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
I've never shared my testimony… until now.
There was a time in my life when everything fell apart—when I didn't know God yet, but He already knew me. And in that lowest place, He met me. That's where everything changed. 🙏
When you give your life to Jesus, brokenness becomes breakthrough, and breakthrough becomes blessing.
In this week's Strong. Confident. His. podcast episode, I'm sharing:
- What caused my brokenness
- The moment God used to lead me to Jesus
- How He turned my pain into purpose
- What He taught me that I can now share with you
If you've ever felt like there's a part of your past you can't get over, if you were hurt by someone you loved, or you just need the reminder that Jesus still wants to write the best story of your life—this is for you. 💗
Join me to learn how you can find Jesus too, or if you've already said yes to Him, listen to be reminded of His fingerprints all over your story.
God is good. Let's give Him the glory today for pulling us out of the pit of the life we knew before Him.

| 0:00.0 | I almost didn't share this episode. It was just too vulnerable and I was worried I would cry or I would just feel exposed, but I know it's for someone who feels broken, overlooked or stuck chasing the world's version of success. |
| 0:14.6 | Hey, sister and Christ, welcome back to the strong, confident, his podcast. You know, the world says success is hustle, money, and status, right? But God's |
| 0:23.0 | word tells us something far greater. Success is obedience, peace, and service. I know this because I've |
| 0:30.6 | not lived it perfectly, but because God brought me through seasons of brokenness, gave me breakthrough, and poured out a blessing. |
| 0:42.0 | I wrote in my journal, three chapters of my life, brokenness, breakthrough, and blessing. |
| 0:48.5 | And I want to invite you to look back with me and look at your own story, to God's hand at work even in the moments that felt |
| 0:56.0 | painful or hopeless and to remember that his sovereignty was guiding you all along. |
| 1:02.3 | Okay, the brokenness stage. |
| 1:05.3 | God takes what is broken and he makes it beautiful, but we don't stay in the mess. We testify to his redemption. |
| 1:14.2 | I'm thinking of the song, Jesus make new wine out of me. I don't know if you've heard that song. |
| 1:20.3 | It's painful, the crushing, right? The pressing, the crushing. He's making something new, right? |
| 1:29.1 | So let's look at these scriptures about brokenness. Psalm 3418 says, the Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in |
| 1:34.7 | spirit. Isaiah 61 says, he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted to proclaim liberty to |
| 1:41.7 | the captives and the opening of the prison to those who are bound. |
| 1:45.9 | I grew up in a broken home. I don't like talking about this because my parents both became |
| 1:50.3 | saved Christians and wonderful people, but I can't hide the fact that that broke me. Growing up, |
| 1:56.5 | the way that I did for a few years, really created a lot of unhealthy mindsets that I had to work through. |
| 2:04.1 | My parents blessed their beautiful hearts. I mean, my mom's literally my best friend now. So |
| 2:08.3 | just give me grace as I share this because the story turned out well, but that's not where I came |
| 2:13.2 | from. My parents were teenagers with five kids by the time they were 27. And my dad struggled with |
| 2:18.7 | alcohol and drugs and the emotional abuse I experienced left me very wounded. I carried a lot of shame |
| 2:24.9 | and rejection everywhere I went. I remember a teacher. I was writing a line. I was trying to draw a line |
