I’m Leah Pardee, co-host of the Bare Naked Soul podcast and founder of Clothed In Praise.

When I found myself wanting to praise Jesus by wearing clothes that promote Him, I just couldn’t find what I was looking for.

You see, I believe that God cares deeply for the well-being and justice of all people, so it’s important to me to mostly (I am not perfect) purchase clothing that has been made ethically or that is second hand.

Years ago, I learned about the unsafe working conditions, ridiculously long hours, unlivable wages, unpaid required overtime, and even child and slave labor in the fashion industry. I was appalled.

I made a point to start thrifting and to shop less in general. I am not perfect, but I like to avoid supporting this type of injustice as much as possible.

One day, in quiet time with Jesus, He gave me a vision of creating an ethical Christian clothing company.

I thought “this must already exist, and if it does I’ll just support someone else’s company”. That weekend I searched and searched, but couldn’t find styles I liked in the very few companies like this out there.

So, I followed the call, and Clothed In Praise was born!

My promise to you is to be fully transparent about the brands I use and how they source their clothing. I will continually search for the best possible brands to use, based on the certifications their manufacturing facilities have achieved, holding them to fair labor standards throughout their entire supply chain.

I hope you’ll join me on the mission to bring humanely made Jesus apparel to the worldwide Church!

So much love,

Leah Pardee
