in a row - a Japanese prize for the best quality mohair, produced globally under the most sustainable practices. In the conversation, Frances explores how being rooted in the land shapes every aspect of her work. She also discusses the challenges and pride associated with local production, and along with Ashley, explains the role that Textile Exchange's standards play in connecting small producers to the global supply chain.

It is forbidden to sew brand new garments during the Nine Days, starting from Rosh Hodesh Ab. Repairing garments, however, such as mending tears, sewing a patch or sewing a button that had fallen, is allowed. One should not purchase new garments or new shoes during the Nine Days. Before the Nine Days, starting from Shiba Asar Be'Tammuz, it is customary not to wear new garments, as we do not recite the Beracha of "She'hehiyanu" during this somber period, but one may purchase new garments to wear them after Tisha B'Ab. Starting from Rosh Hodesh Ab, however, one should not purchase new garments even if he does not intend to wear them until after Tisha B'Ab. This Halacha applies only to significant articles of clothing. Items such as hosiery, socks and undergarments, the purchase of which does not bring special joy, may be bought during the Nine Days. The Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909) writes that if a garment becomes available at a bargain price during the Nine Days, and the item will be more expensive after Tisha B'Ab, then one may purchase it during the Nine Days. Hacham Bension Abba Shaul (Israel, 1924-1998) ruled that if one's shoes were torn during the Nine Days, he may purchase a new pair. If a person realized before Tisha B'Ab that he does not have footwear for Tisha B'Ab – meaning, shoes or slippers that don't contain leather – then he may buy a pair of shoes to wear on Tisha B'Ab. He may wear them for the first time on Tisha B'Ab, because he wears them for the purpose of mourning, and this does not bring him special joy. If he has other shoes that are permissible for Tisha B'Ab, then he should preferably wear that other pair rather than purchase a new pair. But if he would otherwise need to go barefoot, he may certainly purchase a new pair of shoes. Regardless, Rav Yaakob Haim Sofer (Baghdad-Jerusalem, 1870-1939) writes in Kaf Ha'haim (551:96) that already before Rosh Hodesh Ab, one should make sure that he has suitable shoes for Tisha B'Ab. If somebody makes clothing for a living, he may continue working until the onset of the week of Tisha B'Ab, at which point he must refrain. However, if a tailor is very poor and needs to continue working so he can afford his basic necessities, then he may continue working even during the week of Tisha B'Ab, and, if necessary, even on Tisha B'Ab itself. If somebody owns a factory that manufactures clothing, and he would incur a loss by shutting the factory down during the Nine Days, as he would still be required to pay his employees, he may keep the business running. Even on Tisha B'Ab itself, a person is permitted to work when this is necessary to avoid a substantial financial loss, and so certainly during the Nine Days, one may continue manufacturing new clothing when a considerable loss is at stake. Generally, it is forbidden to knit or embroider during the Nine Days. However, if a woman is learning to knit in order to pursue knitting as a profession and earn a livelihood, then she may knit as part of her training during the Nine Days. Hacham Ovadia Yosef explained that teaching young women skills that they can use to earn a living and support their families is an important Misva – especially if these skills allow them to work from home and thus avoid compromises in Seniut (modesty) that are sometimes made when working outside the home. Therefore, it is entirely permissible to teach these classes during the Nine Days. Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach (Jerusalem, 1910-1995) was asked whether girls' summer camps that offer sewing and embroidery as activities may allow these activities to continue during the Nine Days. He replied that given the importance of attracting youngsters to summer programs run under religiously observant auspices, this may be allowed. If even a single knitting class is cancelled, Rav Shlomo Zalman said, it is possible that a girl or several girls will not want to join such a program, and will thus end up participating in programs that are not run in accordance with Halacha and Torah values. Therefore, the knitting activities can proceed as usual during the Nine Days. Women who knit for their emotional wellbeing, such as to keep themselves busy or as a way to effectively handle feelings of anxiety and the like, may knit during the Nine Days. Knitting for Misva purposes is allowed during the Nine Days. It is thus permissible to prepare threads for Sisit. Hacham Ovadia also ruled that if a pillow needs to be sewn to be used at a Berit Mila, this may be done during the Nine Days. Women who spin thread for a living may continue their work during the Nine Days. Producing threads does not bring joy like producing articles of clothing, and so this is permissible.

The author of Hebrews 12 says, "Let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.”  ‍How many of us are slowed down, or never finish the race at all, simply because we need to let go of some extra pounds? What are the weights that God is asking us to let go of? Is it the heavy burden of guilt and shame?  Well, take heart, because the bible says there is No Condemnation in Christ Jesus.
