• 5 Worldly Lies That Trap Christian Women (and the Truth That Sets You Free)
    Oct 14 2025
    šŸ”„We’ve been lied to. Every scroll, every ad, every ā€œboss-babeā€ message is teaching us to chase success the world’s way—leaving us stuck, striving, and spiritually empty.

    But not today.

    Today, we’re exposing 5 of the biggest lies Christian women are believing… and replacing them with God’s truth that sets us free.

    If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the things and still not enough, this episode is for you.
    Let’s get free, God’s way.

    Episode Summary:

    The world says hustle harder, look perfect, and do it all.
    But God says be still, abide, and let Me lead.

    In this powerful episode, I call out 5 common lies that keep Christian women striving instead of surrendering—and shares the biblical truths that restore peace, purpose, and confidence.

    You’ll walk away knowing how to:

    • Recognize the lies keeping you stuck

    • Replace worldly pressure with godly peace

    • Rebuild your confidence through Scripture

    • Rest in God’s plan instead of your own

    What You’ll Learn:

    1ļøāƒ£ The Finish Line Lie:
    There’s no ā€œarrivalā€ moment in faith—just daily faithfulness. (Philippians 3:14)

    2ļøāƒ£ The Shortcut Trap:
    God’s blessings come through sowing, not shortcuts. (Galatians 6:9)

    3ļøāƒ£ The Not-Enough Lie:
    You’re not behind or broken—you’re complete in Christ. (Colossians 2:10)

    4ļøāƒ£ The Control Illusion:
    Peace doesn’t come from control—it comes from trust. (Proverbs 3:5–6)

    5ļøāƒ£ The Hustle Deception:
    Burnout isn’t holy. Rest is your warfare. (Matthew 11:28)

    Bonus Truth:
    Confidence without Christ is counterfeit. (1 John 4:19)

    Declarations to Speak Out Loud:

    ā€œI don’t chase arrival—I walk in daily revival.ā€
    ā€œI sow in faith and reap in God’s time.ā€
    ā€œI release control and rest in His direction.ā€
    ā€œPeace is power. Rest is warfare.ā€

    Quick Recap:

    Each of these lies can keep you striving instead of surrendering—
    but God’s truth sets you free.
    There’s no finish line, no shortcut, and no hustle strong enough to replace His peace.
    You’re already complete in Christ, and your worth is found in Him alone.

    Scriptures Mentioned:

    Philippians 3:14 • Galatians 6:9 • Colossians 2:10 • Proverbs 3:5–6 • Matthew 11:28 • 1 John 4:19

    Faith Over Hustle:

    The world says, ā€œHustle harder.ā€
    God says, ā€œBe still and know.ā€

    If this episode gave you that holy wake-up call, share it with a sister who’s ready to trade burnout for breakthrough.

    Then head to https://kimdolanleto.com/7-day-christian-fitness-challenge āžž
    and start building your strength, confidence, and success—God’s way.

    Because the world offers pressure, but Jesus offers peace.

  • 277. When God Calls You Higher: How to Step Into a New Season Without Fear
    Oct 7 2025
    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. Scriptures from This Episode Hebrews 11:6 — ā€œHe is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.ā€ Psalm 42:1 — ā€œAs the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God.ā€ Psalm 18:33 — ā€œHe makes my feet like the feet of deer, and sets me on my high places.ā€ Psalm 18:36 — ā€œYou enlarged my path under me; so my feet did not slip.ā€ Deuteronomy 12:9 — ā€œFor as yet you have not come to the rest and the inheritance which the Lord your God is giving you.ā€ Reflection Questions 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. If this episode blessed you, would you share it with a friend who needs this reminder? Your share could be the encouragement she’s been praying for. And if it spoke to your heart, please take a quick moment to leave a five-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify—it helps more sisters find hope, healing, and strength in Jesus.

  • This Will Change Your Life—Say Yes to God’s Call
    Sep 23 2025

    āœļø Ready to go all in with God on your fitness? Start the 7-Day Christian Fitness Challenge → kimdolanleto.com/7-day-christian-fitness-challenge

    What if the only thing standing between you and the life God has called you to is one simple word: yes?

    So many Christian women feel unseen, overlooked, or too small to make a difference. But your yes to God matters. It doesn’t have to be big. It doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to be obedient.

    In this episode of Strong. Confident. His., I’m sharing stories, scriptures, and lessons that reveal how God multiplies even the smallest acts of faith into something greater than we could ever imagine. Whether you’re looking for encouragement, biblical motivation, or a Christ-centered health and fitness plan, this message will remind you that the world doesn’t write your story—God does.

    Inside this Episode:
    • The story of the little boy and the starfish—and why it matters for your calling.

    • How God turned my rejection into a bestselling book (and what it means for your story).

    • Key scriptures to remind you who’s really writing your life (hint: not the critics).

    • A powerful excerpt from The Greatest Salesman in the World by Og Mandino.

    • Four truths that will give you courage to say yes to God today.

    Key Takeaways for Christian Women
    • Your yes changes everything. Even if it touches just one life, it matters to Him.

    • Rejection isn’t the end of your story. God is still writing, even in the pauses.

    • Faith is obedience, not perfection. Step out scared, but step out with Him.

    • Do the one thing God is calling you to do. Like the starfish, He will multiply your obedience beyond what you can see.

    Scriptures from This Episode
    • Psalm 138:3 — ā€œIn the day when I cried out, You answered me, And made me bold with strength in my soul.ā€

    • Psalm 37:23 — ā€œThe steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way.ā€

    • Proverbs 16:9 — ā€œA man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.ā€

    • Hebrews 12:2 — ā€œLooking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.ā€

    • Romans 8:31 — ā€œIf God is for us, who can be against us?ā€

    • Hebrews 11:1 — ā€œNow faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.ā€

    This isn’t just an episode to listen to once. It’s a message to return to whenever doubt or fear creeps in. Because when you say yes to God, He writes a story greater than anything you could imagine.

  • I Forgive Him: 3 Words Changing the World Right Now (Erika Kirk)
    Sep 22 2025

    My heart is still processing this moment, and I’m wondering if you are too. When Erika Kirk, in the middle of unimaginable pain, spoke three words — ā€œI forgive himā€ — the world stopped to listen. Forgiveness like that doesn’t come from us; it comes from Jesus.

    In this episode of Strong. Confident. His., we’re talking about:

    • Why forgiveness is not a feeling but a choice

    • The cost of unforgiveness and how it keeps us chained

    • How forgiveness frees us — even if the other person never changes

    This isn’t about politics. It’s about following Jesus. Forgiveness when it feels impossible. Forgiveness that shocks the world. Forgiveness that can only come through Him.

    Key Scriptures: Matthew 22:37–39, Luke 23:34, Romans 8:1, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Colossians 3:13

    My prayer is that this conversation points you straight to Jesus, brings you peace and reminds you that forgiveness is possible — for others and for yourself.

    Maybe someone you love needs this hope today — share it with them.

    Remember, You are Strong. Confident. His.
