The influencer and entrepreneur recently posted a video of herself delivering a sermon to a room full of mostly women. While her message was empowering, many social media users were more focused on what she wore than what she said.

Others disagreed, suggesting that leaders in church settings should be mindful of how they present themselves. “There’s a time and place for everything, and church deserves respect,” another commenter said.
