Summary
Ready to go all in with God on your fitness? Could you use a step-by-step plan that puts Jesus at the center of your health journey? ➞ https://kimdolanleto.com/7-day-christian-fitness-challenge
If God's calling you into something new and it feels uncomfortable, this episode will help you trust Him in the messy middle and step into the higher purpose He's preparing for you.
Sister, has God ever stirred something new in your heart—something that excites you and scares you at the same time? You know He's calling you to grow, but this new season doesn't look like what you've always done. Maybe it's a new goal, a dream, or a shift in how you serve Him. You're stepping out of your comfort zone, and the middle feels messy—but that's exactly where God meets you.
You're not alone. I'm walking through this too. For years, God used me to inspire women in Christian fitness—to invite Him into their workouts, health goals, and daily habits. But lately, He's been stretching me beyond the gym and calling me higher—to help women find whole-life success in Him: faith, purpose, calling, and confidence that flows from Jesus.
Inside This Episode
In this raw and real episode of Strong. Confident. His., I'm inviting you behind the scenes of a brand-new season God is walking me through. You'll hear:
-
The story of how God pressed this shift on my heart—including the quiet moment of exhaustion that changed everything
-
The scriptures He's been highlighting to give me courage, peace, and direction
-
Four reflection questions to help you discern what God might be asking of you in your own new season
If you've been sensing that God has more for you—more purpose, more peace, and more impact—this episode will help you trust Him in the messy middle and step boldly into your next chapter.

Where is God calling you to change or grow?

What dream or passion has He placed in you that you've been hiding or doubting?

Are you thirsting for Him above all else, like the deer in Psalm 42?

Are you willing to step onto higher ground, trusting Him to steady your feet even when it feels uncertain?
Encouragment
Your next season may not look like your last—and that's okay. When God calls you higher, He also equips you. He expands your capacity, your anointing, and your impact.
If you remember nothing else, remember this: thirst for Him like the deer longs for water, and trust Him to steady your feet on the new heights.
