Hey Sister,

One day, I was feeling really down, so I did a Google search on the best motivational speeches. I found a few that were great, but they were worldly. All hype, and no Jesus!

I know God had me go through this experience, so I could create the very thing I needed to hear that day. I prayed about what to say, and God blew me away with this. I'm so excited to share it with you. I pray it blesses you again and again. 

Promise me you'll listen. And share it. It's very important that you press that play button and that you save this page. You are not alone on your fitness journey, so refer back to this as often as you need it.

I'm here for you Sister, and in case you want to read the words I wrote, here they are. I typed them through Holy Spirit-filled tears! God is so good.

 The BEST MOTIVATIONAL SPEECH: Failure is NOT Your Destiny! by Kim Dolan Leto

There will be days you want to quit. 

When frustration overtakes you. 

And hopelessness...

Okay, heart to heart, Sister-friend,

I know how hard fitness can be, but I also know that fitness with God is the lasting answer you’ve been looking for.
I want you to succeed. 
In case no one has ever told you, Jesus chose you and He set you apart for such a time as this. This is your time, girl! No more settling for less than. It's GO time!
Yes! You can get fit and feel good in your body.

Today is all about the NEW! 

I'm so excited to share that I wrote a New Book, Fit God's Way!

 Fit God's Way Your Bible-Based Plan to Food, Fitness, and Wholeness

“Making fitness a Spirit-led lifestyle instead of a flesh-driven frustration project is the turning point of greatness,” And as you make this pivotal change, you discover a new hope because God can do a ‘new thing’ in your fitness.” 

This book is the daily plan every Christian woman has been missing!

"Fit God’s Way isn’t about achieving a look, it’s about...

Do you ever question God’s plan for you? Did you know God has given you gifts and passions that could very well be your purpose? If you’ve allowed other people’s opinions, fear, or doubt to stop you from owning your dream, this is for you.

Jill Houser felt like she was just made to keep the kids and her husband happy, but she had a dream.

She’s been married for 17 years and a stay-at-home mom. She felt called to do cosmetology but was told that’s not a real job. It haunted her that she didn’t have a degree, and she compared herself to others.

Now, she wants women to know that they have a purpose. She wants them to listen to their gut and pursue their God-given gifts too!

Jill’s God’s Blueprint Success Story!

“I want to share something that has recently changed my life! Kim Dolan Leto's workshop God's Blueprint for Success. For years I struggled with wanting to be successful but had no idea to go about it...

GIVEAWAY Time! This is exciting! I’m not only sharing my 5 favorite things right now and a lot of tips, but I’m also doing a giveaway with them! This giveaway begins today, October 25th and the winner will be announced on October 31st.

Before I say another word, I want to share the scriptures behind this message and pray.

God loves a cheerful giver. 2 Corinthians 9:7

Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you. Luke 6:38

Dear God, 

Thank you for the gift of the Strong. Confident. His. podcast. Father, I ask you to meet every woman listening right where she needs you. Help her desire the foods you made for her body, help her take the very best care of herself for your glory, help remove whatever is blocking her health and wholeness, and help her shine so brightly in her calling that she leads people to You!

If you're battling addiction, if you're battling wanting to lose weight, if you feel like you can't do it, this episode is for you because this is real talk about hard things. I recently interviewed Alice Shoemaker- Scarborough on the Strong Confident His Podcast. She is a FIT Sister in Christ Member and an amazing example of what it means to be Strong. Confident. His.

God healed Alice from addiction, got her healthy and fit, and took her from food stamps to college. This is her story for God's glory.

She's had a Jesus transformation, and her story is going to touch you whether you've ever battled addiction or not or whether you're trying to lose weight, this is going to bless you. 

Sisters, this conversation is real, raw, and deep. Please join us in watching the conversation. No blog post can capture the realness and emotion we expressed during this interview.

I reached out to my Fit Sisters in Christ Facebook group and asked the question, “What is the biggest problem you need help with on your fitness journey?” Tell me in the comments. So today, I’m going to answer as many as I can.

Before I dive in, let’s pray!

Dear God,

So many of us are stuck. We need answers. Our fitness journeys feel like an on and off again roller coaster. Please help us remember that your mercies are new every morning and in you, we don’t need to have guilt about food or missed workouts or what we weigh or how we look because our worth isn’t tied to any of that. Our worth is in you. Please Father help us remember this so we stop getting stuck and basing our level of commitment on our performance. Make it clear, lift the negative spirit of confusion, laziness, and inconsistency and help us go all in with you. we love you and want to live for you for your plans and purposes. Stop this fitness thing from getting in the way. We...

Ever wonder why being consistent with your food, workouts, and motivation is SO hard?

This blog will give you the reasons why and 5 things you can do to that work!

I want to introduce you to Christine because her problem is many of our problems, but she beat it in the Lord.

She came to me because she couldn’t stick to her goals. She would do really well for a couple of weeks, but then she would quit. She asked me to help her understand why she kept quitting. I asked Christine if she had ever made God the God of her fitness goals. She laughed and said, “What do you mean? He doesn’t care about the forty pounds I need to lose.” As we spoke, Christine started to cry and said, “I did this to myself. I did this to my body. Why would God want to help me, and how could He help me?”

Maybe today you feel like Christine. You’ve started and stopped your fitness goals more times than you can count—but you really want to see them through.

If you...

Here’s something you may not know about me, I love writing, and my mind is always putting words together. What’s funny is God always gives me quotes when I’m working out. There’s something about moving my body and listening to Christian music that really brings on creativity. I believe so much that Jesus is right there waiting on us to say, I need you, so let’s...
