Strong. Confident. His. | Christian Fitness, Devotionals, Biblical Health & Encouragement for Women

Have you been taught limiting beliefs? Did you know limiting beliefs don't come from God? Sweet friend, You were saved to shine for God, and to bring Him glory. Pause for a moment Do you experience limiting beliefs about God? Ask God to reveal His heart for you as a Father. Did you know God wants to be glorified through your successes? Faith Fuel: You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:14-16 ESV I'm never going to leave you without asking you to get into action. Nothing happens without action, and I'm here to be your accountability partner. Join My Power Up Challenge!

Today's show is real talk for women who love Jesus and fitness but can't seem to get to their goals… If I had a nickel for every time someone asked me what the secret to success was, I'd have a million dollars! Success with losing weight, toning up, leaning out, landing a magazine cover, starting a business, book or podcast. People reach out to me in desperation and beg me to give them the secret, but sweet friend, it does not exist! So why is it so hard to make healthy living a habit? Even when we're armed with our greatest determination and countless diet and training plans, it should be easy; but it's not. Somewhere between setting fitness goals and facing reality, we trade healthy habits for quick-fix gimmicks and temporary results. But where is Jesus in any of this? I left Him out of my fitness goals for far too long. My painful battle with losing weight and keeping it off led me to dark, desperate places where I tried diet pills and every fad diet I could find, and the end result was weight gain, frustration, and further self-loathing. Weighing myself daily, the number on the scale would determine my mood until God showed me how incredibly unhealthy this was and how to stop the vicious cycle. I know how hard this is. Even when we know better, we get tripped by the easy way out, quick fix gimmick, could it be true will it work, it's like they get us in our low points and it's just too irresistible for us not to try it, right? Just as I did, I want to help you trade the crazy chaos for success as a fearfully and wonderfully made woman of God. In prayer, God gave me this to give to you. My Success Equation: Seek + Surrender + Show Up = Success Seek God + Surrender it Daily to Him + Show Up for Him = Success Okay now you know I'm never going to leave you without asking you to get into action…nothing happens without action and I'm here to be your accountability partner.

Hey there, friend! Todays' show hits home for me in a very big way. This devotional comes straight from the pages of my journal. People ask me quite often, Kim how are you able to take on these goals and finish them… and the truth isn't pretty. Here it is, I slip, trip and fail my way across the finish line of success… It sounds funny to say, but if it wasn't for the Word of God to power me through, I would be a Jesus lovin' hot mess! If you need some bff girl time and a big dose of faith-filled motivation, this show is for you! Philippians 3:12-14 says, Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. >Our challenge is to forget what lies behind, to press on when we want to give up and to celebrate the women He is making each of us into. Hebrews 10:35-36 says, So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. Has anyone ever told you that, you are strong! You are! In the strength of God, you can press on, persevere and persist until you succeed. It all starts with just doing today. In this moment, I believe God is asking you to take the next step with Him. One step at a time is not too difficult. I want to leave you with one closing thought… The enemy is waiting for you to quit, don't do it..don't let him win. Let's pinky promise, we're going to press on! Okay now you know I'm never going to leave you without asking you to get into action…nothing happens without action. So it's about that time! >>>Power up!

If we're all being honest… How many times have you come to the end of the day and you're like, ugh...I didn't get my workout in? Or how many times have you excitedly set a fitness goal, but somehow it never made its way from your thoughts to your to do list? Let's be honest, getting fit can be hard...like exhausting hard. Many women tell me they have a continuously negative conversation going on with themselves and they beat themselves up, because they don't get their workouts in. This struggle to workout is compounded by the very unrealistic and single-focus of what it looks like to be fit. Fitness should be a lifestyle, not a look. This is why many women feel defeated and like, what's the point, because they can't measure up to their social media feed. Oh my friends, the point is YOU ARE WORTH TAKING CARE OF! Health is not something to take lightly, and what you look like on the inside matters more than the outside. It's so easy to get caught up in this space of negative self-talk and exhaustion, and when we do it's clear, we're not doing this with God or in His strength. The answer for those who love Jesus is so obvious, it's almost too obvious, and here it is: Seek God first and rely on His strength. Doing this is absolutely life-changing, so I've created a freebie to help you. Make sure to download it, here: https://www.kimdolanleto.com/fitgodsway If getting healthy and fit has been a struggle for you, I'd like you to think about this… Your loving father wants to do life with you, you are His daughter. He's there just like your father was when you were a little girl: reaching for your hand as you cross the street, watching you perform at your dance recital, and tucking you in at night. And now as an adult, He wants to do life with you. Every part of it! You are so loved! And you're not alone on your journey of health and fitness. Power Up Challenge! I challenge you to download your free guide and start today, and I want to hear all about it. Head over to my social media and let me know your F.A.I.T.H. goal. I believe in you, and I know that you can do all things through Christ who gives you strength. Remember you are, Strong. Confident. His.

There are few things as hard as losing weight and reaching our fitness goals, so we want to make sure we're not inadvertently sabotaging our best efforts. Psalm 119:105 says, "Your word is light unto my path and a lamp unto my feet" As we walk out our fitness through faith, we see from this scripture that God is with us. When we seek His word for answers, He's there showing us the way. God wants us empowered with knowledge, so make sure one of the following isn't keeping you from your goals. 1. You have a daily habit that has a grip on you 2. You think you can't! 3. You're not sleeping Did you know.. Sleeping an extra hour a night could help you drop 11 pounds in a year? Sleep controls your appetite: The two hormones that help regulate hunger—ghrelin and leptin—are affected by sleep: Ghrelin stimulates appetite, while leptin decreases it. Sweet friend, God wants us smart! He wants His daughters equipped. Take the time to know the sneaky traps that are sabotaging your best efforts!

Hey there, friend! Today's show is packed with tips on how to get your snacking under control. Can we snack without destroying our health goals? The answer is, yes. Did you know 94% of people in the US snack daily? I teach food, fitness and body confidence through the Word, so I prayed a lot about this episode, because, while I want to provide a ton of helpful tips... I always want to show how God relates to our struggles and put Him front and center. Think about this… Scripture teaches us that at the core of every human heart there is a deep spiritual hunger and thirst for God. When Jesus was tempted with hunger, He said, "It is written, "'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.'" Today as I go through these points think about: Discerning hunger from temptation and learning to know the difference. We can talk back to our temptations with scripture instead of listening to the lies they try to sell us. You are an overcomer friend! This message is needed. Please consider helping me share it. I'm never going to leave you without asking you to get into action. Nothing happens without action, and I'm here to be your accountability partner. Power Up! Subscribe/Rate/Review to the Strong.

Why are we so hard on ourselves? Do you beat yourself up? Do you rehearse what you should've, could've or would've done (fill in the blank) Do you feel like you're failing yourself every day? In your quiet moments, stop and reflect on this question: am I really failing or am I not living up to a standard that someone else made for me? >Sweet Friend – what extreme expectation or missed opportunity has a grip on you? Your inner dialogue is the steering wheel of your life, and like Carrie Underwood's song says, Jesus take the wheel. In our world, it's valued to be a perfectionist like when people say things like, 'oh you're too hard on yourself or you're your worst critic', but it's not healthy to be hard on yourself or be your own worst critic. Because here's the truth...whatever makes you doubt or question your worth has the ability to rob you, so take your power back! Take all the negative self-talk, criticism and remember it's nailed to the cross. It won't do you one bit of good to beat yourself up, although it's easier said than done. Intentionally choose to say this... Because He is enough, I will always be enough. I have a saying, and I smile every time I say it, In Jesus you have all the likes you need… feel free to share that! Okay now you know I'm never going to leave you without asking you to get into action…nothing happens without action. So it's about that time! >>>Power up!

Do you struggle with: Finding balance? Having a healthy body image and teaching it to your kids? Giving God your stress and problems, but taking them back? Needing to surrender parts of your life to Him to find peace? If so, this is for you… On today's new show, bold Jesus follower, beautiful busy mama, Barre 3 owner, Karie Johnson, and I talk about all of this and more on Strong. Confident. His. I have to share my goal, when I started the Strong. Confident. His. Podcast, I saw the power of bringing real women on the show who are doing extraordinary things. I want to help you realize that you can dream big dreams too, conquer your fitness goals, and find bold confidence in yourself through Christ. Too often we hear the word of God and even inspiring stories about people doing the very thing we long to accomplish, but somehow we count ourselves out. I don't want that to be you! Romans 12:2 tells us, "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. " Our minds are the battlefield, they are where we win or lose everyday. Renewing our minds to God's truth enables us to overcome the lies that hold us down, the anxiety that paralyzes our progress, and find success in surrender to Him. Whatever's holding you back, I'm praying that the power it has over you is gone! If there's something holding you back today, will you tune in and take action?

This topic is oh so good today. People always ask me how are you so motivated to workout, so I'm going to share my answer. The truth is I wasn't always motivated. Maybe today you feel like I did and working out seems like a chore, but it doesn't have to. Our world idealizes being fit with extremely lean bodies. I think this can make us feel defeated before we even start or make us quit when we don't see the progress the package or promotion promised us. ...But then we're missing the whole, real point of working out. Too often working out is all about what we look like instead of taking care of our bodies (His Temple) I jokingly say, it isn't about vanity it's about sanity, because working out makes you feel amazing! Who wants more energy, better sleep, less stress, increased cognitive function, and of course that beautiful God-given glow? I sure do! Jeremiah 29:11 shares that God has a purpose and a plan for your life, but how are you going to accomplish the things He has planned for you if you feel bad about yourself, are too tired or lack the motivation? Key takeaways: 1. Being fit is about living healthy, achieving your goals and how you feel – not just what you look like! 2. Know your why, what has God been calling you to do? What do you need to be healthy, fit and confident to accomplish? 3. Fuel your workouts with faith. Your true power source! Faith Fuel: Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. – (Heb. 11:1) I'm never going to leave you without asking you to get into action.

Are you tired of starting your diet over every Monday? Does it seem like you gain and lose the same five pounds every week? How many times have you said "this is it. I'm starting a diet on Monday?" And the weekend was an all out binge? Promising you're going to live on chicken, broccoli, salmon and green beans, oats, eggs and protein shakes, doesn't work! Let's face it, anyone who's been on a diet knows that willpower doesn't last. I rode this emotional roller coaster for years, and I learned the hard way, so I want to help you avoid the years of struggle. If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, then you have the power of the Holy Spirit working in you. Maybe you never made this connection, but it's absolutely life-changing. Did you know that you can trade willpower for the Holy Spirit gift of self-control? No diet can give you the spirit of self-control only God can do that. For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and self-control. (2 Tim 1:7) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; (Gal 5:22-23) But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. (Gal 5:16-17) In Christ, we have the ability to have self-control. I Created This Proven 5-Step System Based on Revelation 3:20 and the Acronym S.A.F.E Surrender Appetite Faithfully Everyday. Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me. (Rev. 3:20) Practice these 5 Ps at mealtime, and walk in the Holy Spirit gift of self-control The 5 Ps: Pause before you decide to eat, put on the Holy Spirit gift of self-control, and ask yourself if you're really hungry or if you're just feeding your emotions, boredom, or stress. Pray before meals. Invite God to eat with you. Lead with gratitude. Portion each meal. Be mindful of the amount of food you're eating. If you want to indulge in a treat, serve yourself a portion on a plate and then put the rest away. Refrain from eating out of containers, bags, boxes, or pans. Practice Grace, and get back on track faster and avoid beating yourself up. Eat slowly, take smaller bites, and try setting your fork down between bites. Create small daily wins in faith. Plan ahead. Make healthy meals as often as you can and always have healthy snacks on hand. Don't wait until you're hungry to find food. I know I rarely make good choices when I am starving. Plan to go have ice cream with your kids, plan date nights with your husband, but make the next meal a healthy one. Why this works: we can't conquer spiritual problems with worldly answers.

When you make the decision to change your health, pursue a fitness goal or tackle totally changing your body, it can feel like no one understands and that you're all alone. Do your friends and family have a hard time understanding your health goals? Have you ever felt really alone on your fitness journey? Do you feel unsupported? Maybe you feel like you're the only one who's felt this way, but I want you to assure that you're not. Fitness can feel isolating. Like In the middle of a gym, a group fitness class, or bringing a healthy meal to a party, you can feel completely invisible, and like you're working toward a goal that seems like no one really gets. I want you to know that you're not alone! We need to support each other.

Lisa Vasseur Jarvis and I share how to start your own faith and fitness community, the importance of faith in your food, fitness, confidence and how accountability in Christ changes everything. Lisa is a Proud Mom, Christ Follower, Fitness Instructor and Healthy Food Blogger. We cover these topics and so much more… Getting fit and staying fit is already hard, but when you couple that with: aging, hormones, dissatisfaction with your appearance, depression and feeling like you don't have a purpose, it can feel impossible. Lisa shares: 1. How she felt God calling her to teach faith in her fitness class and how she did it using Faith Inspired Transformation. 2. The feedback she's getting, and the overwhelming difference Jesus makes. 3. The advice she has for someone wanting to start a small group. Like having the courage to share Jesus in a place many people don't know He cares about. How rewarding it is. How God is calling us to His perfect plan. (at any age or stage, God's not done with us...If we're still here He has work for us to do. And we need to be healthy and fit to do it (mind and body). Who has He placed on your heart? Will you reach out to them today, or even take a big faith-filled step toward starting your own faith and fitness small group.

Last year was a very hard year for me, I haven't shared this publicly, but I had to have multiple surgeries. Without going into a lot of detail, the result was a medical malpractice lawsuit. Faced with a long ugly process, and little, if any reward, I felt God telling me to drop it, to trust Him, and to move on with my life. The moment I did, the floodgates of clarity, creativity and energy poured in. God put a new song in my heart and lit a fire in my soul. The morning after I let it go, while I was in prayer, I felt called to finish a big dream I'd had for years – write a faith and fitness devotional. With 20 years in the fitness industry, as a cover model, competitor and writer, I wanted to share how complete surrender of my appetite, fitness goals, and body image issues were the game changer. The difference Jesus made in my fitness was a lasting answer, and I've wanted to share for years. (to learn more about this, go here.) https://www.kimdolanleto.com/fit So...I woke up every morning with a mind full of words and a heart full of purpose. The minute I put my fingers on the keyboard, the words poured out. Isaiah 61:3 sums up my experience perfectly, God gives us beauty for ashes… God takes our pain, trials and failures and makes something beautiful out of them. Just when it seems impossible or too much to bare, He makes a way and gives you a new start. If that sounds like you today, I pray you're reinvigorated with hope. Come take my free Strong. Confident.

Today's devotional is all about: Trading What If's for the Power of Prayer "Call to me, and I will answer you." (Jeremiah 33:3) We have a promise that He hears us: "You will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you." (Jeremiah 29:12) Did you know there is Power in Prayer? Even scientists and medical journals say that Prayer speeds healing, lowers heart rate, and relieves stress, but a life of prayer goes way beyond these simple health benefits. If prayer is something you'd like to make a habit, or you just don't know where to start, today's show guides you through: 7 Different Ways to Quiet the What If's and Begin Practicing the Power of Prayer If praying is new to you, don't overthink it, and don't think you have to be perfect to talk to God. He wants to meet you right where you are. He is a loving Father. Here are some simple ways to pray and even make it a habit. Pray the Our Father. Tell God how grateful you are. Tell God what you need. Pray His Word back to Him. Write in a journal what you're praying for and all the prayers He's answered, because He'll do it again. Pray expectantly knowing that your Father in Heaven loves you. Look for prayer moments in your life. Pick a time of day and a place in your house where you spend time with God, and make it a daily routine. >>>Only God can turn what if's into peace and powerfully steady the mind. Sometimes we forget that we are children of God. So here's a loving reminder... Listen to Good, Good, Father By, Chris Tomlin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBmwwwiHrOk I want to pray for you to trade the worry of what if for the power of Prayer. Dear God, You are a good, good Father. Quiet the what if's and any negative thoughts from our hearts and replace them with the power of your presence. We have You as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul. Without you we fall apart. Speak to our hearts, Father, we need you. Today we trade the what if's for the power of prayer. In Jesus' name, amen. There is power in the name of Jesus! Praying says, "I can't God, but I believe You will." A Pastor that I have listened to for years says, fight every battle on your knees, and you'll win every time. Isn't that so good...

I've been hearing a lot of questions from Christian women lately due to the pandemic. Questions like… How do I stay strong in my faith? How do I fit a workout in and take care of myself with kids at home and how do I stay motivated? What do I do with my business goals, how do I pivot and prepare for the future? I'm not going to sugar coat it, we are living in uncertain times and things are changing every day. As women of God, we need to stand firm in our faith more than ever. I am amazed by the outpouring of the Christian community banding together in prayer, and seeing it on the news warms my soul. I'm watching women, like my Strong Confident His guest today, stepping up and serving their families, community and businesses in powerful faith-filled ways. If you need prayer today, your hope restored and could use some God-led motivation, we're here to serve you.

I want you to fulfill your goals and live out everything good that God has planned for you, so if you were thinking of quitting today... Don't you dare, don't give up on you, don't do it! Maybe today you're at your wits end and your goals feel hopeless, but I want to encourage you to wipe the slate clean and start over in this moment in God. The word tells us, not to look at the past, because God will do a new thing. "But forget all that—it is nothing compared to what I am going to do. For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it?" – Isaiah 43:19 GOD WILL DO A NEW THING! Now you might not see the results of your hard work or your prayers right away, but I can promise you this, being faithful pays off. Action Steps: Every decision to believe and act in faith is a step toward God's best version of you. Don't walk away from her today. Think of who you want to be and make choices to be her. I bet you're thinking...but what about when I don't feel like it? So here's our answer: For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, – 2 Timothy 1:6 Paul told Timothy this, because Timothy was a young preacher and he was helping him deal with staying the course when you don't feel like it. Timothy had doubts and fears. He was just like us. We have to stir ourselves up in the Lord, we have to fan the flame of the gift that God has given us. Don't you just love that? Oh so good! Power Up! I want you to take action. Please SUBSCRIBE to the Strong Confident His Podcast and head to social media to let me know how God is doing a new thing in your life under my social posts.

For as long as I can remember, I always felt like I didn't quite Have you ever felt that way? Over the years, I've tried to locate why I started having these feelings. I think it was a combination of things… On the first day of 8th grade, at a very hormonal time, I was told I was fat. At that moment, my identity was tied to the number on the scale. I began to live with the notion that if I weighed less, I'd be accepted or somehow better and this began an unhealthy shame over my weight. Around this same time, I was made fun of for being poor and it made me feel less than. But God healed me! Now, my identity is securely in Christ, and the numbers aren't my report card anymore! Even now, as I've pivoted in my career, people constantly say, you're too old, and it's too late. Again, with the numbers… I reject that thinking! And, I hope you do too. God in His overwhelming love has shown me the world's opinions are not my Jesus-loving truth! In Him, I have all I need. Doesn't the world try to use numbers to dictate our beauty and confidence: age, weight, salary, clothing size, and even zip code? But here's the truth: beauty and confidence don't come from numbers they come from knowing who you are in Christ. Do you struggle with numbers? Do you think you'd be happier if you wore this size, or weighed this much or if you were this age? What if today was the last day you allowed that number to define you or be your report card? We give numbers too much power and the enemy uses them to control us even shame us. Take your power back today…turn to God for your worth and choose to see yourself through His eyes. Can we pinky promise That today we'll trade the stronghold of this number ____________ for the beautiful confidence of who we are in Christ. Here's our faith fuel for the day: I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. – Psalm 139:14 ESV Remember you are, Strong. Confident.

Goal setting and achievement is an important part of living a life of fulfillment and confidence. Why is it that we often struggle to achieve the goals we have in our heart? What keeps us from taking the steps forward toward our goals? All too often, I get questions like this in the F.I.T. Sisters In Christ community, "why do I feel unworthy of success? I keep doing things to sabotage myself." Is there a place in your heart where you feel unworthy of succeeding at your fitness goals? Meet Kerry, a F.I.T. Sister who gave me permission to share her story in hopes of helping you today. Kerry came to me frustrated that she couldn't put on muscle after being bedridden from multiple surgeries. After a few meetings, Kerry's real problem surfaced. The emotional pain from her recent divorce and the guilt she felt for the change in her kids' lives was hurting her deeply. Her emotions were sabotaging her best efforts to care for herself and reach her fitness goals. She felt unworthy of success. Have you ever felt that way? I asked Kerry to write out these scriptures in first person, and I invite you to do the same. This is who God says you are… I am redeemed and forgiven. (Colossians 1:14) I am given a fresh start. (2 Corinthians 5:17) I am loved. (1 John 3:1) Understanding who God says she is, helped Kerry get free from thinking she didn't deserve to succeed because of what she went through. ACTION ITEMS I want to remind you today, that there isn't anything that can separate you from God's love! Here's the truth: You are worthy! God only made one you. He calls you His masterpiece. You are a piece of the master! It's time to activate and accomplish His perfect plan for your life, and you need to feel worthy to do it. When you know who you are in Him, you'll stop settling for less. You are loved, chosen and forgiven. But you have to forgive yourself! If this sounds like you, will you do that today? In Him, you can! Remember You are Strong. Confident. His. JOIN F.I.T. SISTERS IN CHRIST This episode was inspired from a question I commonly answer in my private Facebook group, F.I.T.

With all that is going on in the world, you may be tempted to pause or even freeze. The enemy uses fear to keep us from chasing our dreams and growing closer to God. We must recognize that fear is a liar with the mission of robbing us of peace, joy, health, and even the pursuit of our dreams. As with all battles, we need to arm ourselves with the word of God and intentionally choose FAITH over fear! Did you know fear not is in the bible, 365 times? That's a fear not for every day! So why did God mention this so much? Fear paralyzes us. Fear of what other people think Fear of the economy Fear of the unknown Fear of failure They all do one thing – keep us stuck in our head and from taking action. But in God, we can do things even when we feel fear! Locate your thoughts right now, are they fear-filled or faith-filled? I want you to think about this question… What has fear stolen from you? …health, career, sleep, peace? Did you know? Fear is a thief and a liar, but Faith is a rock and a comforter! ACTION STEPS Think about our question: I have let fear steal my dream/goal to _______________, but in God, I'm doing it ______________ . Fuel your fire with faith. God is with you, friend!

Mind: Mental and emotional health is a real struggle for many of us, I encourage you to cast your cares on Him for He cares for you. – 1 peter 5:7 When negative or fearful thoughts appear, recognize that this is the enemy and fight fear with faith. Look back at all God has brought you through and let that fuel your confidence. Body: Right now we all need to focus on our well-being over weight loss. Focus on self-care and time with God. This is not a time to feel pressured to lose weight or change too many eating habits. Conversely, it is also not a time to overindulge. Don't eat your emotions, give them to God! Soul: Put your hope in God, use this time to deepen your faith. John Paramore wrote something really special, it says, "I'm only truly certain about one thing, God has a plan. My hope isn't in the food supply. My hope isn't in the cure. My hope isn't in the hospital. My hope is in Him. That's more than enough!" Our emotional and mental health is more important than ever, let's guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus! Amen! We need to come together. Whatever you're facing today, you're not alone. I'm here praying for you, for our country and I want to stay connected. God only made ONE you, friend. I know it's not easy, but stay motivated to take care of yourself inside and out, from head to toe. God has work for you to do!
